All round great experience

Booking the course and the communication was well organised, I just had to turn up on the day. The trainer Stewart was very knowledgedable and was able to refer the Revit software back to AutoCAD which I currently use. All round great experience

Well paced with excellent structure…

I took the AutoCAD Essentials course to refresh my skills after a break. The training was excellent and well-paced, and I finished confident in using AutoCAD at a good level of proficiency. I highly recommend this course to both new users and those returning to the software.

Fusion Essentials Training

The 3 day course provided by Armada was fantastic. We managed to cram in a lot of information during the short amount of time we had. Our trainer, John, was clearly very enthusiastic about what he does and was keen to share as much information with us as he could.
I feel as though I now have all the necessary building blocks to make some really good headway with learning Fusion and I look forward to attending more courses from Armada in the future. Would definitely recommend.

Attended the online Civils 3D…

Attended the online Civils 3D Essentials Course and thoroughly enjoyed the course. The course was very detailed and covered a lot of the main functions of the software. The course was delivered brilliantly by Stewart who always made sure to invite questions throughout the training and also showed a variety of helpful wider general tips and tricks for all pieces of AutoDesk software. I now feel much more confident in utilising Civils 3D and would definitely recommend the course for anyone looking to utilise the software.

Inventor Essentials

Great instructor, with years of real world software experience. They explained their own work processes gained from 1000s of hours of experience to make the learning as efficient and relatable to real life usage as possible. The instructor was well paced and patient throughout, showing "hacks" to overcome common problems as they occurred. I would 100% recommend Armada for your training needs.

3D Auto CAD Review w.c 19th Jan

From start to finish I was made to feel very welcome and the training was first class, I only wish I could have had longer, but the two day course (3D CAD) certainly provided me with the information I needed to progress my skill level and apply it to the industry I work in. Working with Carl the Tutor was a real pleasure and would recommend the course to anyone looking to learn about this fantastic software. Paul EH Smith Architectural Solutions

AutoCAD 3D course

This was the third course I did with Armada in 2025. I have put off learning AutoCAD 3D for years, I now regret that as it's easier than I thought. My instructor, Andy was a wealth of knowledge, patient and understanding of the attendee's different level of skills. Armada provides excellent tuition; they're the only learning provider I trust with CAD training having used other providers in the past.

Learning and advancing my knowledge

this was a great experience due to the dedication of the training staff. My knowledge of this subject and my I T skills are very limited, which for me taking a course of this kind very daunting. the training staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, I finished the course feeling very confident in what I learnt, I've already started to out into practice the training I've had at work and I'm very confident that I will expand my knowledge further. as I start to use these skills on a day today basis.

Highly recommend ARMADA

I can highly recommend ARMADA Training Solutions for their well-prepared training, which is full of practical knowledge (which you hardly find on YT). All sessions were held in a kind and helpful atmosphere.
Rating for Fusion Essentials and Fusion CAM & CNC, both online training:
Value to knowledge gained 6/5,
Atmosphere 5/5,
Organised 5/5.
Special thanks to Carl Portman :)
