What is a LabVIEW CLAD?

A LabVIEW CLAD (Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer) is an entry-level certification from National Instruments (NI) that demonstrates a basic proficiency in using LabVIEW, a graphical programming environment widely used for data acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation. Earning this certification shows that an individual understands fundamental LabVIEW concepts, can develop simple applications, and is familiar with best practices for LabVIEW programming. The CLAD exam is typically taken by engineers, technicians, or students looking to validate their foundational LabVIEW skills and improve their job prospects in industries that use this software.
