Description

My name is Alex, and I am a Design Engineer.

I have been working for more than 18 years with Catia V5 in automotive engineering, racing and industrial design.

All the knowledge and experience that I gained helped me work with companies like Ferrari Formula One Team, Red Bull Racing, Jaguar Land Rover, Aston Martin and others.

In this course I will teach you everything I know about Catia V5 and everything you need, to be ready to work in a company.

I will show you all the commands and also how to use them in real design like you would be working on a job.

Catia V5 is easy to learn. Learning how to use it is the real secret. And its not that hard, I will show you.

You don’t need 30 hours to learn this software.

My videos are edited only with the information that you need with no intro and no waiting around.

You will also have my personal email where I will answer your questions and help you if you need it.

First we will build two assemblies from scratch where you will learn how to design in Catia V5.

Then you study the video library where all the commands and options will be explained in detail.

After you study the library there are other videos with tips and projects to consolidate your experience.

At the end I made some videos with information from all the industries I worked in and with tips.

This course will teach you Catia V5 and also how to use it in a business environment.

I will show you how I got my first job with no experience and how you can also do it.

Everything I teach comes from my practical experience only, no theories.

And I only wish to give you some inspiration.

See you in the course!
