A complete Fusion [360] curriculum designed to help educators confidently teach CAD through structured projects, guided instruction, and ready-to-use learning materials.
Aligned to the Autodesk Certified User Exam, this course helps educators teach toward real certification outcomes while keeping learning engaging and manageable.
Trusted by educators and institutions worldwide, including faculty at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, UCL, and Cambridge. Autodesk Authorized Training Center.
The best way to teach CAD is to actively build with it.
Fusion Fundamentals guides educators through a series of beginner-friendly projects that introduce core Fusion [360] concepts in a structured, approachable way. Every lesson includes videos, PDFs, classroom guidance, and instructor resources that make implementation easier.
Projects include rockets, rings, emoji designs, mechanical objects, and manufacturing-focused builds that help learners connect CAD tools to real applications.
CAD Class is designed to help you lead with confidence. The curriculum aligns directly with certification standards, so what you teach naturally builds toward what’s assessed. Each project reinforces the skills learners need, making exam preparation part of the learning process rather than a separate effort.
We also support implementation across educational programs, including guidance on certification requirements, testing access, and how to integrate exams into your existing structure. For institutions working at scale, this creates consistency across educators and clearer visibility into outcomes.
Each lesson is designed to reinforce both technical understanding and instructional confidence.
Most CAD resources focus only on software tools. Fusion Fundamentals focuses on teaching CAD in a way learners can actually follow.
The course is organized into progressive modules that build naturally from one concept to the next, helping educators teach with more clarity and less friction.
Start with course setup, curriculum materials, and implementation strategies.
Learn the Fusion [360] workspace, navigation tools, and core CAD fundamentals.
Guide learners through structured projects that introduce revolves, extrusions, dimensions, constraints, fillets, and patterning.
Each project includes review activities, challenges, rubrics, and instructor-focused teaching resources to help reinforce learning outcomes.
This course is designed specifically for educators who want a clear foundation, structured curriculum, and guidance they can trust. Whether you're introducing CAD for the first time or building out an engineering or STEM program, Fusion Fundamentals helps simplify the process.
As a self-paced professional development training, the course allows you to build your skills on your own schedule while gaining practical experience with the same tools and workflows you'll be teaching. Lessons are intentionally paced and supported with instructor materials, helping you feel prepared before leading projects with learners.
This flexible approach makes it easy to fit training into busy schedules while building the confidence needed to teach CAD effectively.

Fusion Fundamentals is designed as a complete instructional
resource, not just a collection of videos.
Educators also gain access to a collaborative network of instructors, mentors, and peers for additional support and guidance on implementation.
Fusion Fundamentals runs on demand, allowing educators to move through the material at their own pace.
Most lessons take between 10–20 minutes to complete, with the full course requiring approximately 16 hours total. This flexible structure makes it easy to integrate training into existing schedules, professional development plans, or program preparation.
You can move quickly through the content or return to it as an ongoing instructional reference throughout the year.
