Training

[Columbo™]

I am looking for some pros and cons for the following three...

 

Anyone ever use them??

 

Mastercam U

 

Eapprentice

 

Streamingteacher

 

Thanks...

 

 

The company wants to set something up with one of these.

I believe everyone offers some sample videos to view. Take a look at how complete each video is, is the site easy to use and navigate, video stream speed, etc. (a BIG one is how does the "search" work for a desired topic).

 

I'm one of the developers for Streamingteacher, and can tell you we've had full courseware since version 9 and have a well-refined system for both content and functionality. Not just a few lessons here and there, but just about every feature through Mill 3 and lathe (m/t coming soon). We stay current with every release, working on the new (and changed) features during beta cycles so we can have fresh and current training the day cnc releases a new version. We also are accredited through our community college, so you can earn real college credit, (which is a big plus for employers paying for it). The main contributors (myself included) are full-time Mastercam & machining college instructors.

 

Feel free to email me with any questions.

To me the best form of training is ALWAYS live.

 

In front of a teacher that can answer questions, show examples and take you through a real world issue right in front of you.

John,

 

I agree 100%...

 

The problem is the boss wants us to pick one of the three mentioned. So I was tasked to pick one.

I would like to know if any of you instructors can tell me if there are any schools in the central PA. area that offer Mastercam courses? I would be looking for a school near Harrisburg PA., or possibly near Harrisonburg VA.

Mastercam's website lists these guys as their Educational Mastercam dealer in Virginia.

If anyone knows which community colleges have Mastercam courses, they will

Any decisions Columbo?

 

Try this- get a few day free trial subscription from your prospective candidates. Pick a topic, whatever, say hst pencil or dynamic core. Perform a search and see how long it takes to find what your after. Watch each. Make a decision.

Columbo. I am with Chris.. if you want a trial of Eapprentice let me know but I would look at all three for a day or so.

The con for all of those is that they are a subscription service. They all expire.

Consider this... http://www.tipsformanufacturing.com

You buy'em, You own'em, They never expire.
