01About the course
What you will learn in CATIA
CATIA is a 3D design system from Dassault Systèmes. Version 5 (V5) is still the most common release in Indian design offices. It is organised into workbenches – Sketcher, Part Design, Assembly Design, Generative Sheetmetal Design, Wireframe and Surface Design, and Drafting – each with its own tools. Engineers use it to build solid parts, assemble products, shape smooth outer surfaces and prepare 2D drawings, all linked through the specification tree.
This page is for learners outside Vellore, Katpadi and Ranipet – NRIs, professionals in the Gulf and other countries, and students elsewhere in India who want CATIA taught live by a trainer.
Basic computer use is needed. Knowledge of engineering drawing and orthographic views will help you follow the sketching and drafting sessions.

CATIA online – FAQ
Still have a question? Message us on WhatsApp.
Ask on WhatsAppCan I learn CATIA online from outside India?
Yes. CATIA is taught live online by a trainer, with the same syllabus, hours and project as the classroom batch. Batches are planned around your time zone, subject to trainer availability.
How many hours is the CATIA course?
CATIA is offered at 2 levels (40–80 h): Essential in CATIA – 40 hours; Proficient in CATIA – 80 hours.
Do I need to buy the software?
We teach; we do not supply software. Use your own licence or an educational or trial licence where the maker offers one. Our Software & Licensing Policy explains the rules.
Can I attend some classes in person in India?
Yes. Hybrid and fully offline options are available at our Vellore, Katpadi and Ranipet centres on dates agreed in advance, depending on trainer and lab availability.
What does it cost?
Fees depend on the level and mode. Message +91 8111 029 125 on WhatsApp for the current fee and payment options for your country.
Will I get a certificate?
On completing the course and its project you receive the CADD Centre network certificate. It is a skill-training certificate, not a degree or a professional licence.
