SOLIDWORKS Design training courses will explore the fundamental and advanced modeling techniques available both within the 2D and 3D SOLIDWORKS environment. Your SOLIDWORKS training should start with these essential courses. These design training courses are constructed to prepare you for industry specific courses and/or a certification in SOLIDWORKS.

SOLIDWORKS Essentials covers the fundamentals of SOLIDWORKS and is the foundation on which you can build your modeling skills. It covers the base concepts and conventions on which the rest of our SOLIDWORKS classes are based. If you need to create drawings of your designs, SOLIDWORKS Drawings will show you how to make complete design documentation. Part Modeling and Assembly Modeling will complete your knowledge of solids modeling tools and techniques. If your designs require complex or organic shapes, Advanced Surfacing Modeling will introduce you to surface modeling techniques.

Training Testimonials

It is difficult to stay engaged in a 5-day training, but [The Instructor] made it easy to stay involved. He is clearly very knowledgeable in the practical uses of SOLIDWORKS and appears to enjoy teaching. The pace of the class allowed enough time to let things sink in. ... Overall, a great course! I learned a great deal ... and hope to continue building my knowledge base in SOLIDWORKS.

Piper Howell

[The Trainer's] knowledge of SOLIDWORKS and background in industrial design gave him credibility as an instructor. He confidently answered all questions that were raised.

Aida Smith

The course was very concise, to the point, and informative. [The Instructor] was very detail oriented and educational.
