Course description
Autodesk Inventor Essentials - live online training.
3-day Autodesk-accredited introductory training course. Live online training lets you participate in a live Inventor course from your place of work or home.
Our Autodesk Inventor Essentials course aims to provide new users of Inventor with the essential knowledge required to design 3D parametric parts and assemblies.
This training consists of lectures, demonstrations and hands-on practice to give delegates a comprehensive understanding of the principles behind parametric design, as well as the skills to use Inventor to produce production-ready part and assembly designs.
Armada's approach to live online training:
When you attend our live online Inventor Essentials training, you’re participating in a real course, hosted by a real trainer, in real time. Your experience will be as close as possible to actually being in the classroom…
- You'll be able to see, hear and speak to our trainer and other delegates participating in your Inventor course.
- The other delegates will be able to see you.
- You can share your screen with our trainer to show them what you’re seeing.
- The training will follow the same syllabus as our classroom-based Inventor Essentials courses.
- It will be presented by the same Autodesk Certified Instructors.
- We’ll post you a training guide, and send you all the information you need to participate in the training.
- You’ll receive an e-certificate confirming successful completion of an Autodesk-accredited course.
- You’ll be entitled to 30 days’ email support from your trainer.
The setup is simple, but if there’s anything you’re not sure about we’re always here to help.
If you haven’t got Inventor installed on your computer, we’ll send you a link to fully-functional trial software that you can download and install.
This is an Autodesk-authorised course, run by an Autodesk Certified Instructor (ACI).
