TRAINING APPLICATION

You have attended the training and discovered new tools which can aid your design, now it's time for the entire team to implement these tools and design using a consistent workflow. With the help of one of our applications engineers, you can ensure that your team are well supported to get up and running with SOLIDWORKS straight away.

After completing the SOLIDWORKS training courses it can be a daunting process having to apply your newly established SOLIDWORKS skills to your own products for the first time and failure to do this straight away can result in this knowledge being forgotten.

Avoid this potentially expensive mistake from happening at your business by arranging for one of our experienced Applications Engineers to visit your team and provide them with over the shoulder support when going live with SOLIDWORKS for the first time.
