The CSWA is more challenging than what this course prepared for. I wish the practice examples had videos showing how the instructor modeled the part so I could reflect on my approach. Overall, it was a good course and I learned more than I knew, but it could be made better to prepare for the exam specifically.

By Sador Yonas on 10/1/2022

I found this course very interesting and accurate. All the sections explain the basic concepts of SolidWorks very well and furthermore, it's equipped with informative exercises and practice questions. If you want to start from scratch and go beyond, this is the best course.

By Christiaan Botha on 5/15/2021

I went from having no knowledge of the software to being able to design parts and do drawings for work. Still just basics, but I'll improve over time. Thanks.

I normally don't rate so much BUT this course is TOO GOOD not to leave a comment! Hope my review would be helpful for anyone considering this course to learn Solidworks. It's really to the point without any extra fluff...really thankuuu to the teacher and all the team for putting together such an awesome course! I was gonna waste 12 hours a week for a 1 and a half months on an on the ground Solidworks course...I finished this course in only 2 weeks and thanks to the taking notes feature on Udemy I can get back to the parts I forget whenever needed. I can't believe that I never finished a graphics course that quickly in my life So happy thnkxx a lot. I definitely recommend this course! HOWEVER, this course has 2 parts associate certificate and professional certificate so if u already have some knowledge better check the modules of both courses to enroll in the right one and so u won't get disappointed! btw, I wanted to ask sir Tayseer if the professional part2 of this course has motion or mechanics and fluids related topics in it? IF ANYONE KNOWS PLEASE TELL ME thnkuu in advance:)
