40 years of trusted, productive engineering.
Live virtual courses taught by structural engineers, from modeling and analysis in SAFI™ to seismic, finite element and GSE™ concrete, steel and wood design. Every participant receives a certificate of attestation for continuing education.
Why train with SAFI™
Hands-on training in structural modeling, 3D structural analysis, seismic and dynamic analysis, finite element analysis (FEA) and code-based design of reinforced concrete, steel and wood structures, from your first model to your final design.
Every course is led by professional structural engineers who know the software and answer your technical questions live.
Courses run live online, split into shorter sessions and planned around your team’s schedule.
From basic modeling to seismic analysis and finite elements, courses combine the engineering background with hands-on work in the software.
Every participant receives an attestation of participation for professional development hours (PDH), sent by email within a few days after the course.
