FAQ

  • Can I talk to a real human?

    Yep! Call us at (415) 941-4114 or email us at Create@CADClass.org

  • Which license of Fusion 360 Do I need?

    We suggest you download the hobbyist, educational, startup, or free personal license from Fusion 360. There's no need to pay for the software to complete our course. Any license will work.

  • How long do I have access to the videos and materials?

    You will have access the videos, PDFs, and materials indefinitely. We will not revoke access.

  • I'm a teacher or professional, will my organization reimburse me?

    In many cases, yes but that will depend on your institution or manager. You will receive a course completion certificate proving you completed this course. It definitely does not hurt to ask.

  • How long does it take to complete the course?

    CAD Class is a "suggested" 12-week program but can be completed faster or slower depending on your needs. We find that students who stick to a weekly schedule complete the course at a higher rate and get more value. It takes about 2-4 hours per week to complete most weeks. You will have access to these course materials forever.

  • What will I get after completing the course?

    You will receive a personalized course completion certificate and get mad props from us. In addition, you will be invited to the graduates-only discord server where you can continue to collaborate and build with your knowledgeable peers.

  • How do I get access to the community part of CAD Class?

    Upon purchasing the course you will receive a link to attend live zoom weekly office hours as well as a private Discord server link where you can talk with us and your peers, and get help with projects.

  • I'm a teacher, makerspace, or technical professional looking to integrate this program. Can you accommodate a large group?

    Yes we can! We can also track progress and give instructor access to additional course resources. Call (415) 941-4114 or email Create@CADClass.org for more information

  • What age and skill levels does your course accomodate?

    Our class works great for students from 12 to 100 and is designed for beginners with no prior CAD experience. Students under 12 may still be able to complete the course, but might require additional help from a parent or mentor.

Additional Testimonials:

I learned a lot of tiny details along the way in the video that helped me.  I can't believe I can make this stuff.  Great work!

- Randy C

I'm already 100x better using fusion after week 1! I was able to design and 3D print a custom rack for my car!

- Justin R

I am learning so much about how to model from you guys it is unreal.

- Braden H

I thought it was great. I really liked the extra context regarding manufacturing techniques (i.e., explaining why there would be a slight bevel for vacuum forming)!
