This course is for beginners and new users of Autodesk Fusion, as well as those with a small amount of experience using the software.

Delegates should have a working knowledge of Windows and must have access to a Windows PC to use throughout the course.

No prior Fusion 360 or 3D modelling knowledge is required.

Experience using a CAD application, such as AutoCAD, is beneficial but not essential.

A stable internet connection, and a webcam are essential.
