Overview
Learn to use AutoCAD’s advanced features and commands for 2D drawing and design, and become more productive using the application. Sessions include:
- Advanced drawing techniques.
- Using macros for customisation.
- Using system variables.
- Dynamic blocks.
If you are not an established AutoCAD user, our AutoCAD Essentials course will be more suitable to get you started.
This course has been developed by CAD professionals to teach you in the most efficient way. It has been attended by many hundreds of delegates over 15 years.
Armada is a long-standing Autodesk-authorised Training Centre, and this is an accredited course. Our trainers are Autodesk Certified Instructors, with vast experience of using AutoCAD professionally.
Training is highly practical, combining lecture, demonstration and plenty of assisted practice.
The drawing techniques taught are generic, relevant to all industries. You will be able to apply them to whatever you’re going to be doing in the application. Our trainers use exercises from a variety of disciplines.
Delegates receive:
- A comprehensive training guide for AutoCAD, to refer to throughout the course and use as a refresher after.
- An e-certificate confirming successful completion of an accredited AutoCAD course.
- 30 days' email support from their trainer.
We offer fantastic facilities at our Armada training centres. All training rooms are air-conditioned. Delegates have sole access to a large-screen computer throughout the course running licensed AutoCAD software to practice.
Courses are available at our permanent training facilities at Birmingham (Bromsgrove), Bristol, Reading, Milton Keynes and Sheffield.
