"I have to say that I had
some doubts about doing a refresher course in CATIA V5, but pleased to say
that doing the course over the internet was the best way in fact to get
some quality one on one training. The fact that the instructor was in the
USA and I was overseas in the U.K. made no difference and I was able to
have one-on-one teaching at my own pace. The instructor, Brandon, was
first class and explained and answered all my questions. Keith and the
crew where very helpful. If you have an internet connection where ever you
are then this is the way to do training." Prior to the Childress' pioneering the use of the Internet to deliver CATIA training, the only way a person could attend the Childress' practical CATIA training course was to enroll in one of their onsite classes in the Metro Detroit area. However, with the ever-growing popularity of high-speed internet connections, such as cable and DSL, it became possible to bring practical CATIA training to people who live in areas, or have schedules that make attending an onsite class impractical.
With Practical CAD Internet-Based TrainingTM, a student sits in the comfort and privacy of their own home or office and interfaces one-on-one with a Practical CAD Training instructor via the Internet. Using sophisticated technology, the student is able to view and operate CATIA® on the instructors computer while the instructor watches. The instructor and student engage in a real-time dialogue while control of CATIA® is passed back and forth between the student and instructor. It is truly like having the instructor sitting right next to the student. The student does not need own the CATIA software. With the Practical CAD Internet-Based TrainingTM solution, the student is able to use CATIA® on the instructor's computer as if were installed on their very own computer. An added bonus is that the student is allowed extra practice time before and after the training session (based on scheduling). Click here to view a demo of a live training session To try a live demo of the online training, send an email to tchildress@practicalCAD.com to schedule a time. One of the instructors will personally show how it works before you commit to the training. All that is required is a high-speed internet connection (cable or DSL) and the Windows Operating System (XP, Vista, Windows 7). How it Works The Childress' developed a small program that the student simply downloads and installs on their computer that allows them to interface with the instructor's computer. They are able to view and operate the instructors computer with their keyboard and mouse as if it were their very own. The student and the instructor will meet online at predetermined times. The instructor will do a lecture while the student watches and asks questions. The student will then do the assignment while the instructor observes and provides guidance. This is no different than if the student and instructor were sitting in the same room together. Practical CAD Internet-Based TrainingTM is identical to the in-class CATIA training and covers the following CATIA® Workbenches:
Testimonials
"Between my business and my family I have a
very hectic schedule. I needed to learn CATIA V5, but I couldn't
afford to hop on a plane and take a week out of my life to attend a class
in some far-off place. I checked into a couple of the online
courses, but none them offered live, one-on-one training. That is until I
came across
Practical CAD
Internet-Based TrainingTM.
It
was the perfect solution. It offers personalized instruction without
the pressure of a classroom environment. I was also able to work at
my own pace and at times that suited my schedule. As such, I didn't
have to miss any work time, Cub Scouts, or my kid's soccer games. And
the technology is amazing. It was like have the instructor sitting
in the chair next to me. This was truly a wonderful experience."
Todd, as I stated to you before, I
have taken V5 basics twice before, but the previous times were in
traditional classroom settings, with other students. This one-on-one
(online) setup is absolutely the best! Thanks for all your help and
patience. Cost
