About Keith Childress
Hello. My name is Keith Childress. I am the founder and primary instructor of Keith Childress’ Practical CATIA Training. I’ve been involved in the design and engineering profession for more than forty years. I hold multiple patents for my designs and have written articles that have appeared in CATIA Solutions Magazine and other worldwide trade publications. I am a 1980 graduate of the Batavia School of Drafting and a 1982 graduate of the prestigious Philpot School of Automotive Body Design.
I am a Dassault Systemes “CATIA Certified Professional” who began using CATIA in 1986 while employed as a Lead Designer at Saturn Corp. (GM). I founded Keith Childress’ Practical CATIA Training™ in 1995 to fill the demand for practical CATIA training in the industry. Practical CATIA Training is based on my extensive use of CATIA throughout my career.
About Practical CATIA Training
Practical CATIA Training is based on my 30+ years experience using CATIA in the Design Engineering Profession. With this experience I developed and personally teach the practical application of the CATIA software as it is really used in the automotive, aerospace, and consumer product design industries.
Practical CATIA Training covers the following CATIA workbenches:
- Part Design
- Sketcher
- Generative Shape Design (wireframe and surface)
- Generative Sheetmetal Design
- Assembly Design
- Drafting

What People Are Saying
Mr. Childress’ course is the most well respected CATIA training in Detroit. Because Mr. Childress has used the CATIA software in the design and engineering profession for a number of years, he is able to teach the practical application of the CATIA software as it is really used in the industry. Because of the proficiency of Mr. Childress’ trainees, companies have specifically asked me to recruit designs and engineers trained by Mr. Childress. Designers and engineers take Mr. Childress’ course because it is the best CATIA training available, and because Mr. Childress charges less than half what others charge for comparable training. Because of Mr. Childress’ outstanding reputation and affordable prices, I have referred numerous designers and engineers to Mr. Childress for CATIA training.
