Teaching CAD becomes much easier when your curriculum is already built.
Onshape Fundamentals combines guided video instruction, project-based learning, downloadable resources, and lesson plans into one complete teaching experience. Every lesson is designed to help you introduce new concepts clearly while giving learners opportunities to apply what they've learned through hands-on projects.

Each project is supported with videos, PDFs, and teaching materials that help simplify lesson preparation.
Every lesson builds naturally on the one before it, making it easier for both educators and learners to stay on track.
The course combines instructional videos, guided projects, downloadable books, and lesson plans into a structured sequence that removes the guesswork from teaching CAD. Rather than introducing isolated tools, learners develop practical skills through projects that reinforce key concepts as they progress.
You'll also have resources that help reinforce learning, support discussions, and keep your program organized throughout the course.

Co-Founder of CAD Class | Mechanical Engineer | CAD & Fabrication Instructor
Jake Sugden has spent years teaching CAD, engineering, fabrication, and digital manufacturing through makerspaces, workshops, and educational programs. Thousands of learners have benefited from the same teaching methods and project-based approach that shape every CAD Class course.
His goal is simple: help educators feel confident teaching technical skills through practical, engaging instruction.
Great CAD programs aren't built on disconnected tutorials.
They're built on structured curriculum, engaging projects, and resources that make teaching easier.
CAD Class brings those pieces together so educators can spend less time planning and more time helping learners succeed.
What Sets CAD Class Apart
The result is a teaching experience that's more organized, more engaging, and easier to deliver.
