Engineersand architects use AutoCAD for sketching, analyzing, and prototyping. For instance, AutoCAD makes prototyping a breeze by graphically simulating how a machine will work and what changes as required. Having this important tool in your skillset can definitely put you in a better position in your career. And as a civil engineer myself, I can assure you that many jobs in India actually require AutoCAD skills.

Fast forward to 2021, my team participated and came all-India third in a steel design competition by INSDAG, and it was my responsibility to look after the drawings. I spent months on them, almost breaking my shoulders (literally), but never got tired of it. I just wanted to make them perfect and see our designs come to life.

Hello. I am looking for a recommendation for an online course for beginners in AutoCAD. I have been using the program for more years than I care to admit, but I have an employee that is interested in learning and a class at a local community college will not work with her schedule. We are willing to pay for a course but how do you sort through the courses available? Thanks in advance. Amy
Thank you for sending the information. These are worth looking at, but I would still like an actual course which provides assignments, tests, etc. Something that we can take a look at and view the different sections for accountability.

I'm currently making my way through the Penn Foster AutoCAD program (at the moment I'm working on the structural drafting project that seems to get quite a bit of attention in the student questions area of this forum) and the things I've read about it from those who sound like experienced drafters on this forum are a bit troubling to me. I'm already most of the way through this course and I've already paid the money, so I can't exactly take back that decision. What would those of you who believe this course to be flawed suggest that I do after I complete the program? Are there better online schools for this subject?
I'm not really sure about my long term aspirations. At the moment, I just know that this sort of work seems like it could be enjoyable for me as well as a viable means to support myself while I go out for my post-baccalaureate degree in psychology. I don't really have enough knowledge or experience to decide which type of drafting (mechanical, etc.) I'd like to go into.
The local community college no longer offers courses on the subject, and my searches online didn't come up with any local training centers. In fact, I didn't really know there was such a thing as the latter until just now, so maybe if I had searched for such a thing it would have come up.
AutoDesk resellers (companies that sell AutoDesk products and are authorized to do so) are known to offer training as well. Most of the classes range from 3 to 5 days. Some will offer basic, intermediate and advanced courses as well as courses on customizing AutoCAD. These can range in price from $500 to $1500 depending on the the area you live in.
