SolidWorks Training
I have been working with Hawk Ridge Systems for over 15 years. I received my initial SolidWorks training from them. When hired by Intralase, I changed the company from their existing VAR to Hawk Ridge. I have yet to find a VAR that can compete with them in service, knowledge of SolidWorks or any other Dassault application. I have yet to be disappointed when dealing with them.
