In search of.... Solidworks Tutorials

In summary, the conversation is about a person looking for recommendations on YouTube or video series for learning how to use Solidworks, specifically the 2018+ version.

TL;DR Summary
Looking for a Solidworks 2018+ video tutorial.
Hi folks,

Coming from an non-engineering background, I have not taken a formal course on CAD. Is anyone familiar with any good YouTube/video series that give a tutorial on using Solidworks, 2018+?

I have browsed around and I've watched some videos but they only scratch the surface.

Thanks.

There is a Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtwaWPOXEBysZLh1rrPzwFw

The problem is that, the 2018+ requirement might not be satisfied. However, if you don't find any other good video, maybe you could consider viewing the old ones.

Solidworks also has their own site, which hosts some tutorials:
