Description
🎓 STAAD Pro and ETABS Structural Analysis Training — live online training from 3D-LABS, taught by practising design engineers who build the calculators and software used on EPC projects every day.
⏱ Duration: 5 weeks · 🕑 Schedule: 2 hrs/day, weekday or weekend batches · 📶 Level: Intermediate · 💻 Mode: Live online, every session recorded
👷 Who this course is for
Civil and structural engineers, industrial structure designers and graduates who need production modelling and design skills in the two tools most employers ask for by name.
📚 Course structure
- Structural modelling fundamentals — Idealisation, releases and supports, the difference between a model that runs and a model that is right.
- STAAD Pro environment — Geometry, properties, specifications, and keeping a model auditable as it grows.
- Load definition — Dead, live, wind, seismic, crane and equipment loads, and building the load combination set.
- Steel design — Member design to AISC 360 and IS 800, slenderness, deflection limits and connection forces.
- Concrete design — Beam, column and slab design to ACI 318 and IS 456, and detailing output.
- Industrial structures — Pipe racks, technological structures, equipment platforms and crane gantry girders.
- ETABS for buildings — Storey definition, diaphragms, shear walls, modal analysis and storey drift checks.
- Foundations and interfaces — Base plates, anchor bolts, footing loads and what the foundation designer needs from you.
- Model checking — Reaction and equilibrium checks, result sanity tests, and catching the errors reviewers look for.
- Deliverables — Analysis reports, design summary tables, and GA and detailing inputs.
🧮 3D-LABS calculators and software you will use
Every module is taught against real design sheets from our library of 680+ engineering calculators and our in-house software (STR Master, FEA Master) — you keep access to them and can use them on the job from day one.
- Base plate and anchor bolt design
- Beam, column and bracing member checks to AISC and IS 800
- Crane gantry girder design
- Pipe rack load generation and combinations
- Wind and seismic load generation
- Isolated and combined footing design
- Storey drift and stability checks
- Connection shear and moment capacity
🖥 Tools, codes and standards covered
IS 800, IS 456, IS 875 and IS 1893, AISC 360, ACI 318 and ASCE 7, with STAAD Pro and ETABS workflows throughout.
📦 What is included
- Certificate of completion issued by 3D-LABS
- Lifetime access to course notes and session recordings
- Working calculators and templates used in class
- A guided mini-project with reviewed deliverables
- Doubt-clearing support with the trainer after the batch ends
🎯 What you can do after this course
Build and defend a structural model in either tool — correct loading, clean results, code-compliant member design and deliverables a checker can follow.

About STAAD Pro and ETABS Structural Analysis Training
STAAD Pro and ETABS Structural Analysis Training is a 3D-LABS Software Mastery course designed for engineers wanting hands-on mastery of industry-standard engineering software. By the end of this course, you will be able to produce production-quality output in the software from day one on a real project. The course combines live-cohort sessions (weekends) with self-paced material available 24/7.
Who STAAD Pro and ETABS Structural Analysis Training is for
STAAD Pro and ETABS Structural Analysis Training is designed for:
- Early-career engineers wanting to accelerate practical skills in the topic.
- Experienced engineers moving into a new domain or refreshing their working knowledge.
- Team leads wanting to level-set junior team members on a specific skill.
- Students preparing for professional roles in the discipline.
What is included
- Live-cohort sessions — weekend sessions with the instructor, 2 hours each, recorded for those who cannot attend live.
- Self-paced modules — recorded lessons, exercises, and reference material available 24/7 in your account.
- Project-based assessment — real-project deliverable at the end, not a multiple-choice quiz.
- Certificate of completion — verifiable online at 3d-labs.com/verify.
- 12 months of access — pace yourself, revisit material anytime within the access window.
- Access to spreadsheet library — course-relevant subset of the 621 3D-LABS engineering spreadsheets included at no extra cost.
Course structure and duration
Total duration: 6-12 weeks depending on scope. Each week: 2 hours live session + 3-5 hours self-paced material + 2-4 hours applied exercises. Total commitment: 7-11 hours per week. Compatible with a full-time job — most students work through the course alongside their day job.

Frequently asked questions
How is STAAD Pro and ETABS Structural Analysis Training delivered?
STAAD Pro and ETABS Structural Analysis Training combines live-cohort sessions with self-paced material. Live sessions run on weekends (2 hours, IST time zone) and are recorded for those who cannot attend live. Self-paced material — recorded lessons, exercises, and reference documents — is available in your account 24/7.
What is the course duration?
Typical duration: 5 weeks. You have 12 months of access from purchase, so you can pace yourself. Live cohort sessions run in defined 5 week windows — you can join the current cohort or wait for the next one.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. After completing all lessons and passing the final assessment (typically a project deliverable, not a multiple-choice quiz), you receive a certificate of completion from 3D-LABS. The certificate is verifiable online at 3d-labs.com/verify.
Who teaches the course?
Courses are taught by senior 3D-LABS engineers with 10-20+ years of industry experience. Instructor bios are on the course page. This is applied engineering practice from working engineers, not academic theory.
What if the course does not meet my expectations?
7-day satisfaction guarantee. If you have attended the first live session or completed the first module of self-paced material and are not satisfied, email us within 7 days for a full refund. After 7 days, refunds are pro-rated based on material accessed.
