About me: I am a Civil Engineer from India with 10 years of experience. I have used Staad Pro professionally in Multinational companies with 'perfect' and 'excellent' feedbacks from clients. I am here to share the tips and tutorials on it, in this new fast-tracked course.
(30-DAY-MONEYBACK-GUARANTEE: There is the 30-day moneyback guarantee on this course by Udemy to ensure you feel confident in your investment in case you want to opt out.)
About the course: Imagine struggling for many days with STAAD Pro, seeing errors in output, while on the other hand, finishing the same task in one hour, error-free and moving on. What is the difference? It is 'trying to know everything without focus' vs 'Knowing the right workflows used by professionals'. This course provides the later: the precise workflows for most of the structural challenges you'll face in practice, helping you build proficiency and speed. Once you can understand the basic working blocks, you can be confident to do all similar structure by using the same principles.
If you're expecting detailed tutorials on every tool or toolbar of staad pro, I am very sorry to say, but this course isn’t for you. For tutorials on each tool, you can refer to the STAAD Pro 'help file' available in the software menu! Information about every tool is given there. But what you will not find there, are practical tips shared in this series of tutorials. So I focused on only the necessary tools, and practical knowledge of overall workflows which are useful in professional scenarios , skipping unnecessary and repetitive lessons to keep your time invested valuable.
Someone, not in my student list, has given me a very low star rating, ruining the course rating at the fresh start. If you find that this course isn't for you, I ask that you kindly opt out of the program and refrain from leaving a negative feedback. If somehow this course is not benefitting you, there are many other good Staad pro tutorials in Udemy by others. Check out what you like instead! But this low rating may give the course in low price now. So opt in quickly for lifetime access to the materials before the price goes up.
Finally, If you ever find yourself leading a team, you may appreciate when people working for you know these right methods. Hence, I encourage you to start your journey today with these tutorials. I would have appreciated, had I learnt them earlier at the start of my career. So give it a go if you are looking to learn the software well. Get driven by curiosity and a desire to succeed in mastering STAAD Pro. Best of luck.
When you start, you will get the right tip on how to follow the lessons to learn well. So try to follow that advise unless you want to freestyle it. Choose the way that suits you!
Note: If you see subtitles generated then it is by Udemy A.I, I do not hold responsibility of the correctness of the subtitles. But it can be helpful to people who need assisted learning so its good I guess.
