Why SolidWorks PRO Academy?

If you’ve been trying to learn SolidWorks by yourself, you probably already know how frustrating it can feel.

One day you understand.

The next day you open a new part and don’t know where to start.

You get errors.

Sketches get messy.

Assemblies don’t move correctly.

Drawings don’t look professional.

And after a while, you start thinking:

“Maybe I’m just not good at this.”

But that’s usually not true.

Most of the time, you don’t need more random tutorials.

You need structure.

You need practice.

You need real examples.

And you need a clear path to follow.

That’s why I SolidWorks PRO Academy helps.

So if you want to become more confident in SolidWorks, prepare for certification, and start building real CAD skills, this is for you.

Questions?

Is this Academy for complete beginners?

Yes. We start from zero. You’ll learn the SolidWorks interface, basic sketching, part modeling, assemblies, and how to actually build real-world parts. No experience needed.

How long do I get access to the Academy?

You have access as long as you are subscribed.

What exactly do I get when I join?

You get instant access to the full SolidWorks courses library, real project tutorials, and a few powerful extras. Plus, direct 1-on-1 email support from me whenever you get stuck.

What version of SolidWorks do I need?

Any version from 2016 and up is totally fine. You don’t need the latest one — almost everything we cover works in older versions too.

Do I need to be “good at computers” to do this?

No. If you can open SolidWorks and follow simple steps, you’re good. Everything is explained clearly and built for someone with no tech background.

What if I get stuck or confused?

Email me. Seriously. I’ll help you personally, explain what’s wrong and how to fix it. You’re not alone here.

Do you provide SolidWorks software?

I don't but I can help you to get student version even if you're not a student.

What if it’s not for me?

If you feel this is not for you, you can unsubscribe anytime.

What is the difference between Standard and Premium?

Standard gives you the main SolidWorks training path, including part design, assemblies, drawings, and projects.

PREMIUM gives you everything in Premium, plus advanced courses CSWA, CSWP, Surfacing, Sheet Metal, FEA, CFD, portfolio template, and career/freelancing guidance.

Can I watch the lessons anytime?

Yes. You can go through the training at your own pace.
