AutoCAD – Basics and Intermediate: 4-Part Online Course

October 2, 2019 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM (EDT)

Description

*Registration is for 4 classes. This course runs on Wednesdays October 2, 9, 16, and 23, 2019.*

In the Construction world, we don’t always need advanced drafting and design tools, but it can be a huge time -and money- saver to just open a DWG file and make some simple edits or calculations. This course is designed to help the casual user become proficient with everyday tasks and tools in the AutoCAD system. Whether you’ve used AutoCAD for a while and just want a solid refresher on basic skills, or you’re a new user trying to get just the tools you need to do your job efficiently, this class will help. 

This eight (8) hour course is delivered in four (4), two-hour long sessions that students can attend online, right from their own desk. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions, and address questions as the class progresses. 

Note: Instructor will present using AutoCAD 2019. Students who wish to follow along with instructor are encouraged to use the same version.
