Customer Testimonials

"I had a great experience taking this course, it was very complete, fun and very well explained. The staff and especially our instructor were great at all times. Great service in and outside the classroom. I strongly recommend this course to new users and to users that want to understand the basics from the very beginning."

Terrific experience. I went from zero to effectively understanding the tool and designing with SolidWorks in 5 days! Thanks much!
James Pansino
I found the instructor’s style of teaching very clear and consistent. I appreciated his approach to answering questions. He is tactical with his ability to show multiple ways in which one could reach their intended goal. He was very encouraging, mindful and respectful. Not at any time did I feel uncomfortable or rushed. He regularly reinforced his teachings by reviewing what was previously covered in new sections of the course. 1st Class at it`s finest Thank you for letting me be a part of the class I would be very interested in moving to the next levels.

I enjoy working with CAD Micro! They offer great support by really analyzing the issue and providing a detailed solution for my mechanical and PCB requirements. Wonderful experience every time!

CADMicro precisely sized my needs and helped me through the selection process of the right product for Canimex Group. Even if SolidWorks PCB is new on the market, CADMicro provides good and quick technical support. SolidWorks PCB allows me to be productive in my PCB design for embedded systems by having an interface similar to Altium Designer with a mechanical/electrical collaboration well implemented in the software.

Great! I loved it, I learned more than I had expected, really simple and easy to follow. The instructor is very knowledgeable, I am glad that I took this course.
Gary DuckerSenior Design Engineer from B.Eng
The SolidWorks Simulation course at CAD MicroSolutions is an essential course for those looking to expand their SolidWorks skills and become proficient in the simulation environment. The instructor was very knowledgeable and I came away with a deeper understanding of the FEA process and a greater confidence in achieving meaningful results using the software.
Chris ChimientiEngineer from TTC
The introduction to Solid Works with the Essentials course was very intensive and thorough. As a completely new Solid Works student, I was amazed by how much I could learn in just a 5 day course. The facilities at CAD MicroSolutions were top notch, and the instructor was very helpful (and patient) with teaching this content to new students. Also, the lunches that were provided each day were excellent. It was an amazing opportunity to take this course at your company.

We’ve been dealing with a lot of equipment vendors and you guys are by far the best to deal with.
