Go From Unemployable Graduate to Industry-Ready Engineer in Just 14 Days
Let me tell you about Emeka.
Graduated top of his class. Mechanical Engineering. 4.7 CGPA. Awards. Recommendations from professors.A CV that would make any parent proud.
He applied to 47 companies.
Got 3 interviews.
Failed all 3.
Why?
At the third interview (a manufacturing company in Lagos), the hiring manager gave him a simple task:
“We need someone who can hit the ground running. Here’s a bracket we use in our production line. Model it for us in SolidWorks. Show us how you’d approach designing it.”
Emeka nodded confidently. He’d used SolidWorks in school. He’d passed his CAD course with a B.
Emeka opened SolidWorks. Stared at the screen. Started clicking random buttons.
15 minutes later, he had… nothing. No sketch. No proper dimensions. No understanding of where to even begin or why.
Just a confused student pretending to be an engineer.
The hiring manager stopped him:
“Thank you for your time. We’ll be in touch.”
They never called.
This is happening to thousands of Nigerian engineering graduates right now.
But when someone says “design this,” you freeze.
The System Failed You (But You’re Paying the Price)
Nigerian universities are built on a 40-year-old model
This problem compounds.
Year 2, the gap widens.
Year 3, it becomes a chasm.
Year 5, you’re in a completely different life trajectory.
The question is: How much longer will you wait?
Nigerian engineers have a certification addiction.
Can’t get a job? Get another certificate.
Failed an interview? Take another course.
Still unemployed? Add more lines to your CV.
I see CVs with 15+ certificates. All theoretical. All worthless without practical demonstration.
Employers don’t care about certificates. They care about what you can DO.
Can you design this part? Can you create technical drawings? Can you show me a portfolio?
More certificates ≠ More employable
More skills + Portfolio = Employed
Look at ANY engineering job posting right now. Go ahead. Check LinkedIn Jobs for “Mechanical Engineer Nigeria.”
I’ll wait.
What do you see?
CAD skills appear in 87% of mechanical engineering job postings.
Yet most graduates don’t have them at a professional level.
This isn’t “nice to have.” This is “must have or don’t bother applying.”
Yes, you can learn SolidWorks BUTTONS from YouTube.
No, you cannot learn PROFESSIONAL DESIGN PROCESS from random tutorials.
Here’s what happens with YouTube learning:
Week 1: Watch 20 tutorials. Feel overwhelmed. Try to follow along. Get confused.
Week 2: Download some practice files. Model some random parts. No context. No purpose.
Week 3: Give up. “This is too hard.” “I’m not good at this.” Back to job searching.
Completion rate for self-taught CAD: Less than 5%
Why? Because:
Nigerian engineers have a certification addiction.
Can’t get a job? Get another certificate.
Failed an interview? Take another course.
Still unemployed? Add more lines to your CV.
I see CVs with 15+ certificates. All theoretical. All worthless without practical demonstration.
Employers don’t care about certificates. They care about what you can DO.
Can you design this part? Can you create technical drawings? Can you show me a portfolio?
More certificates ≠ More employable
More skills + Portfolio = Employed
YouTube teaches software. Not employability.
There’s a massive difference.
This isn’t fantasy.
This is exactly what CAD Mastery delivers.
And I can prove it with 200+ student transformations.
Everything in CAD Mastery is built around one proven methodology:
This is the exact process I use at BUA Cement to design equipment worth millions of naira.
This is what professionals at Dangote, Shell, TotalEnergies, and every major engineering company use.
This is what separates ₦400,000/month engineers from unemployed graduates.
Here’s how it works:
What most people do:
Open SolidWorks immediately. Start clicking randomly. Hope something works.
What professionals do:
Stop. Think. Define the problem. Research. Establish requirements.
Before touching CAD, answer:
Time invested: 15-20% of project
Time saved later: 40-50%
This is design thinking. This is what employers value.
What most people do:
Skip sketching entirely. “I’ll just model it.”
What professionals do:
Sketch by hand BEFORE modeling.
Why Sketching matters
One of my students said:
“I used to spend 3 hours modeling, realize it doesn’t work, start over. Now I spend 20 minutes sketching, catch problems immediately, model in 45 minutes.”
The 20-minute sketch saves 2+ hours of CAD frustration.
Professional designers spend 30% of design time sketching.
Students spend 0% and wonder why they struggle.
What most people do:
Add dimensions randomly in CAD. “This looks about right.”
What professionals do:
Define precise dimensions BEFORE modeling based on:
Example:
❌ Amateur thinking: “I’ll make this hole 10mm because it looks good”
✅ Professional thinking: “This hole needs H7/g6 clearance fit for an M10 bolt with ±0.2mm tolerance for our machining capability”
See the difference?
One is guessing. One is engineering.
This is design intent. This is what gets you hired.
NOW you open SolidWorks.
Notice: This is step 4 of 5. Not step 1.
When you’ve done C-S-D properly:
Modeling becomes 5X faster.
No confusion. No endless revisions. No “I’ll just try this and see what happens.”
Just clean, confident execution.
This is how professionals model in 30 minutes what takes students 3 hours.
Not because they’re smarter. Because they PREPARED.
What most people do:
“I modeled it. I’m done.”
What professionals do:
Create complete documentation:
Because here’s the truth:
Your 3D model is only 40% of the deliverable.
The other 60%? Documentation.
Manufacturing can’t build from a pretty render. They need DRAWINGS.
This is what makes you valuable to employers.
Anyone can make a 3D shape.
Professionals create production-ready documentation.
Traditional Approach (What You Probably Do Now):
Open CAD → Click randomly → Get stuck → Google → Try again → Fail → Frustration → Quit
Time: Hours of frustration
Result: Nothing usable
Feeling: “I’m not good at this”
C.S.D.I.A. Framework Approach:
Conceptualize (15 min) → Sketch (20 min) → Dimension (15 min) → Model (45 min) → Annotate (30 min)
Time: 2 hours 5 minutes
Result: Complete, professional project
Feeling: “I’m actually good at this!”
The difference?
❌ Random clicking = Painful struggle
✅ Systematic process = Confident creation
This is what CAD Mastery teaches.
Not software buttons. Not random tutorials.
A proven, professional design process that works every single time.

Here’s our promise:
Complete Week 1 of the program.
If you’re not satisfied with:
Send us an email. We’ll refund 100%. No questions asked.
Why can we offer this?
Because in 2 years of teaching, we’ve had ZERO refund requests.
Students who show up and do the work ALWAYS see results.
The risk is entirely on us. You have everything to gain.
Absolutely. The program is designed for beginners. We start from fundamentals and build systematically. My 200-level students with zero prior experience complete it successfully. If you can use a computer, you can do this.
SolidWorks (we provide resources for student licenses). The principles also apply to other parametric CAD software. Full installation guide provided upon enrollment
2-3 hours per day for 14 days. Sessions are recorded, so you can watch at your own pace if you miss a live session. We recommend attending live for the best experience.
Minimum requirements: 8GB RAM, decent processor (i5 or equivalent), Windows 10/11. We provide optimization tips for lower-spec machines. Most modern laptops work fine.
We offer payment plans: 2 payments of $40 or 3 payments of $45. We also have a limited number of partial scholarships. DM us if finances are a genuine barrier.
The certificate is a bonus. What matters is your PORTFOLIO. That's what gets you hired. The 3 projects you build are worth more than any certificate.
We can't guarantee you a job, that depends on many factors. But we CAN guarantee you'll have: portfolio-quality projects, industry-standard skills, and knowledge to freelance. 85% of our students get job offers or freelance clients within 90 days
YouTube teaches software buttons. We teach PROFESSIONAL DESIGN PROCESS. You get: structured curriculum, real projects, feedback on your work, industry insights, community support, and career guidance. Plus, you actually finish (95% completion rate vs. 5% for self-learning).
Quality over quantity. I personally review portfolios and provide feedback. Can't do that effectively for 2,000 people. Small cohorts = better outcomes.
All sessions are recorded and available within 1 hour. You can watch anytime. However, we strongly recommend attending live for the best experience and to ask questions in real-time.
Week 1 is covered by our money-back guarantee. After Week 1, no refunds—but you'll have access to all materials forever and can complete at your own pace.
Yes! The course is online and timezone-flexible. We have students from Ghana, Kenya, and UK in past cohorts. All pricing in Naira but we accept international payments.
