Counselling and the demo class are free. Come to the Hoshiarpur centre in Model Town or join live online, in a morning, evening or weekend batch.
Built backwards from what employers ask for and updated as the software changes.
You spend more time doing than watching. Every concept is practised on the software itself.
Small batches, direct access to your trainer, and reviews on the work you produce.
The same software, at current versions, that design offices, agencies and workshops use.
Mock rounds, portfolio review and the questions this particular role gets asked.
The programme ends with work you can show and a plan for the roles you are targeting.

Counselling & demo class
Every trainer here has done the work they teach. That is the whole basis of the teaching: answers come from current practice rather than from a slide deck written three years ago.
Sessions are run by people who have worked in the field, so the examples come from real drawings, real campaigns and real jobs.
You build as you learn. Each module ends in something that runs, not in a quiz.
Small batches mean your mentor knows what you are stuck on and what you are aiming at.
Doubt sessions and mentor hours carry on after the certificate is printed.
The course is built for learners arriving from different starting points.
No prior experience needed — the first modules start from fundamentals.
Fits alongside a degree, with weekend and evening batches covering the same syllabus.
Build the portfolio and interview practice that a first role actually asks for.
Weekend batches and 1-on-1 mentoring for people training without taking leave.
Skills you can bill for, plus the delivery habits clients expect.

The stack you work with in class and in the live projects.
Finishing SolidCAM puts three separate documents in your file — each one for a different part of what you did.
Awarded when you complete the SolidCAM programme. Where the track has a recognised vendor exam, we prepare you for that as well.
For the live project you build during SolidCAM, naming the work and the tools you used — so the project on your CV is backed by paper, not just claimed.
Take your training as a university internship and you finish with an internship letter covering your weeks on a project team.

How the paper is used
The roles SolidCAM prepares you for, and the kinds of employers who use these skills. Outcomes depend on your own work and the market — we prepare you for interviews, we do not promise a job or a number.
Placement support comes with every course — portfolio review, mock interviews and guidance on where to apply.
Talk about placementsMost SolidCAM courses cover a similar syllabus. What separates them is what you build while you are there, and what happens after the last session.
At techcadd: Every module ends in built work, and the course finishes with a portfolio project that goes through review.
At most places: Varies — worth asking whether you finish with work you can show.
At techcadd: A completion certificate when you finish the course.
At most places: Varies from course to course.

What the call covers
Counselling and the demo class are both free.
