Newbie: Under $1K Powerspec 3D with simplify 3d? Need Training

[aderb001]

I have a $1k budget and so based on this forum and reviews I am planning on buying Powerspec 3D with Simplify 3d. I am hoping some of you might know of videos and other resources to help me through the initial learning curve on 3d modeling and printing. I have taken an autodesk class. I am planning on taking more drafting classes, like inventor, at the community college as well but won't do that until the Fall. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this equipment in the next couple weeks. Any advice is appreciated. I also would appreciate suggestions on cad, as I understand simplify is not used for design.
