Site Map              Directions Program Summary: This 120 hour course covers additional commands, concepts and techniques not covered in the AutoCAD Fundamentals course. The logical progression puts emphasis towards increasing productivity using newly introduced tools and refining current techniques. It is designed for the drafter, designer, engineer, or user who has three months experience using AutoCAD or has taken the AutoCAD Fundamentals course. This hands-on training concentrates on intermediate to advanced AutoCAD concepts and commands designed to increase productivity. There is extensive supervised lab time included with this course. For information on a 50 hour short version of this course with significantly less lab time click here. Who Should Attend?: This course is designed to bring the drafter, designer, engineer or experienced user to an advanced productive level of experience. It is an appropriate course of all design disciplines and for individuals who edit, view or work with others that create design content. Program Prerequisites: AutoCAD Fundamentals or three months experience using AutoCAD.
