Si, aunque creo que hicieron falta más consejos o atajos como tambien usar otros comandos para facilitar el uso del software.

By Carlos on 7/3/2026

All this is new to me, and his way of explaining plus the materials he provides, makes everything clear so you can learn fast

By Piyush Nigam on 5/19/2026

Totally awesome for someone who has only done engineering drawing on the traditional design board with a 2D paper on it!

By Brian Stanfield on 4/21/2026

Very easy to understand and follow along with even though I am using a different version of the software. Great instruction!

By Dinara Rahmatullaeva on 2/8/2026

The course is good, but it is very short and does not fully match its title. More exercises and examples of tools should have been shown, and the functions were not explained in detail. Thank you all!

By Benjamin Lattner on 1/14/2026

Excellent course for covering the fundamentals of solidworks, helped me to refresh the skills I learned in college but had not used for a while and taught me a few things to do to make my designs better.

By Haggai Paz on 12/24/2025

Not sure about the logic of the steps. Additionally, there are comments and links that disrupt the flow of the course.

By Sanyam Jain on 12/21/2025

Its great to learn SolidWorks CSWA, now I would be happy to share this knowledge with other and also using this expertise as a working professional.

By Ashwath Salaskar on 11/5/2025

Being an electrical engineer, this software is out of my domain, still I wanted to learn it just for hobby purpose. The course has equipped me with all the basics in Solidworks that I need to design a 3D model of almost anything. The instructor has explained everything really well and all the lessons are structured properly. Sufficient practice drawings are also given at the end of each section which helps you to become confident in applying the various functions. Overall a fantastic course!
