Hi folks,

Thanks,

Peterguy,
Thank you very much. I heard from a CATIA user friend that RAND is a good training company. Have you heard of it?

A Star for you sir!

Best,

I do know of Rand, they became transcat in the UK. Their training should be OK. But have had poor training from small companies and large blue chip organisations if you can get to talk to the trainer it is very helpful in assessing wether they know what they are on about. There is nothing worse or depressing than someone who just reads the slides to you (we can read it alot faster than they can say it) and does not or is not able to put what they are talking about into a context/ provide examples of why you should do something and is able to expand the details.

I have had training from Rand in the past and I will continue to use them in the future. My Dassault business partner does a fantastic job as a VAR but does not have the training resources to fit my schedule.
