Great Advanced Training Session!
I had a great, well delivered training session by Dylan Mitchell for the Solidworks Advanced Part Modelling. The course itself showed me new tips, tricks and previously self-taught solidworks tools/features have now been taught to me correctly so I can use them properly. Would highly recommend this course and Dylan as a trainer.

I use Solidworks infrequenty as I design electronics and then I have to make an enclosure for it to sit in out of Sheet metal. The on demand team that help me throuh all that I have forgotten or not learned yet are invaluable to me. Today was no exception as I was up against time (again) in creating a step file that was customer safe. - Enter Dylan. He understood what I needed and got me to the point of sending the model to the customer. - Thank you!!

Tentative and experienced reseller and service
I'm the Design Manager for Wanzl UK. We've been using Visiativ (and previously SolidApps) for many years now.
The price of product attracted our change from a competitor, the service received has kept us happy to renew and tie into longer contracts.
Our Account Manager, Jeremy Ball is personable, knowledgeable, and promptly helpful.
Simon Dass has helped us with the technical side of things from the start. His knowledge of the software, and willingness to understand our specific needs and creating solutions have prevented frustrations and increased productivity greatly.
I would highly recommend this company from my experience.

SolidWorks Essentials Course - USA
Had the pleasure of attending a SolidWorks Essentials training led by Sam Barlow from Visiativ. It was an excellent experience from start to finish. Sam delivered the material in a clear, engaging, and approachable, making the concepts easy to understand. What stood out the most was his ability to tailor our training to our team's specific needs and pace. He was patient, thorough, and always willing to pause to answer questions or demonstrate different approaches until everyone felt confident. Although Sam was based in Liverpool and our team was in Florida, he managed the time difference seamlessly, and the training session ran smoothly without any issues. Highly recommend Sam Barlow and Visiativ to anyone seeking high-quality SolidWorks training.

Great Training Course - DriveWorks
Recently attended a two day course with Adam. The course was very detailed and successful, with the result being a good grasp of not just the tools of the software, but the theory behind the actions. Being provided with a more 1:1 approach to teaching was very appreciated and the guide book was key in the training. Thank you Adam
