What our students say about this AutoCAD course:
Bethanie - I could not recommend the AutoCAD 2D course more highly! I hoped to get a basic understanding of CAD software to start building on. At first, I was apprehensive because I was starting from ground zero with no CAD experience, but the tutor Jenny made everything clear and built on each skill we learned to make the progression seem effortless. Leaving I felt comfortable using the Auto CAD software and can happily work out other CAD software from the knowledge gained here with some time.
Zach - Highly recommend London Software Training! The class I took really helped me build my confidence with AutoCAD and it taught me so much. Our teacher was extremely knowledgeable and helped me a lot to understand AutoCAD as a programme and he took the time to develop each member of the class at their own pace. 5 stars for this place, it's a great investment!
Hollie - A great course that's armed me with all the skills and confidence to get started on CAD. Looking forward to booking on to the next phase!
