Finding the Right SOLIDWORKS Training Course

While you can always contact us to discuss training options, one of the best places to begin your journey is on the Hawk Ridge Systems Training page:

Here you’ll find options for training in SOLIDWORKS, CAMWorks and best of all, training packages that unlock multiple classes at a steep discount. Click on SOLIDWORKS Training or CAMWORKS Training (shown below) to learn more about the various learning methods we offer and why Hawk Ridge Systems is the best in the business when it comes to SOLIDWORKS Training:

Selecting either SOLIDWORKS or CAMWorks training will allow you to view the Course Catalog or the Course Schedule for classes:

Check out the Course Catalog to see our full list of available classes, and select a class thumbnail for an overview of the course, including length, training credit cost, and a list of topics covered. Scrolling down the page, you’ll also find the next upcoming session(s) of the class:

Alternatively, you may prefer to browse the Course Schedule page if you already know which class(es) you’d like to take. Here, you’ll find a calendar showing upcoming instructor-led classes both online and in-person. Filters can be used to change the courses shown on the calendar along with the month, as well as the desired classroom location, which can also be set to include or exclude online classes:

After selecting your class of interest, proceed to registration by selecting Register Now:

Fill out the required fields, select Submit, and you’ll be on your way to professional SOLIDWORKS training with Hawk Ridge Systems experts. Please note that if you register for a class without a purchase, our Sales department will need to reach out to you in order to complete your payment and registration prior to the class.

While browsing the Course Catalog, you may notice that some of our courses are available in a self-paced format:

These courses do not require an instructor, and as such are not tied to a schedule, allowing you to work at your own pace and revisit material as often as you’d like over the course of one year from the date of purchase. Note, while these courses are available in the Course Catalog, you will not find them on the Course Schedule. With all these available learning methods, Hawk Ridge Systems has a SOLIDWORKS training solution designed just for you no matter how you prefer to learn.

Purchasing Courses

At the top of each class page (found via the Course Catalog), you’ll find a link to purchase the course directly:

training-hrs-blog-8

Simply follow this link and scroll down to add the class to your cart, and continue browsing until you’ve added all the courses you’d like to purchase:

Once you’re finished, use the cart icon at the top right of the screen to review your cart and checkout.

Training Packages and Credit Blocks

Finally, if you’re ready to learn everything there is to learn about SOLIDWORKS, consider looking at our available Training Packages. Our most popular training package includes as many as nine training courses at one affordable price. We offer several different packages for different types of SOLIDWORKS users, so be sure to check them out:

If you’re not quite sure which classes you’d like to take, you might also consider purchasing training credit blocks for future use and maximum training flexibility (available on the Training Packages page):

That’s all there is to becoming a SOLIDWORKS expert. You can always revisit the Hawk Ridge Systems Training page to view the course schedule or purchase additional classes, and we are always happy to discuss if you have any questions. And don’t forget – you now have access to our world-class technical support team who’d love to hear from you, along with hundreds of educational videos and articles at the Hawk Ridge Systems Resource Center. Thanks for reading!
