Complicated subject delivered in an easy and understand manner
Adam delivered the DriveWorks Essentials course in an easy to understand manner and was very patient as I worked my way through the provided supplement booklet, answering any questions I had as I progressed.
I would highly recommend Adam & Visiativ for anyone looking for training in DriveWorks and I am eager to continue with the Advanced course with them also.

Solidworks Composer Training by Alex
Alex was very enthusiastic and helped in showing me how the Composer software was operated, clearly and concisely. Furthermore he also worked with me on my modular flat pack building system to put a build sequence together, thereby giving me a good understanding of how to continue with the software myself.

Solidworks Server and Endpoints upgrade…
We had a SolidWorks' Server and Endpoints upgrade for 10 devices/9 users. Alex and Adam turned up sharp and very quickly got the ball rolling.
The full upgrade of the server and endpoints was completed in under 5 hours.
tested the upgrade and we were happy with the result.
they are very professional and prompt when calling though for support in general but today just felt like a great example of how good these guys are.
Keep up the good work!!!

Hi Gareth,
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a positive review.
We’re delighted to hear that the SOLIDWORKS Server and Endpoints upgrade went smoothly and was completed efficiently. It’s great to know that Alex and Adam made a strong impression with their professionalism and prompt approach, and that you were happy with the testing and final outcome.
Between them, Alex and Adam bring just under four decades of SOLIDWORKS experience, so it’s particularly rewarding to see that expertise reflected in the quality and efficiency of the work delivered.
Your feedback about our support is greatly appreciated and will be shared with the wider team. Comments like yours really do reinforce the high standards we strive to deliver every day.

Great Advanced Training Session!
I had a great, well delivered training session by Dylan Mitchell for the Solidworks Advanced Part Modelling. The course itself showed me new tips, tricks and previously self-taught solidworks tools/features have now been taught to me correctly so I can use them properly. Would highly recommend this course and Dylan as a trainer.
