 At Inspirtech we understand that learning a new software package can be an overwhelming task. Often times, it is difficult to even know where to begin. So, we have put together a structured course that guides users through the learning process. Inspirtech sets itself apart from the competition with a unique and highly effective holistic approach to teaching. Lessons are filled with engaging examples and exercises that are just enough to inspire confidence, yet not too much to confuse and frustrate the learner. Upon completion of the course, learners will be prepared to challenge the CSWA exam. Training features SolidWorks intigration to give users access to all of the videos from the inside of SolidWorks Software

SolidWorks Tutorials and Training

Written by Super User. Posted in Uncategorised

Inspirtech takes a holistic approach to creating SolidWorks Tutorials that teach SolidWorks 2011 & Student Edition 2011/2012 by combining the knowledge of SolidWorks® Certified Professionals and qualified teachers, to create a structured training solution, rich with examples and exercises. Course material is structured in such a way that each topic can be either thoroughly examined or quickly understood, based on the student's aptitude.

Inspirtech is Your Personal SolidWorks Tutor
Many video tutorials to learn Software should be more appropriately named "Video-based help files", making them more of a resource and less of a way of learning the software. However, you can think of Inspirtech as more of your own personal SolidWorks Tutor to guide you through the learning process and CNCgeek says when reviewing the training on Amazon.com, "You can always go back and search for a specific topic, but there is no substitute for having that logical path to follow."

Summary

As you continue on your quest to learn SolidWorks software, I trust you will find the above information a help. Remember, there are many free SolidWorks tutorials available. However, if you are looking to create a solid foundation to build a career on, then there is no better way to learn SolidWorks software then by using SolidWorks video tutorials by Inspirtech LLC.
