SoftwareTraining.co.za — Site Overview

What it is

SoftwareTraining.co.za is AM.CO.ZA’s public library of short, problem-solving, easy-to-follow software training videos. Tagline on the homepage: “Software Training Videos — Short Problem Solving Easy-to-Follow Videos.”

It is not a paid course platform in the traditional sense: content is presented as a free (for customers/users) repository of topic-specific mini-series and individual tutorials, watchable at the user’s own pace. Many pages also offer Watch on YouTube and Download MP4 for individual videos.

What the site offers

• Large catalogue of video tutorials organised by machine/software category (CNC router, vinyl cutter, laser, plasma/FabriCAM, RIP/print, etc.).
• Mini-series indexes that group related parts (e.g. RouterCAM basics, InkRIP ICC profiles, FabriCAM nesting).
• Search (top-right on video pages) to isolate software topics.
• Request a training video form at /request when a topic is missing.
• Contributor / creator programme (About page) inviting skilled users to submit videos for placement — contact softwaretraining@am.co.za.
• Cross-links to YouTube for the same tutorials.

Format of content

Videos are typically:

• Short and task-focused (problem → steps → result).
• Organised as Part N within a mini-series, with an index page listing parts.
• Presented by experienced users / trade professionals (explicitly called out on the TruCUT RDWorks overview article).
• Updated frequently (site claims daily updates in video intros).

Relation to AM.CO.ZA CNC training

Public am.co.za already promotes SoftwareTraining.co.za as the free CNC/software how-to channel. On this domain, AM.CO.ZA is named as the cutting-systems specialist that built the site so customers can use supplied software productively after basic operational training from technical staff. See am-co-za-relationship.md.
