What is CAD Academy's Mission?
Context-first
Learn inside a simulated interface. No abstract theory, no hours of confusing video. A simple hands on approach.
Student-built
Designed by someone who sat exactly where you are confused, impatient, eager and terrible teachers to learn from.
Quality-Content
Custom crafted parts, assets and tasks for you to chew on until you've mastered the software.
CAD Academy was startedby me Liam Holt after competing in the Swedish national CAD championships, after missing out on first place i also missed my chance to represent Sweden in international CAD competitions. So not to have "wasted" all my time getting to know Inventor i decided to start this, a place where anyone should be able to learn cad. Not only learn it but master it though well though out practice problems and guides.

Most tutorials are linear, CAD isnt
To learn cad you don't just need practice, you need intuition and knowledge about your software. You cant watch a 40-minute video to learn what one button does. With CAD Academy you click the button and we serve you the lesson exactly where your cursor already is so you build muscle memory while you learn.
