This 5-day AutoCAD for Novice Users class is designed for individuals who need to come up on the AutoCAD software but who have little or no CAD, drafting or architectural design background. It provides extra time for practice labs and review sessions so that individuals can gain a better mastery of the skills and concepts needed to go from novice to skilled AutoCAD user in a single week.
The objective of AutoCAD for Novice Users is to enable students to create a basic 2D drawing in the AutoCAD software. This course covers the essential core topics for working with the AutoCAD software. The teaching strategy is to start with a few basic tools that enable the student to create and edit a simple drawing, and then continue to develop those tools. More advanced tools are introduced throughout the class. Not every command or option is covered, because the intent is to show the most essential tools and concepts to work competently with the software.
No prior working knowledge of CAD software is required for this class. In addition, students need no prior drafting or architectural design background to successfully complete this class. A working knowledge of the Windows operating system is required. For those with prior CAD, drafting, or architectural background, you can take the 3-day version of this class instead.

AutoCAD Level 1: Essentials
The AutoCAD® for Novice Users class is designed for those using AutoCAD® or AutoCAD LT® with a Windows operating system. This class is not designed for AutoCAD for Mac software or hardware. Additionally, those attending class from home should use a wheeled mouse. A trackpad is not sufficient as AutoCAD is heavily dependent on selecting points and right clicks for additional menus.
