[AutoCAD
Training Course]
LEVEL: BEGINNER TO EXPERT
Everything you need to know to be a confident AutoCAD user taking on any project size. We will create multiple projects, learn all the tools, and create blocks from scratch, text styles, dimension styles, layers and more.
This course is designed to teach you everything you need to know within 13 hours focusing on useability and not a comprehensive reference manual. We will cover the most crucial components, enabling you to begin modeling without delay. All video lessons are edited to distil the most valuable information and designed to respect your time. Every video has been named and categorised so you can easily refer back to a video with ease.

02 / Technical Drawing Skills.
this course will focus on teaching you the principles of technical drawing and drafting. you will learn industry-standard practices for creating and managing different types of drawings, including architectural, mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering drawings.
03 / Industry Standards and Best Practices.
this course will familiarize you with industry standards and best practices for using AutoCAD. you will learn about common drawing conventions, layer management, annotation styles, dimensioning standards, and plotting/printing guidelines. this knowledge will enable you to create drawings that meet professional standards and can be easily understood and shared with others in their field.
04 / Design Documentation and Annotation.
the course will cover essential skills for producing accurate and comprehensive design documentation. you will learn how to create and manage layouts, insert and annotate dimensions, add text and labels, and generate professional-quality plot-ready drawings, ensuring effective communication of design intent.
05 / Collaboration and File Management.
AutoCAD is widely used in collaborative design environments, and this course will teach you how to effectively collaborate with other professionals on projects. You will learn how to share and reference drawings, manage external references (Xrefs), and implement efficient file management strategies to ensure smooth collaboration and version control.
By acquiring these outcomes and skills, you will be well-equipped to work with AutoCAD across a range of industries, including architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing. You will have the confidence and expertise to handle complex design projects and contribute effectively to the design and documentation process.
