Keltia CAD Training Course: Autodesk Inventor OR Fusion 360

Keltia's Autodesk Inventor Fundamentals course is designed to introduce candidates to 2D sketching, 3D modeling, assembly creation, and 2D production/fabrication drawings. In addition to the fundamentals, candidates can also explore more advanced tools like Surfacing and Lofting, Advanced Modeling and Sheetmetal, Kinematics, FEA etc.

This course is available for both individuals and groups, with 4 to 40 hours of training delivered through our Keltia online portal. https://www.keltia-ireland.ie/online-cad-mentoring/.

Classes typically run on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in the late afternoon, but scheduling is flexible to accommodate students. Live engineer instructor-led sessions ensure hands-on learning for faster and higher-quality skill development. We also try to tailor our content to your learning needs so if there are specific topics you would like to cover let us know.
