Not just theory – real-world practice!

With WSCAD ELECTRIX Education, school students, trainees, and university students can immediately apply their theoretical knowledge in practice using the E-CAD software.
The functionality of WSCAD ELECTRIX Education is equivalent to our WSCAD ELECTRIX Ultimate version, including the Project Wizard and User Rights add-ons, with only minor limitations.

Thanks to server or standalone installation options, learners can also practice and work from home.
This helps reinforce what they’ve learned and ensures a confident, efficient use of a cutting-edge E-CAD software right from the start.
