Learning Autocad was a great experience. Being a high school student, it was good that no engineering background was required, however I gained insight on the field of engineering through the various lessons and examples in the workbook. I enjoyed learning the software and further solidified my career aspirations through the hands-on experience.

By completing the AutoCAD Certificate Program, I now have the confidence to practice and discuss AutoCAD with even the most experienced CAD professionals. Further, the credentials of the certificate program have shown my employer that I am well qualified in this very important design technology. This program provides a solid foundation in AutoCAD skills for both newbies as well as seasoned design professionals. The breadth of students in my class ranged from college-level engineering students with no professional experience, to experienced architects, engineers and other designers with decades of work experience. All left the program with superior AutoCAD skills. The AutoCAD Certificate Program provides students with an accelerated program that results in mastery of AutoCAD skills.
