FEA Engineer

by LAURIE KRISTY

I am an experienced FEA engineer who is trying to grow CAD skills. I was skeptical before taking this program. But it is very well constructed and solid program. What a great program it is !!! Explains everything in depth so that it can be easily understood by a beginner whilst using advanced techniques needed to be a professional. Private community and Instructor support are a hidden gem here and worth every penny. Initially I enrolled in standard plan. After 4 weeks I updated my plan to lifetime plan. Now I don’t have to chase against time anymore and lifetime community support is a great deal for me.

As a student, it is very hard to find an affordable SolidWorks learning program. My university SolidWorks course teaches only basics which is not enough if you want to design something complex. Thank god I found MCAD Skill platform. This one SWLM program is enough to sharpen my SolidWorks skill. Asif always mentions all kinds of tips and tricks based on his practical design skill, which is a big deal. This program follows 3 steps. Learn, practice, and get certified. Crazy hot structured training program. Asif’s teaching style is clear and always on point in each lecture without spending too much time. Lectures are short like around 5 to 6 min. Easy to remember. Also, you will get a lot of assignments to verify what you learned. If you want an one-stop all in one learning solution for SolidWorks, enroll in this program, you are not going to regrate.

Mechanical Engineer

by CAREY PARRIS

Instructor’s teaching is clear & nice. Has lots of practice exercises. He is very knowledgeable in both CAD software and real-world design. I previously bought all his SolidWorks training modules, because I like his training style. Now I am buying Inventor modules. Thanks for his skills sharing in MCAD Skill.

Design Engineer

by Mehrab Patya

This program changed my professional career forever. I was surprised how quickly I learned SolidWorks. Projects and assignments are deal breaker in this program. The material content and instructions are well constructed and explained clearly. The instructor not only gives step-by-step instructions but offers tips and trick and other essential features in cad which you might not find in text books. This course alone is a good stepping stone to get familiar with SolidWorks cad.

Senior FEA Engineer

by Artemiy Kornel

Due to time limitation, I was looking for an online SolidWorks CAD course and then I found MCAD Skill. I was holding my review until now. Currently about half way through this program and it blows my mind that how much content Instructor added in this program. Instructor explains everything in a simplest way possible and didn’t leave a single option in SolidWorks. I was given 3 days to learn SolidWorks based on my companies training manual and it missed so much that is in here! Thanks for this program.

Graduate Student

by Elspeth Kuba

It's a great honor to be part of this special program. I learned a lot, really. Every topic explained from the beginning. No previous knowledge of solid modelling is required. This technical knowledge is also useful for other solid modelling tool. The instructor has extensive knowledge on this program and presents in a way that’s easy to follow. Each lecture is very short and easy to follow. I also noticed they update and add new content frequently.
