About AutoCAD On-Demand
This Online On-Demand (self-study) training course includes 360-day access to videos lessons. These video lessons provide instructors’ descriptions and demonstrations of key features and concepts. Step-by-step procedures that establish workflows for end-users. Hands-on practice exercises, including provided datasets, take end-users through typical scenarios they will encounter using the software. Command summaries for quick-reference when using the software. Finally, graded review questions validate understanding and track progress and proficiency improvements.
**What You Need to Take this Training**
You will need the AutoCAD software and a high-speed internet connection. Students registering for this course may be eligible for free access to Autodesk software for a one-year period-please contact our office for details. Please note: this course is designed for a Windows OS.
Prerequisites
A working knowledge of basic design or drafting procedures and terminology. A working knowledge of the Windows operating system is also needed.
AutoCAD On-Demand Learner Profiles
AutoCAD On-Demand is a self-study training solution that was designed for two types of learners. First, AutoCAD On-Demand is a great fit for experienced professionals who have some experience with AutoCAD and don't need traditional classes to upgrade their existing skills. They can pick and choose topics to make the most effective use of their time. Second, AutoCAD On-Demand is perfect for highly-motivated individuals who are new to AutoCAD and need to space their learning over a period of weeks or months. These learners can take their time and repeat sections as needed until they master the new concepts.
Note: All Autodesk On-Demand classes are in "mixed units" by default. Metric unit curriculum are available upon request.
ONLC Extras
ONLC Training Centers bundles in valuable extras with our AutoCAD On-Demand Courses. These extras are not available from other training companies.
ACU Certification Bundle Upgrade Option. Our AutoCAD On-Demand classes come with the option of bundling in ACU exam prep software and an exam voucher (with 1 free retake). Students must schedule when and where they will take the exam through Certiport, the AutoCAD testing service. For details, see:
AutoCAD Certification Bundles
ILT Participant Option. You've purchased AutoCAD On-Demand, have gone through the training and decided that you still want to see a live class. Just pay difference between AutoCAD On-Demand course and the Instructor-Led Training (ILT) class and you can have a seat in our live class. Get both self-study and live, instructor-led training for the retail price of the instructor-led class alone!(Available for either the instructor-led Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 class. Only one class per participant.)
Do You Still Prefer a Live, Instructor-led Class?
