 Great Product!!! Refreshing approach to instruction! September 11, 2008

What a great surprise! Of all the Solidworks training products out there this one is the best for the price. All the other products I have seen are just mediocre and seem to be very cheaply done and poorly structured. There is one other product out there I had heard of and seen sample videos that seemed comparable to this product but it was worth three times the amount of money! Of course the narration of the videos is not done by a professional narrator, but I would be willing to make that slight sacrifice again. It was unbelievable to me to ask a question and need support and get a response from the author himself! I was very impressed by the structure that the videos were laid out in. I would explain the instruction as whole to part. Most training I have seen gives the learner small chunks of info and skills and eventually allows them to see the whole. This product was different because it took the opposite approach. It was very refreshing and I would buy more products from this producer.
Buy this! August 28, 2008

I bought this because I needed to learn SolidWorks in order to be more productive at my job. I was REALLY worried, because I've tried to learn other CAD programs, and it just didn't make sense.
After watching the first few chapters of this tutorial, I get it. Like that, "snap"! SolidWorks not only makes sense to me, I'm actually excited about using it! In addition to instructing the user on how to use the program, the tutorials also discuss problems or glitches the program has, and problems you may come across as you're building your component that may keep you from being successful.
I can't say enough how happy I am that I bought this. Don't hesitate, I promise you will be satisfied.
Best Product in SOLIDWORKS area August 4, 2008

Hello,
3 months ago, I was very anti-SolidWorks for a number of reasons. I purchased this DVD out of complete frustration with the dozens of books I have used in an effort to be a better instructor myself. I have two shelves of "failures" sitting here in the corner of my office. Each one does some "one thing best" without really doing everything. I can very honestly say that endless graduate assistants have been frustrated with the learning curve for Solidworks.
So, I bought the Inspiritech video not actually expecting much and it has been by far the most pleasant surprise of the summer. It gives a well balanced and paced introduction to basic, intermediate and advanced topics. There is no single thing an instructor can do to improve themselves better than buying this DVD and working your way through the instruction. You will be a much better user and instructor.
I am actively seeking funding to purchase enough copies to outfit an engineering laboratory including the actual Solidworks software (we have limited seats).
This is a great, great product. I forgot to mention that the technical support is the BEST I"VE SEEN IN MY LIFETIME. When I get stuck, I simply fired off a question and got a detailed answer in less than 24 hours from the instructor himself.
In all fairness, most of my questions were stupid because I was rushing through too many things in the day/week and hadn't really "heard" the lesson correctly. Yet the authors patiently answer anyway...
I recommend this product without reservation.

Randy,
I find it very interesting that would you take the time to write the same negative review on both Inspirtech products. I have search the Data base of ALL sales from Every source and you name does not appear once. From whom did you pirate the Product?
Inspirtech's DVD's have shipped world wide with out issue, they have passed SolidWorks certification and have received MANY extremely positive reviews from multiple sources.
What I can say in regards to the support at Inspirtech is that we go above and beyond what is required to insure costumer satisfaction. All concerns that have been resolved promptly leaving buyers happy with their purchase.
Bellow you can find examples of some other reviews submitted to Inspirtech:
"I just finished the SW fundamentals DVD, Very thorough and very clear...answered a lot of questions. Best of all, I can watch it any time I want !! "

I received a copy of this product, and I now understand why one of their own employees wrote a positive five star review for the product. They would be the ONLY ones.
The produce description states, "Lessons at Inspirtech are delivered in a unique hybrid approach to highlight the advantages of both download and streaming lesson formats" For people that do not have access to a high speed fiber connection, forget the streaming lesson format!
Their description also states, "For users who wish to access training on the go a DVD-Rom Edition is also available." I've had nothing but trouble running the DVD edition on my laptop with Visa or my desktop with Windows Professional XP SP2.1. What does it run on?
I'm looking for something that is quick, easy and informative to learn all aspects of SolidWorks and its many tools in a DVD form. I'm still looking...
