This in-depth course guides you from fundamental 3D design concepts through advanced mechanical modeling, assemblies, and professional engineering documentation. You’ll tackle practical design scenarios while developing the skills needed to confidently prepare for the SOLIDWORKS Certification Exam for CAD Design. By the end, you’ll have a portfolio of industry-relevant projects and the readiness to move into design or engineering roles with confidence.
As you advance, you’ll build complex multi-part assemblies using standard and advanced mates, configurations, and exploded views. You’ll also produce detailed technical drawings, schematics, and photorealistic renderings appropriate for manufacturing and client presentations. With project-based learning and targeted exam preparation throughout, you’ll gain not just tool proficiency but the ability to apply SOLIDWORKS within real-world engineering workflows.
Unit 1 30 Hours
Learn the essentials of SolidWorks by diving straight into a hands-on project. Begin by exploring the interface and core toolsets, then move on to sketching and 3D modeling to create fully editable parts that reflect solid design intent.
Unit 2 30 Hours
