Autodesk Training
3ds Max, Inventor, Fusion & AutoCAD training from a 30-year Autodesk Certified Instructor
Hands-on Autodesk software training for studios, engineering teams, and individuals. Taught by Steven Schain, one of the original 16 Autodesk (then Kinetix) Training Specialists worldwide and a co-developer of the Autodesk Certified Instructor program.
How It Works
Training runs on-site for studios and teams, live online for individuals or remote teams, or privately one-on-one.
Sessions are built around your software, your version, and your actual project work, not a generic curriculum.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions, plain answers.
Do you teach beginners, or only experienced users?
Both. Sessions are built around where you're starting from, whether that's a first-time user learning the interface or an experienced user picking up a new workflow, a new release, or a new module.
Do you offer Autodesk Certified User or Certified Professional exam prep?
Yes. Steven co-developed the Autodesk Certified Instructor program and 3ds Max's fundamental training standards, and can build a session specifically around certification exam objectives.
Is training available on-site, or only virtual?
Both. Training runs on-site for studios and teams, live online for individuals or remote teams, and privately one-on-one.
Which Autodesk software and versions do you cover?
3ds Max, Inventor, Fusion, and AutoCAD, across current and recent releases. Sessions can also cover cross-application workflows, such as moving a model from Inventor into 3ds Max for visualization.
How is this different from an Autodesk Authorized Training Center?
An Authorized Training Center is an organization. Steven is an individual Autodesk Certified Instructor, one of the original 16 Autodesk (then Kinetix) Training Specialists worldwide, and a co-developer of the ACI program itself, bringing that same instructional standard directly to your team or studio.
