Welcome to the 2023-24 Course!
Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days for Complete Beginners was originally released in 2019 and quickly became the most popular Fusion 360 course on the internet. Since then, Fusion 360 has introduced a new user interface and many new features that improved prior workflows.
Important Update
Kevin is currently remaking the course from scratch. Completely revised and updated for the 2023-24 version of Autodesk Fusion (formerly called ‘Fusion 360’). Days 1-22 have been released as of Jan 19, 2024. The remaining lessons will be released in the coming weeks.

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.
Some students prefer to watch each video once, followed by a second time while they follow 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.
