Training process

Training needs analysis

If you have specific requirements regarding the training programme, we will carry out a training needs analysis for you. This will guide us on which aspects of the programme should receive greater emphasis, so that the training programme meets your specific needs.

What will you gain?

icon

Confident interface use - You will learn how to move around AutoCAD with confidence, use core tools, and find commands faster, which will immediately make your day-to-day drafting work more efficient.

icon

Reliable drawing workflow - You will master creating new files, working with several drawings at once, and saving documentation properly, so you can avoid confusion and reduce the risk of losing your work.

icon

Accurate 2D drawing - You will learn to draw with coordinates, ORTHO mode, and polar input, so you can create objects more accurately, work faster, and spend less time correcting basic geometry.

icon

Better layer management - You will learn how to create and organize layers to separate drawing elements clearly. This will help you edit, review, and share technical drawings in a much cleaner way.

icon

Controlled object editing - You will understand object properties such as color, line features, and types, which will help you control the visual standard of your drawings and keep documentation consistent.

icon

Faster drawing changes - You will practice moving, copying, scaling, trimming, extending, and erasing elements, so you can revise drawings efficiently without rebuilding geometry from the beginning.

icon

Clear dimensions and notes - You will learn how to add dimensions, text, and graphic symbols, then format them properly, so your drawings become easier to read for clients, contractors, and team members.

icon

Proper print setup - You will learn how to prepare drawings for printing and configure output settings correctly, helping you avoid scale issues, unreadable sheets, and handoff problems later on.

  • drawing objects (lines, circles, polygons).

4. Layers

  • the idea of layers,
  • the layer system,
  • creating layers.

5. Properties of objects

  • colors,
  • features,
  • types.

6. Commands and modifications

  • undo and redo,
  • moving,
  • copying,
  • scaling,

10. Training summary

What are the prerequisites for participating in the training?

icon

Computer basics - You should be comfortable using a computer, mouse, and keyboard, and know your way around Windows, so you can follow the exercises and move through the software without trouble.

icon

File handling - You should know how to create folders, open files, and save documents in the right location, because during the course you will work with multiple drawings and file versions.

icon

Basic geometry - You should understand basic geometric concepts such as a line, angle, circle, and polygon, so the drawing and editing tasks covered in the training are easier to follow.

icon

Attention to detail - You should be ready to work carefully and follow instructions precisely, because the course includes drawing, editing, dimensioning, and preparing technical files for print.
