Key details

Course for Autodesk Vault administrators, teaching how to implement and maintain Vault.

You’ll learn to:

  • Effectively organise populate and maintain a Vault for easy file reference, sharing and reuse.
  • Carry out day-to-day management tasks, including creating users, managing access and setting file properties.
  • Back up your Vault, and perform general maintenance and housekeeping.
  • Plan for the growth of your deployment, and maintain your Vault to match the evolving needs of your business.

This course is ideal for administrators responsible for setting up and maintaining Vault (Basic), to be used in conjunction with AutoCAD or Inventor.

Vault Administrator’s training is arranged on-request, i.e. one-to-one training or a ‘closed course’ for your group. Your training can be tailored to take into account any existing knowledge you have, and the work you’re going to be doing.

In-class or online

This course is available in-class at eight centres or live online.

Accredited Vault training

Armada is an Autodesk Authorised Training Centre (ATC), accredited to provide training in Vault.

Courses are hosted by an Autodesk Certified Instructor with expert knowledge of the application. See Expert trainer.

How will I learn?

Vault training is hands-on and practical.

Our trainers teach the necessary theory then demonstrate techniques step-by-step. You then practice the techniques taught on a computer running Vault.

There is plenty of time to ask questions, and you can take away all the files you create.

Vault training guide and certificate

Course delegates receive:

  • A comprehensive training guide for Vault, to refer to throughout the course, and to use as a refresher afterwards.
  • An e-certificate confirming successful completion of an accredited Vault training course.

After course support

Following Vault training, delegates are entitled to 30 days’ email support from their Vault trainer to help with any post-course issues. For further details, see Support.

Prerequisites

Delegates should be familiar with the fundamentals of the application with which they’re going to use Vault, i.e. AutoCAD or Inventor.

Vault version

Training can be based on any recent version of Vault Basic.
