Often taken together, but available separately depending on your needs, the SOLIDWORKS Essentials and SOLIDWORKS Drawings training courses will build the key skills and understanding needed for confident, effective use of SOLIDWORKS. Rather than focusing solely on individual tools, both courses take a task-based approach, guiding you through real design workflows.

Over five days, the SOLIDWORKS Essentials course covers the creation of 3D parts and assemblies, while the three-day Drawings course teaches you how to produce clear, accurate manufacturing drawings from your models.

Topics include: 2D sketching, parametric part and assembly modelling, bottom-up design, dynamic motion, detailed drawing creation, and managing design updates with full associativity.

The SOLIDWORKS Essentials and Drawings courses are ideal for beginners, as well as existing users looking to refresh their knowledge, improve efficiency and adopt up-to-date modelling techniques. These hands-on courses provide a strong foundation in the core tools and workflows needed to use SOLIDWORKS effectively in a professional setting.

By the end of the SOLIDWORKS Essentials training course, you’ll be able to model parts with confidence, create static or moving assemblies, and carry out basic stress analysis on individual components using SimulationXpress.

After you’ve completed the Drawings Course, you’ll have the practical skills required to produce detailed, production-ready drawings complete with dimensions and annotations, helping you communicate your designs clearly and accurately.
