Welcome to the 2026 Edition Course!
The “Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days” course on YouTube just got a massive upgrade. Originally released in 2019, our new 2026 Edition is being built from the ground up to cover every minor and major change to Fusion. We’ve integrated the new UI and streamlined workflows, plus years of student feedback, to make this the most effective version yet.
We are currently releasing new lessons! Check out the progress and jump to the latest lessons.
Important 2026 Update
The people have spoken! Kevin is working on revising the entire course for 2026.

Learning Tips
Learning science has proven that the best way to learn is by doing. Take your time to build the models yourself as you follow along with the tutorial videos.
Many students prefer to watch each video once, then again while following along.
To maintain knowledge and progress without getting overwhelmed, try completing one or two videos a day. Spacing out your learning sessions will help you retain the information.
Tip: You can adjust the playback speed on the video player. I record all of my tutorials at a slow and steady pace, so you can up the playback speed if desired – or slow it down if you want to follow along with fewer play/pause clicks needed.
