Introduction to Solid Modelling Reviews
Joe ProbertTraining very informative with great instruction. Ste was very knowledgeable and answered questions posed even if outside of the scope of the training.
Christopher AnthonyCovered all areas I required assistance with. Class taught in a way that works for me.
AnonymousThe exercises worked really well to build up an understanding of the software, from the basics to some of the powerful features. Alongside this, the session was delivered fantastically with our trainer accounting for the differing abilities within the group by both exploring further questions with those who did well and providing targeted support to those struggling.

AnonymousGood course
Alexandros Machri MekariI have found the course insightful, extremely helpful, and now feel that I am well prepared in executing my engineering work. Stephen's knowledge and experience has been central to the course, it meant that we covered the learning guides in great detail as well as delving into information concerning tools and functions outside of it. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here at Quadra and have found the course to be pivotal to any beginner who has started using Inventor.
AnonymousThe course was super helpful with so many quick tips shared. Stephen taught in a super easy and understandable way and answer all questions very well.
Griffith WilliamsThe course was fantastic, I learned more in this week than a full-year college course in Autodesk. The instructor was very patient and willing to answer any questions and it made it a very enjoyable and useful experience.
JamesVery useful course delivered by Stephen Hall, build upon existing knowledge and greatly improved my skills.
KieranTaught very well by Stephen. It's clear he's very knowledgeable and experienced in Inventor.

Edward TaylorGreat course
Ronan VennardExcellent Course run by Steven. Very informative and covers all the basics in a manageable way.
MUHAAMED PATELgreat course good coverage of all the basics and carried out in good speed
SteveAs someone using CAD software for the first time, this course was very helpful.
LiamGreat course ran by Stephen!
Madelaine ByrneInteresting and informative course!
Jamie HillGreat tutor, was very helpful.
Amy OwenStephen was very knowledgeable and helpful during the training course making it relevant and interesting.
AnonymousGreat course covering a wide variety of tools on Inventor.
GeorgeCourse was excellent - instruction was clear and concise, and the tutorials were easy to follow.
AnonymousTutorials and exercises really easy to follow and instructor was able to demonstrate the software really well. My only criticism would be that some of the tutorials and exercises showed parts that were not parts that you would realistically create (expensive to manufacture or over complex). Though it's understood that they may be this way to demonstrate how the software would work, it could be misleading for beginners or junior engineers, leading them to later design components in CAD that couldn't be manufactured or would be very expensive.
Liam WalkerBrilliant Training course. Going in with an Electrical Background with no experience of mechanical or 3D Software, the course offered a really helpful set of skills and basics and now I have a much better understanding and confidence in using the software.
AnonymousGood
William DeemingStephen Hall was an excellent trainer who was very open to sharing his experiences with the software and answered all questions about the training and extra information extremely well. It was very well organised and interactive, the training was extremely helpful has has made my CAD knowledge grow so much. Couldn't have asked for better.
John WinterburnVery professional and well delivered course highlighting all of the inventor essentials. A constructive criticism may be that a greater emphasis on modelling tasks to apply learning from tutorials may facilitate a more deep understanding, as with limited use, tutorial experience is unlikely to be committed to long term memory. However in general the tutorials are very well targeted and extremely well presented ensuring a great experience.
AnonymousStephen provided great and interactive training. He answered all questions he could and if he did not know immediately he researched it for us. I had previous experience with similar CAD packages and he was knowledgeable of the differences and limitations of these which was beneficial. I also enjoyed learning the various ways that the same action could be completed to see what I felt easiest.
Andrew ListerVery useful. Will be taking back a few tricks. Quality teaching.
sam grindleySte was very helpful any problems i had were quickly sorted he helped with any questions i had and made sure that i understood every part of it
JodieReally good training course, easy to follow and informative
HarryThe course was extremely helpful and easy to follow. I had never used the software before and now I feel like I can confidently use it.
Joseph ManningVery enjoyable course, well led by Stephen. It gave a full introduction.
Oliver RobertsA very thorough introduction to Inventor and all its different features, great training provided which was very interactive and allowed the training not to drag for users who had already done the basics of CAD modelling before.
AnonymousGreat teacher with clearly lots of experience in 3D modelling and presenting. Informative tutorials and I especially enjoyed the small modelling tasks based on drawings as these solidified the learning. I would recommend to include more of these if possible.
Anthony FletcherLoved the course, very informative. Got easier as we went along. As they say time flies when your having fun! Thanks Steve t'was a pleasure. Hopefully get to see you on the Sheet Metal Course in the not so distant future.
AnonymousGreat course with clear instruction and teaching from Ste. Increased my confidence in Autodesk Inventor and i gained some little tips and tricks along the way. Thank you!
AnonymousExtremely useful and informative course that showed me how to make better use of Inventor features that I was already aware of as well as new features that will streamline and improve my modelling practice. Course instructor Stephen was extremely approachable, always happy to help and demonstrated how to use Inventor in a way that was clear and easy to understand.
Gary NelsonI found the course very interesting and learned a lot over the 4 days. Steve went a good pace keeping everyone engaged throughout. Enjoyed it very much.
