Here's the info if anybody else is interested.

gently caress, now I'm going to sign up. Plus the museum access benefit because I'm a museum nerd (once the pandemic settles down and it's safe to travel again).

Yo, thanks for pointing out the museum benefit! I didn't look into any other perks of the EAA membership other than getting Solidworks. There are some museums on the list I definitely would have paid for in the next year before I knew this.

Are there any recommendations for good Solidworks lessons/courses? I've been using it (and Inventor, plus a few others) for something like 15 years, but mostly as a machinist that occasionally needs to design and make jigs/fixtures/small projects.

I'm looking to improve my workflow, especially with assemblies. A few people have mentioned that the sign of a good designer is being able to change features early in the design tree and not have everything break down the line. I definitely need improvement in that area.

I'm willing to start from the beginning if there is a well-regarded series of courses. Plus, I'm pretty sure I can get my work to pay for it, so cheap isn't a requirement (but would be nice).

This course is a pretty good series.

Waaaaaaaaaay back around Solidworks 2006 I used the then-current version of this book to learn the ins-and-outs of Solidworks.

Cool, thank you. I never would have thought to look at LinkedIn for training material.

Good luck to those of you getting your certs!
