SolidCAM 2.5D Training
The man was nice enough but due to technical errors and having to rush and quickly go over certain areas it left us with a underwhelming experience.

Very knowledgeable, they totally understood what they were doing, they got everything across in a way that people could understand and I left feeling that I could go away and do this myself.

lagging remote sessions
rushed sessions (caused by varying levels of skills and prep from other party's and really laggy remote sessions (your end)

it took about 10secs for a dialogue box to open and the same for it to close also rotating the models was almost impossible. made it really difficult to keep pace

Paul, is very clear and helpful.
SolidCAM 2.5D Training
Paul was excellent very knowledgeable on the software as well as machining as whole. Quick to deal with issues we were having an went above an beyond the scope of the course helping people with problems in there own workplaces. While he followed the course in the book he did it in such away where it didn't feel like we where turning the page to see what to do next. All in all a very good teacher who id love to teach future courses.
SolidCAM 2.5D Training
Course information was delivered well, Easily understood.
SolidCAM 2.5D Training
The course was structured but also fluid enough to feel you could express your own way of completing a job. Any questions, whether about the material or questions about advanced areas were answered with no issues. Paul made it very enjoyable, hopefully I will have him again in the future!

The course was really interesting, lots of information to take in. The patience of the trainer was good to explain and help with any situations. would of liked the course to be slightly longer as we didn't have time to do much 5-axis training
SolidCAM (CNC) 2.5 Training
GREAT COURSE. WELL EXPLAINED
SolidCAM (CNC) 2.5 Training
The ability to discuss user specific topics without holding up the course.
SolidCAM (CNC) 2.5 Training
I enjoyed the course and my two trainers were very good at steering us through both the basics and then onto more relevant examples.
For the first 2 two days we were with Ethan (2.5D Milling) - he went through the basis concisely and did a good job. On the third day we changed to Steve (HSS) - he was obviously more experienced and could talk to us on a more industry practical solutions.
SolidCAM (CNC) 2.5 Training
The Trainers were very good, but the 2.5D course seems to be based on a manual that is out of date, which means the improvements made to the system are not covered in enough detail.
SolidCAM (CNC) 2.5 Training
The course was delivered at break neck speed instead of taking a more organic approach and listening to the customers needs and taking into account the differing abilities of the students.
Our instructor was very informative, proffesional and approachable but the first day was all about getting through the whole 3d drawing package, being a novice I was lost after a couple of hours.
This was also the case when I attended a week long course several years ago, it was a complete waste of my time and our companies money, I came away with absolutely nothing even after makning it clear to the instructor that I was lost, she was too intent on completeing working through the course booklet than helping me to learn.
The second was more helpful because we were in the workshop environment and stuck in a classroom.
Feedback Response: Hello. Thank you for the feedback on both courses. We do spend considerable time ensuring that the information on our website and course confirmation emails are relevant and up to date, therefore I hope that we have described the course descriptions and agenda accurately so that it is clear what will be covered on a course before attending. It would seem that you had quite a different experience to one of your colleagues on this same course. He does suggest that some topics were covered a couple of times before moving on but perhaps this wasn’t enough for the whole group. We are committed to providing a high level of training on all our courses and will endeavour to implement improvements where possible. Kind regards – Julie Weir | Training Manager
SolidCAM (CNC) 2.5 Training
The course was delivered at a breakneck speed. As with my experience with other solidsolutions courses. It was clearly aimed at the fastest person in the group not the slowest. I gave up trying to keep up in the end. Didn't really gain anything from it. Waste of time and money tbh. This was the same as with a previous Solid works course. So glad I didn't have to pay for the course myself.
Feedback Response: Hello. Thanks for writing this review and for your time on the phone. Your training experience is very different to that of your colleagues below after having attended the same course. After having spoken with you both, it was nice to hear that you both found the instructor to be knowledgeable and friendly. We always aim to work to the speed of the slowest person in the class while ensuring that everyone in the class benefits from attending and takes something away. This is a requirement which the instructor must balance and it is important that we get attendee feedback in order to get this right. I am sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy the training and we will work to improve our service to you moving forward. Kind regards – Julie Weir | Training Manager
SolidCAM (CNC) 2.5 Training
Unbelievable knowledge of SolidCAM, Solidworks and beyond. If I didn't understand something, Stephen was happy to stop and take the time to go back over the topic until I was happy, we would then move on. All topics were explained really well. I thoroughly enjoyed the course thanks to Stephen.
SolidCAM (CNC) 2.5 Training
The software is good but very intuitive - I felt the material can be covered in a much shorter period of time and condensed into fewer sessions.

Also not a great food selection for lunch, sandwiches are fine but cold food that is typically served warm is not great. M&S do great lunch platter selections
SolidCAM (CNC) 2.5 Training
