Learning Tekla is like buying a car

Learning Tekla is akin to purchasing a car, or virtually anything else. There are three options from which to choose:

1. The Best of the Best: These are top-tier options that provide the quickest and most likely path to achieving your desired results. However, they come at a higher price point. While this choice may exceed the budget of some

individuals, for companies, itʼs a highly recommended consideration. When compared to the alternatives, the cost is relatively minimal. The return on investment derives from saved time and the increased high-level e iciency it yields.

2. Average: The second option is to opt for an averagely priced course, or even more economical ones if youʼre on a tight budget. These courses are less expensive but may come with compromises in quality. Hidden fees can be an issue, akin to an older, cheaper car needing frequent repairs. As the cost of the training course decreases, so does its quality. Youʼll gain a foundational understanding, but deeper insights into the so ware and its full potential may be lacking. Learning from your mistakes and gaining insight while working can be a lengthy and costly process.

3. Free or DIY 🙂: Some individuals may face budget constraints and limited options. In such cases, making the most of whatʼs available is essential. While reaching the top is possible, it may require more e ort and time. This article also provides information on various free resources to get started with the right tools, allowing for self-development without the financial burden.

I personally recommend selecting the option that aligns with your budget while avoiding excessive comfort, as growth o en occurs beyond oneʼs comfort zone.
