Learn the fundamentals of 3D design with SOLIDWORKS through hands-on CAD challenges across five courses. You’ll create and modify sketches, apply material addition and removal features, generate patterns, and assemble parts using mates. This prepares you for the Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate (CSWA) exam, the industry-recognized starting credential for mechanical design. No prior CAD experience required. Works for both classroom and self-paced learning.
