Overview

Autodesk Inventor provides a comprehensive set of 3D mechanical CAD tools for creating production-ready parts and assemblies, and then visualising, simulating and analysing how a design will work under real-world conditions.

This 3-day Inventor Essentials online course, with Armada, provides a comprehensive introduction to the application, teaching you:

  • The fundamental principles behind 3D parametric part and assembly design.
  • The use of the tools and features available in Inventor to create production-ready part and assembly drawings.

Armada is a long-standing Autodesk-authorised Training Centre (ATC), and our Inventor Essentials course is accredited by Autodesk.

Our approach to live online training

You participate in the same course as in-class delegates, and we do everything possible to make your experience as close as possible to actually being in the classroom…

  • Your course is Autodesk-accredited, hosted by an Autodesk Certified Instructor (ACI) with vast experience of using the application professionally.
  • You can see and hear our trainer, the other delegates and our trainer’s screen.
  • Our trainer and the other delegates can see you (via your webcam) and hear you.
  • We’ll post you a printed training guide, and make the course files and resources available for you to download.
  • Your training is hands-on: you’ll practice and carry out exercises throughout.
  • If you're learning to use an application and don’t have access to the software, we’ll send you a link to fully-functional trial software that you can download and install.
  • If you need assistance, you can share your screen with our trainer, and pass control to
  • You’ll receive an e-certificate confirming successful completion of an Autodesk-accredited course.
  • You’re entitled to 30 days’ email support from your trainer.

We also offer this course with in-class attendance, at one of our training centres in Bromsgrove, Bristol, Cardiff, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Sheffield, or Reading.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
