NX for Design Engineer course — FAQ

What is Siemens NX used for?

Siemens NX is a high-end CAD/CAM/CAE system used to design products, build assemblies, create drawings and prepare models for manufacturing. It is widely used in automotive, aerospace and tooling industries.

Is NX the same as Unigraphics?

Yes, NX grew out of Unigraphics, and many people still search for it as Unigraphics or UG NX. Today it is developed by Siemens Digital Industries Software.

Who can join the NX for Design Engineer course?

Mechanical, automobile and aerospace students and working engineers can join. Engineering drawing knowledge is useful; earlier CAD experience is not compulsory.

How long is the NX for Design Engineer course?

The course runs for 60 hours of trainer-led practice on modelling, assemblies and drafting.

Can I learn Siemens NX online?

Both are available. In live online NX for Design Engineer classes the trainer works through each model with you in real time on your own PC, and classroom batches at CADD centres follow the same plan.

Do I get a certificate after NX training?

Every student who completes the NX for Design Engineer course gets a CADD Training Centre certificate. An automotive or aerospace supplier can verify it online with the printed QR code or verification code.

What jobs can I get with Siemens NX skills?

NX skills support roles such as design engineer, CAD engineer, product development engineer and tool design engineer in automotive, aerospace and component companies. Career guidance and placement support are included.
