The Course
NX is a powerful and flexible CAD software package. There are typically several different methods to accomplish the same desired design result. Many NX classes focus on explaining all the different methods which can wind up confusing students and can make the material feel overwhelming.
Our streamlined training program incorporates short, targeted videos and concise instruction, allowing students to quickly grasp the key functions of Siemens NX. With over 150 bite-sized videos focusing on specific functions and features, students can learn the basic skills needed to be proficient in utilizing Siemens NX in less than half the time of conventional classes.
This allows students to come up to speed quickly without sacrificing the quality of the training and will provide the foundation needed to explore other Siemens modeling methodologies as they progress in their career.
