Certificate in SolidWorks

Master the Industry-Leading CAD Software for Engineering and Design Excellence

Step into the world of precision engineering and digital design with the Certificate in SolidWorks. This in-depth course offers a structured pathway to mastering SolidWorks—one of the most widely used 3D computer-aided design (CAD) platforms in the engineering, manufacturing, and product development industries.

Whether you're an aspiring designer, a mechanical engineer, or someone looking to sharpen your technical portfolio, this course equips you with the skills and confidence to create detailed models, assemblies, simulations, and production-ready drawings.

🧭 Course Modules Overview

1. Introduction to SolidWorks

Get acquainted with the SolidWorks interface, essential tools, and basic navigation. This module lays the foundation for a smooth and confident start to your design journey.

2. Sketching and Part Modelling

Master the fundamentals of 2D sketching and transition seamlessly into 3D part modelling. Learn how to build accurate, fully-defined parts using key features such as extrude, revolve, fillet, and more.

3. Assembly Design

Explore how individual components come together to form complex assemblies. You'll learn how to apply mates, test fit, simulate motion, and troubleshoot interference to ensure design functionality.

4. Advanced Part Modelling

Take your modelling capabilities further by incorporating multi-body parts, complex patterns, lofts, and sweeps—ideal for designs requiring precision and complexity.

5. Surface Modelling
