PDM and CAD training courses
Get to know your software
People are individuals and they learn individually - and that's a good thing. While one person finds a more intuitive approach to software, another person may have a lot of questions. And as we all know, there are no wrong questions. Our team is didactically trained and prepares content and materials specifically to appeal to early adopters as well as newcomers in the broad fields of product data management and CAD design as well as CAM production. Nevertheless, it obviously makes little sense to train a system administrator, who will ultimately take on completely different tasks in the system, together with a classic user. For this reason, we offer three different courses, all of which end with a certificate.
General information about our training courses
Who should be trained?
We generally recommend training every member of your team who will be working with the new software. The complexity often lies in the interaction of all the systems involved.
Where do training courses take place?
With us, with you, with pleasure as a webinar. Sometimes it is easier to learn outside of your own premises, sometimes the familiar environment is helpful; we are happy to adapt to your team's needs.
Is prior knowledge required?
You should be familiar with and able to use the connected systems for editing your CAD files and Office documents. We will close any smaller gaps together.
What equipment is needed?
The participants work on their own computer and in their own system. Of course, we will provide you with materials and exercises to review the content.
Prices
The specific prices depend on the number of participants, the respective previous knowledge and the location and type of training. We would be happy to prepare a personal offer for you.
Certificate
All participants receive a certificate confirming successful completion of the training. Whatever you learn from us can generally be used in the broad field of product data management and CAD.
