Autodesk Advance Steel training - live online training

Advance Steel training for new users, teaching the key functionality, tools, commands and workflows available in Autodesk Advance Steel for designing 3D steel structures and models.

Working on a sample model being built from the ground up, you’ll learn how to use Advance Steel to create beams, columns, plates, and connection elements such as bolts, holes and welds. You’ll also learn how to produce Bills of Materials, schedules and drawings for your model.

The Armada approach to Online training

When you attend our Live Online Training with Armada, you’re participating in a real Autodesk-authorised course, hosted by a real trainer, in real time.

You can:

• See and hear our trainer and other virtual delegates participating in the training.
• Allow our trainer and the other virtual delegates to see and hear you (if you have a webcam, and you’re agreeable).
• Interact by speaking, using chat, or raising your ‘virtual hand’ if you need assistance.
• Share your screen with our trainer to show them what you’re seeing.

Your experience will be as close as is possible to actually being in the classroom…

• The training will follow the same syllabus, and will be hosted by the same Autodesk Certified Instructors (ACIs), as our classroom-based courses.
• We’ll post you a training guide, and send you all the information you need to participate in the training. We’ll even post you a headset and microphone if you need one.
• You’ll carry out exercises using the software you’re being trained in, assisted by our trainer. If you don’t have access to the software, we’ll send you a link to fully-functional trial software that you can download and install.
• You'll receive an e-certificate directly from Autodesk confirming successful completion of an accredited course. Click here to see a sample of the certificate you receive.
• You’ll be entitled to 30 days’ email support from your trainer.

Advance Steel training is hands-on and practical.

Our trainers teach the necessary theory then demonstrate techniques step-by-step. You then practice the techniques taught on a computer running licensed Advance Steel software.

There’s plenty of time to ask questions, and you can take away all the files you create.

This course is for anyone who wants to start designing designing 3D steel structures using the Autodesk Advance Steel application.

Delegates must have basic CAD skills.

Delegates must have a computer with a stable internet connection and a webcam for the training. Advance Steel must be installed on the computer. If you need to install this, we can provide details of free trial software to download for the training.
