How to learn SOLIDWORKS when you can’t attend a training class?!

Designer in the office

You probably have big plans to learn SOLIDWORKS, gain new skills, and become a better user. You likely want to spend a couple of days attending a training course with a SOLIDWORKS expert to learn new techniques and get your questions answered. However you probably can’t make it out to your local training provider for a number of reasons, the most common of which are listed below:

• I’m too busy at work and I’ve not got the time to spend entire days in a training class to learn SOLIDWORKS.
• I need to be in the office to deal with on going issues, it’s tough to be off site at a training facility.
• Your training facility is in an inconvenient location for me.
• I want to learn on my own machine, in my own office, or even better from home!
• My local training provider does not have a class available?

Solution: Javelin Online LIVE Training!

We understand all of the reasons why it’s difficult to attend a training course which is why we offer an alternative for busy SOLIDWORKS users, it’s called JOLT, Javelin Online Live Training. If you are unable to leave the office to take a training course then we can bring the classroom to you for a short period of time during your work day.

For just a few hours a day you can take the same certified SOLIDWORKS class over the web. It is exactly the same experience as a classroom based course but with a more convenient delivery that will allow you to learn SOLIDWORKS from your office or home, without disrupting your entire work day!

Training is delivered via a live interactive learning environment where you can ask questions, get immediate answers from the instructor, and learn hands-on with SOLIDWORKS exercise files.
