About Autodesk On-Demand
This Online On-Demand (self-study) training course includes 360-day access to videos lessons. These video lessons provide instructors’ descriptions and demonstrations of key features and concepts. Step-by-step procedures that establish workflows for end-users. Hands-on practice exercises, including provided datasets, take end-users through typical scenarios they will encounter using the software. Command summaries for quick-reference when using the software. Finally, graded review questions validate understanding and track progress and proficiency improvements.
**What You Need to Take this Training**
You will need the Autodesk Inventor software, a high-speed internet connection, and the use of Microsoft Excel. Students registering for this course may be eligible for free access to Autodesk software for a one-year period-please contact our office for details. Please note: this course is designed for a Windows OS.
Autodesk On-Demand Learner Profiles
Autodesk On-Demand is a self-study training solution that was designed for two types of learners. First, Autodesk On-Demand is a great fit for experienced professionals that have some experience with Autodesk and don't need traditional classes to upgrade their existing skills. They can pick and choose topics to make the most effective use of their time. Second, Autodesk On-Demand is perfect for highly-motivated individuals who are new to Autodesk and need to space their learning over a period of weeks or months. These learners can take their time and repeat sections as needed until they master the new concepts.
Prerequisites
Experience with the Windows operating system, basic Microsoft Excel skills, and a background in drafting of 3D parts is recommended. Knowledge of sheet metal processing is an asset, but not required. Additional prerequisites may be met by successfully completing each course in the order presented below.
Note: All Autodesk On-Demand classes are in "mixed units" by default. Metric unit curriculum are available upon request.
Do You Still Prefer a Live, Instructor-led Class?
