Autodesk Inventor


Course Description:

This foundation course covers the Autodesk Inventor features used to create, edit, document, and print parts and assemblies. Students will learn about the part and assembly modeling tools through instructor led classroom instruction and through the real-world exercises in the course.

Because we know that students learn best by doing, all Cybertek classes are instructor-led classes featuring "hands-on" lectures with students participating with the instructor step-by-step through commands and application features augmented by detailed step-by-step exercises.
