"This course is easy to follow and covers the basics of AutoCAD in a practical way. I'm not just learning isolated certificate exam objectives--I'm learning how to actually use the software as a tool to create drawings."
Learn the skills required in the industry today.
Create building designs, alterations, floorplans, import & edit PDF files of existing drawings, add text & dimensions and understand how to use Paper Space & Model Space!
This course was designed for the complete beginner, with practice files and a realistic project to allow you to put into practice the skills as you learn them. Throughout this AutoCAD course, you’ll be creating your own real-world realistic project that is indicative of the kind you might be asked to create in the workplace. You will learn how to produce a professional drawing to industry standards and hopefully inspire you to do even more!
You will begin right at the start and learn how to set up the software in order to use AutoCAD the way most people in the industry like to use it. You will learn basic selection, creation, and modification techniques first, before following along as we put those skills into practice to create a building layout together.
As the course progresses you will switch between learning basic skills and then putting them into practice on your project. By learning this way you will not only learn how to do something but why and where we use those skills. This will leave you with a much greater understanding of the software and how it is used in the workplace.
Real-World Skills
During the course, you will be following along to create a building layout from the dimensions given. After this course, you will have all the skills necessary to create your own drawings whether for business or leisure purposes.
Become a Professional AutoCAD Technician
With the skills learned in this course, you’ll have a highly-desired skill that can help you get jobs and make money as an AutoCAD Drafter.
AutoCAD is an industry-standard and the most widely used application when it comes to CAD software, so it’s important for you to learn if you want to be a professional designer.
Enhance your degree skills and become more employable
University courses may only teach the basics of AutoCAD or the software may be taught by people who have long been out of the industry and still using old fashioned methods.
Perhaps you are preparing to go to college or university and would like to learn a skill that will help you throughout your studies and give you a head start in your design course.
Add a valuable extra skill to your existing skillset
Perhaps you are already working in construction or design and would like to be able to produce your own design drawings to communicate with your clients or colleagues.
The ability to create your own drawings for client approval or planning applications is an important skill for those offering design and construction services. Whether you are a Contractor, Interior Designer, or Engineer it's important to be able to produce accurate and professional technical drawings that can easily be shared with others in the industry.

"I have been using Autocad for more than 25 years. I am pretty much self-taught and know how to use the program well. I was aware that I might have been using the program in an old-fashioned way. I also had the intention to learn more about 3D modeling in Autocad. For me going deeper into the Autocad universe I needed to ensure that I knew the basics and the most convenient way to use the program. That was the motivation for me taking this course. Did I learn anything new? Yes I did! and it will certainly help me in my everyday work with commands and ways to work that I had overlooked during the years I have used the program. The course was based on practical work, based on real-life experience, and was easy to follow. It didn’t go through every single command or menu in Autocad (that some instructors do) which was good. It gives you the most relevant information you need to get kickstarted as well as a good idea of the workflow. It teaches you the basics of Autocad in a good way so you can start working or continue to learn more advanced features afterward. The course definitely lived up to my expectations."
Why learn AutoCAD from us?
With over 20 years of experience in a variety of design & CAD Management roles, Mike Freeman knows AutoCAD inside out.
Many instructors teach outdated methods which have no place in modern real-world use.
