CATalyst NOW

SolidWorks is the the most productive MCAD design tool available, but if you don't know how to use all the features of SolidWorks, you can't reach your peak productivity. CATI's annual CATalyst NOW membership provides the training and support you need in a way to fit your busy schedule.

Traditional Classroom Training - Classroom training is the best way to get up and going fast. The CATalyst NOW membership offers the opportunity to choose any or all of CATI's wide variety of SolidWorks core and industry-specific classes for one full year. You can attend classes at any CATI location.

The Classroom courses listed below are included in the standard CATalyst NOW Program:

• SolidWorks Essentials
• SolidWorks Drawings
  
• SolidWorks Administrator
• SolidWorks Advanced Assembly Modeling
• SolidWorks Advanced Part Modeling
• Solidworks Advanced Surface Modeling
• DriveWorksXpress Training
• SolidWorks File Management
• SolidWorks Industrial Design Modeling
• SolidWorks Mold Design
• SolidWorks Sheet Metal and Weldments
• SolidWorks Translation Techniques

SolidProfessor Learning Managment System (LMS) - To supplement classroom training, you have access to real time training when you need it via the SolidProfessor LMS. SolidProfessor makes content available in bite size chunks that will reinforce what you learn in the classroom.

CAT-PhD Priority Help Desk - Only a phone call or email away, CAT-PhD relieves your team from becoming distracted with software application issues. CAT-PhD enhances the outstanding CATI support with project level assistance in addition to normal defect and "how to" support. Our SolidWorks Pros will be there for you. CAT-PhD includes:

• "911 Solution" - highest priority in list of open issues for CATI Customer Support Staff.
• Extended support hours 7:00am-6:00pm CST.
• WebEx-"Support Center" - online collaboration services for enhanced communication with technicians. Reduces file transfer dramatically. You can see what we are explaining and we can see what is happening on your computer.
• Nth degree resolution: Scenario based support to resolve design intent instead of limiting to software functionality.

The CATalyst NOW Program can be approached as a step-by-step integrated training curriculum to prepare students for the SolidWorks Certified Professional exam. It is recommended that a student start with the SolidWorks Essentials Courses. The student is then ready to take any of our industry specific classes. Upon completion of these classes, the student will be ready to take the CSWP exam.
