    Default CAD/CAM training/formal learning?

    I've come a fair way with Fusion360 by watching youtubes and screaming at the computer, but want to progress a bit further now. I'm particularly interested in starting to play with moving parts, assemblies in my models.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for more formal (but effective) CAD and CAM training? The youtube way is pretty slow, and I respond quite well to having deadlines like exams!

    I still have education access to the Autodesk suite for another year.

    Online preferable, part time essential. Uni, TAFE, tech, other - all fine as long as it's good quality.

    A friend of mine runs the engineering training at Newcastle TAFE, I’ll ask him.

    Any particular youtube channels that you would recommend for learning Fusion360?

    Lars is probably the best of them. He took a year's break, but he's back at it.

    I’ve also watched and followed along with a lot of Lars YouTube tutorials.

    I now have access to LinkedIn training (used to be Lynda.com) via work.
    I’m not sure of the cost.
    Some of the Fusion 360 courses are excellent, others so so.
    I work on one computer and follow along on another. It’s good because you can pause and go back if you need to.

    Two I enjoyed were:

    Learning Autodesk Fusion 360 (2016) 1hr 41m. It was using Fusion 360 to construct then animate a Theo Jansen model - I really liked that one.

    Fusion 360 Essential Training - 6hr 34 min.

    One related to Woodwork was Autodesk Fusion 360: Designing for wood - 44 min. This was OK? - good info on duplicating components and designing a piece of furniture
