Scheduled AutoCAD training coursesScheduled AutoCAD training courses

(timtabled courses attended by individuals from different organisations)

We run scheduled AutoCAD training courses on a regular basis. 2D courses are available at all levels, from beginner through to advanced. We also offer 3D AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor training.

All of our scheduled AutoCAD training courses are Autodesk-approved. Delegates receive official AutoCAD training courseware and are issued with an Autodesk completion certificate, recognised throughout the CAD industry.

Courses are hosted at our training centre in Bromsgrove the Midlands, close to the M5/M6/M40/M42 motorway network. They are attended by delegates from all parts of the UK; we regularly receive delegates from London, the Home Counties, Oxford, Yorkshire, East Anglia, Manchester and Liverpool, as well as Scotland and Wales.

We offer the following scheduled courses:

AutoCAD Essentials training

Course objectives

To provide a thorough grounding in AutoCAD. On completing the course you will be able to produce accurate drawings, and will have learned shortcuts and techniques to help you use AutoCAD efficiently. The course provides ample opportunity to discuss your specific requirements and any problems you are having with the trainer.

Who should attend?

This course is aimed at newcomers to CAD drawing, users with a small amount of AutoCAD experience, and users who have previously used a different CAD tool and are looking to migrate to AutoCAD.

Which versions of AutoCAD are covered?

Courses run in 2009 will be based on AutoCAD 2009 / AutoCAD LT 2009. (Please note that most of the techniques taught are relevant to all recent releases of AutoCAD. If you are using a different recent version of AutoCAD, the trainer will be happy to spend some time looking at this version with you.)

Course outline

The first day is spent learning basic commands and techniques. Sessions cover creating 2D drawings and drawing templates files, working with the display commands, and drawing and editing objects. Following these sessions, time is spent practicing the skills learnt. The final stages focus on printing (paper space and model space), and expanding knowledge to the limits of the course outline.

AutoCAD Intermediate training

Course objectives

To provide additional AutoCAD tutoring, building on the basic concepts introduced in the AutoCAD Essentials course. It incorporates the features, commands and techniques for becoming more productive when creating, annotating and printing drawings. Hands-on exercises illustrate the concepts taught.

Who should attend?

Users who either have either attended our AutoCAD Essentials course, or who have a basic understanding of AutoCAD through other means, who wish to build on their skills.

Which versions of AutoCAD are covered?

The course is currently based on AutoCAD 2009, but most of the techniques taught are relevant to all recent releases of AutoCAD. (There is not currently an official Autodesk Intermediate course available for AutoCAD 2009.) If you are using a different recent version of AutoCAD, our trainer will be happy to spend some time looking at this version with you.
