Generative CAD Services Limited is proud to be an Autodesk Authorised Learning Partner and a SolidWorks (Dassault Systèmes) Authorised Learning and Solution Partner, plus our Flashforge and Voltera Technology Capability Partnerships. Our curricula are professionally structured and approved by these industry leaders.

Courses & Certification

Upon successful completion of your courses, you will receive an instant Certificate of Completion from the learning platform. Also, depending on your track, you might be eligible to receive another Certificate of Completion directly from Autodesk or from Generative CAD (officially backed by SolidWorks).
Our courses feature an outcome-based and role-based structure. You will complete a minimum of two real-life case study projects. Every project is reviewed and graded by Certified Industry Professionals who provide you with personalised, actionable feedback to ensure you are mastering the concepts.
Learners are required to have their own access to the necessary CAD software (such as SolidWorks or Autodesk tools) to complete the coursework. However, we provide direct technical guidance, expert mentorship, and the structured curricula you need to master these tools completely.
Completing any of our specialisation tracks means you have at least two graded real-world case study projects, which provide an equivalent practical application work experience. This provides instant hands-on and portfolio-building experience in a specialised role, such as a Product Design Engineer, Product Development Engineer, Electronics Design Engineer, BIM Specialist, etc.
