About this New and Practical PLM Bootcamp. This is how it works:
Starts
Next 2026
Ends
Format
9 consecutive weeks online intensive training.
End of Registration Period
On 8th of January.
As a student, you'll attend an online session every week. Each session lasts around 90 minutes, adding up to 12 hours of training. Throughout the course, you'll gain rare and eye-opening insights into PLM that few people ever acquire.
Sounds fair? Good!
Second, you’ll get access to an intuitive Learning Management System (LMS), where you can join live sessions, review all course materials, and complete your hands-on exercises — all in one place.
No need to download or purchase anything extra. 😊
Third, this PLM Bootcamp merges
mandatory knowledge on:
- PLM as a framework (not just as a system).
- The different systems options out there.
- And the processes.
With → a real-scenario simulation where you, along with other students, will develop a drone (yes a drone). To do this task, week by week, you’ll take on different roles during each session. (First you’ll act as a sales rep maybe… then as a Program Manager, Project Manager, Designer, Concept Architect, Manufacturing Engineer…). This simulation will broaden your perspective.
You’ll put yourself in the shoes of other departments. That will allow you to understand their struggles, which in turn will show you how to best collaborate with other professionals in any company (minimizing avoidable mistakes and speeding up processes).
From design, to manufacturing, development and service you’ll get a grip on Product Lifecycle stages you didn’t have before.
PLM Bootcamp’s Structure: What you’ll learn
Before I show you the curriculum allow me to tell you a brief anecdote
that may resonate with you 👇
On June 05 we started developing this bootcamp. And to make sure it was great, we led a Discovery Phase. We interviewed 37 people. Some of them were advanced PLM consultants. Others were PLM architects.
Others were managers, developers and more.
Regardless of their role, most of them told us they were interested in learning about:
- PLM integrations.
- PLM as a framework, not just as a system.
- PLM processes, strategies and concepts.
Aaaand trends in PLM.
All because they felt like they:
- Lacked overview knowledge on different phases within PLM.
- Had serious difficulties understanding Change Management.
- Lacked knowledge on different systems integrations and when to do them.
And had no real clue about PLM nukes and crannies because they had learnt PLM on the fly (after onboarding on their jobs) and they wanted to enhance their strategic approach to PLM.
Do you also feel like them? Can you confidently say you have PLM expertise?
Or are you losing opportunities because of that?
Maybe money? Clients? Better jobs?
If so, good news! In order to satisfy those needs (and more) we developed this carefully planned curriculum:
What you’ll learn, explained.
On Week 1, to kick-off the Bootcamp, you’ll learn:
Week 1: The Foundations
In the first week, learners are introduced to the key concepts of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). The content includes:
Lesson 1: Core elements of PLM and its strategic value.
Lesson 2: Structure of the PLM framework and its integration in the organisation
Lesson 3: Understanding the full end-to-end process.
Lesson 4: Managing change within a PLM system.
This week lays the foundation for deeper exploration in the following modules.
Week 2: Requirements and Concept
This week focuses on capturing and structuring product requirements and early design concepts. The lessons include:
Lesson 1: How to define clear and actionable product requirements.
Lesson 2: Identifying, documenting, and reporting issues effectively.
Lesson 3: Proposing product improvements using Engineering Change Requests (ECR).
Lesson 4: Defining the logical structure of the product in early development stages.
These topics support a strong foundation for planning and decision-making in the PLM process
Week 3: Design
This week focuses on turning product concepts into structured, manageable designs.
The lessons include:
Lesson 1: Implementing approved changes through Engineering Change Notices (ECN).
Lesson 2: Developing and refining the product design to meet requirements.
Lesson 3: Defining and managing the Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM) to ensure product integrity.
These activities are essential to move from planning to tangible product development.
Week 4: Validation

Lesson 2: Understanding the role of the supply chain in PLM and ensuring smooth material flow.
Lesson 3: Creating a process plan to guide manufacturing operations.
Lesson 4: Managing the Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM) for accurate production.
This stage ensures that the product design is efficiently and effectively transferred to manufacturing.
Week 6: Service and Maintenance
This week explores how PLM supports product performance after launch through service and maintenance strategies. The lessons include:
Lesson 1: Understanding the concept of the Digital Twin and its role in monitoring product use.
Lesson 2: Introduction to the Service Bill of Materials (SBOM) and its function in service planning.
Lesson 3: Approaches to effective product maintenance and lifecycle extension.
This module highlights the importance of long-term support in the product lifecycle.

Lesson 4: Integrating PLM with MES to support manufacturing execution.
This week highlights the importance of a connected digital ecosystem in the product lifecycle.
Week 8: Final Delivery
In the final week, the focus shifts to future perspectives and real-world applications of PLM. The lessons include:
Lesson 1: Exploring current trends and innovations shaping the future of PLM.
Lesson 2: Best practices and considerations for successful PLM system implementations.
Knowledge Check: A final assessment to review and reinforce key concepts learned throughout the course.
This concluding module prepares learners to apply their knowledge and stay updated in a rapidly evolving PLM environment.
At the end, to reward your efforts you’ll receive a certificate 👏🎉 like this one:
Since there are no dedicated university degrees in PLM, there’s nothing you can showcase on LinkedIn (or other platforms) that proves you know PLM. This certificate will grant you another weapon in your CV arsenal to knock out of balance even the most strict HR tough cookies.
You will get certified in Demonstrating PLM Skills and Knowledge with a certification signed by Share PLM and ARAS upon completing the PLM Bootcamp.
And you’ll be able to back up your PLM expertise anytime.
The PLM system you’ll be using to practice: ARAS Innovator
To accomplish all your PLM tasks you won’t be using ENOVIA, Teamcenter, PTC Windchill nor Autodesk. All students will use ARAS Innovator.
We chose Aras because it’s flexible, modern, and widely used in real-world PLM implementations.
- It lets us show real PLM processes, not just theory.
- Its intuitive web-based interface is great for hands-on learning.
- It’s powerful to simulate real scenarios, like managing the lifecycle of a drone.
With Aras, participants get to experience PLM the way companies actually use it.
Plus, some of our advisors for the Bootcamp are from Aras, which means expert support is just a question away!
