You are correct that V5 is getting very popular. It will pretty much be the standard CAD software programme in Aerospace in the next few years so training won't be wasted.
I don't know if you're in United States or over in Europe, but I hear that Airbus UK has said they won't be paying for training their staff. Typical tight-fisted BAe

THANKS.
RE: asking help on catia V5
I think you have to visit IBM-site and ask for CATIA V5, 3 disks for 30 days, for free. Then, go to:
http://catiatutorial.free.fr/index_alpha.html
(in French, but you can understood, I am confident),
then visit:

and go forward!
Good luck

Monitor, traditional CRT, 19 inch minimum. I got a lot of ghosting on a desktop LCD, laptop worked fine. If I recall correctly you need to be on a LAN to do the install., no problem for me as I have a wired LAN at home.
My view of CATIA 5 is that it is a lot easier than 4 to use, all your data remains in one file set no more renaming files etc . . . Almost user friendly.

I ask because I can't find Catia courses in my city, but a couple of companies teach SW, and I'm considering signing up.

There is a big difference between taking a CATIA V5 class and actually being proficient at using CATIA V5. I work for large aerospace company, and we use both CATIA V4 and V5. Personally, I still prefer V4, but I have been using V5 for about 2 years now. It took me about 6 months (8 hours per day) to become proficient with the basic modelling, assembly & surfacing functions. CATIA is a VERY powerful design and analysis tool, and as such, it has literally dozens of application modules. It would take you a lifetime to learn them all.
In a tight labor market, it is doubtful any employer would hire you without at least 1000 hrs experince with a particular CAD software. However, you've got to start somewhere, so good luck with your training and job hunting.
Here's a good CATIA refernce: http://www.coe.org/

I have a friend in mechanical who knows about this book. Check it out! The book is called: "Catia V5 Workbook" by Richard Cozzens. There are different versions, so make sure that you get the correct version for your release of catia. This is a self learning book and it is supposed to be excellent. You can order it through Barnes and Noble online.

So are you saying that if you are enrolled in an approved CATIA course at a college, you can get a one yr seat of V5 for 300 bucks?
RE: asking help on catia V5
I believe CADPO is one of them, however I cannot remember the web address off the top of my head.
