CATIA V5 Web-based Learning Solutions (WLS) is an easy-to-use learning and support system. It provides all the required information and training in one source for maximum assured productivity of the user community.

Main Features

Continuous learning

The CATIA Web based Learning Solutions (WLS) offers just-in-time training and information, right at the user's desktop, minimizing the requirement for standard instructor led classes.

Easy deployment

Combining Internet/Intranet standards and client/server architecture, the CATIA Web based Learning Solutions is very easily deployed and administered within a company and may also be installed as stand alone.

From short learning sessions ("skillets") to full courses

All CATIA users, from occasional to expert, can benefit from the WLS products whether to learn just one new skill at a time with the 20 minutes "skillet" approach (i.e. the skill learning applet) or a whole new workbench with the course approach.

Open for company customization

Thanks to the WLS product called Companion Development Studio, companies can customize the standard WLS products by changing or adding their own exercises for example or even developing their own courses focusing on their specific methodologies.

Get the benefits of CATIA products in your own language

Each product of the Web based Learning Solutions (WLS) includes the User Companion Desktop that is required to display the learning resources (see more details). Each WLS product gives access to a given set of courses corresponding to a common CATIA configuration.
