Excellent SolidWorks Essentials Training
I had a great experience with the SolidWorks Essentials Training course. Everything was very well organised, and the training progressed smoothly from one lesson to the next. Each session helped me build experience and confidence as a trainee, making the learning process comfortable and easy to follow.
A big shout out to the trainer, Dylon, who was very professional and engaging and did a top job delivering the training. He explained everything clearly and made the sessions interesting and easy to understand. I would definitely recommend this training to anyone looking to learn SolidWorks.

Excellent SolidWorks Training Experience
As a largely self-taught SolidWorks user for the past 4 years, I was keen to get some official training to iron out any bad habits and improve my efficiency. I completed the 3-day Assembly Modelling course led by Graeme, and it exceeded my expectations. The course was well-structured, easy to follow, and plenty of time was provided to complete the exercises without feeling rushed. I was impressed by Graemes' depth of SolidWorks knowledge - he often went above and beyond to answer questions I had, even when they weren't strictly part of the course content. The tips, tricks, and best practices I picked up have already made a noticeable difference to my work. I am looking forward to gaining more certifications through Visiativ in the future!

Solidworks in secondary school
Have had a great experience, working with Jeremy in Visiativ to get Solidworks on computers at my secondary school, for GCSE and A-Level students to use. The school constraints meant the computers had some specification issues, but Jeremy was great at advising what could be done to support the software on the computers, making the process smooth running and successful. Would recommend Visiativ to any teachers who need CAD software and Jeremy was very helpful.

An infrequent user of Solidworks
As an infrequent user of Solidworks, I tend to lean on support a bit more than I should, they help me relearn the functions and teach me new ones. They always guide and demonstrate how to achieve what I need to do. I would not be using this software without having this back up. It is a one-to-one training class at your desk, something I am truly grateful. Thanks Mark, your knowledge is amazing.

Solidworks Setup
I had a great experience with Jeremy, Cameron and Dylan while setting up SolidWorks on my machine. They were extremely knowledgeable, patient, and professional throughout the process.
I had several queries and they took the time to walk me through everything clearly, making sure the software was configured properly and running as it should. Their support made what could have been a frustrating setup process straightforward and stress-free.
I really appreciate the level of expertise and responsiveness they provided. Highly recommended.
