AutoCAD

AutoCAD is recognised as industry standard drafting software and is a powerful tool to achieve high quality results. Its 2D and 3D design and drafting capabilities are an essential part of the creation and management of detailed and informative drawings so vital in the world of architecture, design and engineering.

Our one-to-one AutoCAD courses give new users an essential introduction to the AutoCAD software and experienced users an opportunity to extend their skills. The onsite sessions enable all users to get the best out of the software with minimum disruption to the workplace, with participants using real time projects as a base for the training.
