AutoCAD for Beginners

AutoCAD Training for Beginners, Level 1- Stage 1

What to expect

The Level 1 - Stage 1 course, is a three day course and covers over 200 commands, concepts and settings and comes with a 455 page manual, with over 350 full colour illustrations, that is yours to keep. We also do up to 60 practice exercises during the course. We will train you on the version of AutoCAD that you have in your own office (e.g. LT 2007, 2009 full version etc.) and we also offer a 6 month free post course telephone helpline. The instructor is an Apprentice trained draughtsman with 25 years of CAD experience and 27 years draughting experience.

Level 1 - Stage 2 is a 2 day course that we used to run. However the first day of this course has now been incorporated into Level 1 Stage 2 and the Second day overlaps with our advanced Level 2 course. We therefore only run this course on demand.

Exceptions

Although the user will have a good grasp of how to produce an AutoCAD drawing, not all functions are covered in this course. For a full list of these commands see our level 2 training course

After the course

You will be expected to practice you new skills frequently, if you are not intending to use AutoCAD daily we recommend spending a minimum of 5 hours per week practising. We provide extensive practice and project exercises with your manuals to enable you to do this. If you do not practice you will quickly loose your new skills.
