Cons

poorly designed in the beginning

Other comments

Each lesson is taught specifically and focused on a single lesson. I often did an hour and a half of training a day to learn to manipulate the program how I want it. The training is very professional. It is difficult to start the program when you don't have any clue how to start. About halfway through the training was the most enjoyable due to understanding everything I needed and nothing was too difficult.

It is a very objective and exacting measure of skill, very little room for error. On the plus side, you can take sample tests, which reflect nicely the content on the actual exam.

I learned the basics of using a 3D modeling system. Training included 100% use of the software to perform tasks and functions. Training on the use of the software well done.

Speed parts were difficult at first, but they force you to learn the software. Soon enough, a part that took me an hour took me twenty minutes. I was blessed with an amazing teacher.

Pros

It was a tester you had to learn yourself

Other comments

Helps you design parts and assemblies from blueprints in the 3D program. Really useful for building parts from scratch as well but you need to learn everything yourself.

The solidworks certification center provides online training through several of their videos. But you can also receive on-site training for solid-works to later pass the certification examinations

Great training and positive learning environment. I would recommend any individual taking these test to learn the most out of lessons and classes, since these will be used in real-world applications.

I was never formally trained in Solidworks, I just put in a lot of practice because it interested me. I already had all the skills required to earn the certification so I just got it.

It is a simple test to take that gauges your understanding of simple SolidWorks concepts: sketching, extrusion, lofting, boss cuts, assembly mates, and circular patterns

Great, I found that I had a great understanding of how to use Solid works. I greatly enjoyed my teacher and it was overall a great experience. I think having proficiency in solid works is a wonderful skill.

The training must come from an instructional course outside of the certification. I had taken the class before and then was the instructor for the course so the certification test was a piece of cake.

This school gives both hands on training and in class learning and is accessible for all students. It also allows the students to work freely with extra curricular activities.

Had class work amd hands on. This is a good high school to go to learn about electrical work amd how electricity works. They teach about co trols and residential and about types of electrical work you could get into. They teach about how to trouble shoot and figure out ways to and types of meters you may use to do so.

The course was enjoyable and I enjoyed the experience since I knew it was relevant to what I would be doing. The work can be somewhat difficult at times but as long as you study and keep up with your work the certificate should come easy. I certainly gained knowledge and was able to apply what I learned quite quickly when working in certain situations/workplace environments.

Excellent in class and team experience. I learn people skills, how to interact with diversity, and how to dress and communicate, professionally. Lastly, it's great skills to gain from organization, project management, and judgment.

Slide show presentation, classroom discussion and testing. Paperwork hand out packets were given out to study and went over during class discussion before test was given.

Limited coursework.

Other comments

Limited in options of studies, however, a recommendable niche for the region it is located in. If one plans to leave the region, then their degree/certification doesn't carry as much weight.

Some classes werent as hands on as I would have liked. If wanting to become a diesel tech you still have to go through the entire automotive program

Other comments

Good learning enviroment. They have automotive and diesel programs. But they dont offer only diesel programs. You have to take automotive classe first and then are able to take the diesel portion

I practiced modeling by looking on line and repeating models in CAD modeling books. I was completely self taught, this is just a certificate I thought would further my carrier and that my employer wanted.

Started promptly at 6 AM. We had class room training first. Test each week, and one big project about car accidents due before we could start to drive the vehicles in a test and practice area.

The training is accessible completely online. The instruction is clear and is simple to follow. The level of the program is very basic and there are further certifications that may need to be taken after this.

Most recent review:

Pros

Good teachers

Cons

It wasn't a teacher's program and the cost now is way too high for the amount you will earn.

Other comments

I went so long ago, what little I have to say about the program is irrelevant. Although I will say this: the loans were paid to the university and finalized and then the university decided 20 years later to go through student records and put retroactively new fees on students, saying they had missed putting them on previously. I got hit with another $2500 bill, that was taken out of taxes. There was no way to contest it. My suggestion is avoid Oklahoma University. If you intend to teach art at a PK to 12 level: go to the arts and sciences University in Chickasha instead. Hands down, the teachers are great at OU, great artists, and it's for training professional artists rather than teachers. Due to the financial aspect. I steer people away from the school.

This isn't training anyone can do it was only available through my school. The test is hard but anyone can do it with a little practice and training in assembly and measuring.

It was a lot of studying. Requires a lot of life experience and hands on training. Lots of paperwork that appears to go on forever but eventually you’ll have more paperwork.
