You know you have to "MAKE" time, so start the New Year right by improving your SolidWorks skills. There are a couple of great solutions and at least one of these should suit your needs!
Option One:
You're company might be starting with a new "bank" of training dollars, so if that's the case, consider signing up for one of our awesome Training Classes in Houston, Dallas, or Austin. Don't worry - we aren't boring.. Our instructors are full of personality and energy, while ingesting coffee and candy to fuel terrible nerd jokes. You'll walk away with immediate increase in productivity, a better skill set, a spiralbound, color manual with all of the exercises, files (downloads), and lectures available to you at anytime thereafter. If you don't see a class listed, email us!
Option Two:
No permission or time to get formal training? Are the training locations too far from you? You might consider having your company buy a license for SolidProfessor. SolidProfessor is a SolidWorks Solution Partner delivering the largest library of SolidWorks video training and tutorial courses on the market. While the tutorials in the help menu are a nice introduction to each topic, they don't even compare to the advantage of the video/audio combo of tutorials you get with SolidProfessor. (Right now there's a great promotion going on - 25% off!)
