Arcos Treinamentos

What Arcos Treinamentos does

Arcos Treinamentos is the training division of Arcos Projetos, a Brazilian private firm based in Teresina (Piauí) with operations reaching Rio de Janeiro. The company offers self-paced online SolidWorks CAD training aimed at individuals seeking to become professional projetistas (mechanical drafters/designers). It sells three progressive course tiers — Formação Essencial (30 hours), Formação Avançada (40 hours), and Formação Completa (70 hours, which bundles the prior two) — covering everything from parametric modeling fundamentals to complex assemblies, kinematic analysis, BOM detailing, tolerances, and full project documentation cycles. Curriculum is anchored on two real-world case studies (Articulated Lamp and Ratchet Wrench) and integrates methodologies such as Design Thinking, DFX, Design for Function, and project intent, positioning the offering as professional formation rather than generic software training. Students require SolidWorks 2020 or newer and can use student, trial, or licensed versions.

Core offering

Arcos Treinamentos sells self-paced online training courses that teach individuals to become professional SolidWorks designers (projetistas). The courses combine CAD software instruction with industry project methodologies such as Design Thinking, DFX, and Design for Function, delivered through real-world case studies like an Articulated Lamp and a Ratchet Wrench. Students complete full project cycles from concept to technical documentation, building a professional portfolio along the way.

Product overview

Arcos Treinamentos is a training company offering a unified portfolio of three SolidWorks-based designer formation programs: Formação Essencial (30h), Formação Avançada (40h), and Formação Completa (70h). The three courses are structured progressively — Essential covers project fundamentals and basic SolidWorks tools; Advanced addresses complex problem-solving and advanced features; Completa combines both for complete professional designer preparation. All courses emphasize practical methodology over software commands, using real-world case studies like Articulated Lamp and Ratchet Wrench projects.

Broad incumbents

• Udemy: Large online course marketplace with extensive SolidWorks and CAD catalog — competes on price and breadth; potential threat to Arcos's premium, methodology-led positioning if learners default to lowest-cost options.
• Coursera: Global MOOC platform that hosts multiple SolidWorks and CAD courses — competes indirectly on price and convenience for individual learners, though courses tend to be tool-focused rather than methodology-focused.
• Dassault Systèmes (SolidWorks Education): Parent company of SolidWorks, offering its own certification, learning content and student programs — overlaps with Arcos's SolidWorks curriculum as part of a much broader portfolio of design and engineering tools.
• Pluralsight: Enterprise-focused tech skill development platform with CAD and engineering content; comparable in targeting professionals but at much broader technical scope.
• LinkedIn Learning: Professional development platform offering CAD and design courses; competes on bundling with LinkedIn career services — overlaps with Arcos's career-outcome value proposition.

Direct peers

• GoEngineer: SolidWorks Value Added Reseller that bundles training with software sales; directly comparable in serving customers learning professional SolidWorks use, though primarily U.S.-based.
• Fisher Unitech: U.S.-based SolidWorks VAR providing training, certification and consulting services — comparable in business model of pairing SolidWorks training with professional practice, though at much larger scale.
• SolidProfessor: Online training platform specializing in SolidWorks and CAD instruction with structured learning paths — directly comparable in product offering (SolidWorks-centric, self-paced) though serving a global rather than Brazilian audience.
• CADLearning (by ASCENT): Self-paced CAD training content publisher focused on professional design tools including SolidWorks — directly comparable in self-paced, project-oriented learning format.

Emerging players

• Hackster.io / Autodesk Fusion training ecosystem: Autodesk offers competing CAD training (Fusion 360, Inventor) that could pull students away from SolidWorks-centric curricula — relevant as an adjacent emerging threat shaping the broader CAD training market Arcos addresses.
