FAQ
What will I need to take these courses?
You will need an NX CAD license (Mach1 Design level or higher), an appropriately spec’d computer and experience with another parametric 3D-based CAD system (Creo, SolidWorks, CATIA).
What if I do not have an NX License?
Contact us, we will connect you with a partner resource to get you set up with a license.
How long will I have access to the courses?
That depends on the course. Our NX Foundations course provides access for up to 60 days. We find you will get the best learning outcomes if you commit to completing the course within a month.
Can I get a sample lesson from a course?
Yes. Here is a link to a sample lesson from our NX CAD Foundations course. Sample NX Lesson
