  • Great course. Not just have I adapted more about the usefulness of AutoCAD, however with Carls cognitive content and experience of the software I feel that it will enhance my work process. 10 out of 10.

  • Good. Simon took what could be an extremely exhausting course and made it intriguing and kept me locked in. I adapted faster than anticipated and will return for the accompanying courses.

  • The teacher (Stewart) was the genuine addition to purpose of this course. He went at precisely the right pace, was concerned in ensuring all members had effectively finished every procedure and was exceptionally congenial. I express this as a previous instructor with 10 years of experience. Should the need emerge for further Autodesk programming preparing, I would make Armada my first port of call.
