Shane Kenyon
An extremely well thought out but fast-paced course to bring you up to creating any parts you can imagine in CATIA. Being able to design alongside an F1 Engineer, have thorough technical discussions, and having a group to improve with made this course so incredibly worth it. I am not sure of anywhere else where you can get this level of training and exposure that is so specific... not to mention the CATIA license.
Dino Wu
Dan's teaching approach greatly enhanced how I think about surface modelling. Before this course, I tended to build as I went along, but Dan emphasised planning the structure beforehand - understanding what elements you'll need and how they'll connect. This mindset shift has been invaluable.
He taught techniques through practical examples that create more stable models. His focus on understanding how models are constructed proved especially useful when modifying work created by others.
Dan was consistently helpful with projects, always available to discuss approaches. His willingness to engage in detailed discussions made the learning process effective.
Yousef Loughrey
Having never learned CAD before, the CAD CAP course was perfect for me to learn and develop my skills as a hopeful engineer working in motorsport. The instructor was a great instructor who taught us not only the best methods and techniques when working in CATIA but also great insights and career advice for us looking to work in the motorsport industry, which ultimately helped me land my dream placement at Visa Cash App RB (Formerly AlphaTauri).
Aleix Sans
This course has been an excellent experience from start to finish. The content is highly practical and strongly focused on real-world applications, particularly through the analysis of Formula 1 aerodynamic components and understanding how they are designed. One of the most valuable aspects for me was learning how to break down complex parts, identify their key elements, and then design them from scratch.
