About this course
SOLIDWORKS is one of the most widely used 3D CAD tools in Indian manufacturing — from machine builders and automotive suppliers to pump, valve and process-equipment companies. This programme builds the core skills employers test for: fully defined sketches, robust feature trees, assemblies that move correctly and drawings that are ready for the shop floor.
The emphasis is on design intent: building models that update predictably when dimensions change. You will use configurations, design tables and equations to create product families, then document them with complete drawing packages and neutral-format exports for suppliers.
What you'll be able to do
Model with design intentCreate fully defined, robust parts that update predictably.
Build working assembliesUse mates, sub-assemblies and interference checks like a pro.
Create product familiesDrive variants with configurations, design tables and equations.
Document for manufacturingProduce drawings with sections, tolerances, BOMs and revisions.
Who it's for

Frequently asked questions
It helps but is not required. We start with sketching fundamentals, though drawing literacy from AutoCAD makes the drawings module easier.
No. This course prepares you for the CSWA (associate) exam. Our SOLIDWORKS Expert course goes further and prepares you for CSWP.
Yes — live classes with a real trainer, not recordings. You'll need a computer that can run the software, decent internet, and a headset or speakers with a mic so you can ask questions.
Yes. Our placement team helps every eligible student — 100% placement assistance. That means resume and portfolio reviews, mock tests and interviews, and introductions to companies that are hiring.
