Reddit reviews Creo Parametric 2.0 Tutorial

If you are looking for reference material, look also for references to Pro/Engineer Wildfire, which is what it used to be called. Not too much changed between Pro/E and Creo beyond adding a ribbon instead of menus.

When I was learning, I used an earlier version of this textbook:

And it was very helpful. Creo is in many ways very unintuitive, so having a book was great.

Looks like this book is an updated copy of the book I used back in the day to learn Pro/E Wildfire 2.0. Great book.

Find out what CAD package they have or are getting. It sounds like a smaller shop so I'd guess Solidworks or Inventor (typically cheaper).

Then, my recommendation is to pick up a tutorial book. I liked Planchard for Solidworks and Toogood/Zecher for Creo (used to be called Pro/E). This was 7+ years and versions ago, but I remember modeling all the stuff on the cover so the tutorials haven't change much and the quality probably hasn't either. I don't really have recommendations for other packages...once you're on your third it's really just figuring out what the new buttons look like.

You can find tutorials online but they are almost never worth it in a business setting. Most are incomplete and disjointed so you'll waste enough man hours it's worth it to just get the book.
