stevsmith Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I am looking to learn Inventor, but the problem is, I'm not a student at any college. Where can I get a student edition for self learning. I have used inventor several years ago, but now I would like to expand my learning experiance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I think you would only qualify for the 30-day trial version. I hope you are a fast learner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I see you are in Scotland and I'm across the pond. In my home state we have a series of what are called "Community Colleges". These rank below the large state university (UCONN) and also below the mid-tier colleges like Central Connecticut State College. What's nice is they are relatively cheap by comparison. When I last attended a community college the school was offering a mechanical CAD drafting course using Inventor. Students could purchase 1 year licenses at vastly reduced prices or could opt to use the computer lab where the same software was available at no additional cost. The course cost less than $400 (U.S.). Does anything like this exist in Glascow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Sneak back into grade school where kids as young as 11 are learning Inventor. Look at this: http://www.gla.ac.uk/faculties/education/facilitiesandservices/products/autodeskinventor/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevsmith Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hello Mark, There is something similar to what you have described. I contacted my local college to discuss an Inventor course, but they only do Solidworks. There is an open learning course available at motherwell college. This is where I done my CADD course. but it is 50miles from where I live and we dont have long straight roads like you do over the pond =). I might give my old lecturer a phone and try to "brass" it.
