AutoCAD — Mechanical Design
2D drafting and detailing of mechanical parts and assemblies — the industry-standard starting point.
SolidWorks
3D parametric modelling, assembly design and motion/stress simulation for product design roles.
Creo Parametric
Advanced parametric 3D modelling used heavily in automotive and heavy-machinery design firms.
CATIA
Aerospace and automotive-grade surface modelling and assembly software used by large OEMs.
Mechanical CAD Combo
AutoCAD + SolidWorks + Creo bundled together for the strongest possible design-engineer resume.

03 Why Choose STI for Mechanical CAD Training
Skill Training Institute (STI) is an MSME-registered, ISO-certified institute in Alpha-1, Greater Noida, built around hands-on, job-oriented mechanical design training rather than tutorial-following.
- Licensed software labs: AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Creo Parametric and CATIA are all taught on genuine, licensed installations — not cracked or trial versions.
- Real drawing-sheet & assembly projects: Practice work mirrors what design firms and manufacturing companies actually produce, not generic tutorials.
- Certificate on completion: Each course ends with a certificate you can add to your resume and LinkedIn profile.
- 100% Placement Assist: Resume building, interview preparation and job referrals for mechanical diploma/B.Tech students and working draftsmen.
- Flexible entry points: Start with 2D drafting (AutoCAD) or go straight into a 3D parametric tool (SolidWorks/Creo/CATIA) based on your current skill level.
04 Frequently Asked Questions
Which CAD software should a mechanical engineering student learn first?
Most students start with AutoCAD — Mechanical Design (2 months) to build a strong 2D drafting and dimensioning foundation, then move to a 3D parametric tool such as SolidWorks or Creo Parametric.
What is the duration of each mechanical CAD course at STI?
AutoCAD — Mechanical Design is 2 months. SolidWorks, Creo Parametric and CATIA are each 3 months. The Mechanical CAD Combo (AutoCAD + SolidWorks + Creo Parametric) runs for 6 months.
Is prior CAD experience required to join SolidWorks, Creo Parametric or CATIA?
No prior CAD experience is required. These courses are open to mechanical diploma/B.Tech students and working draftsmen; basic AutoCAD knowledge is helpful but not mandatory.
What does the Mechanical CAD Combo course include?
The 6-month Mechanical CAD Combo bundles AutoCAD, SolidWorks and Creo Parametric into one program, covering 2D drafting through advanced 3D parametric modelling and assembly design.
Does Skill Training Institute provide placement assistance after these courses?
Yes. Skill Training Institute (STI) is an MSME-registered, ISO-certified institute offering 100% Placement Assist to students after course completion.
Are the mechanical CAD/CAM courses conducted on licensed software?
Yes, all mechanical CAD/CAM courses at STI run on licensed software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Creo Parametric, CATIA) in on-campus labs at Alpha-1, Greater Noida, using real drawing-sheet and assembly-design projects.
