  The most fantastic feature of our training is that we tailor it to benefit each student’s individual AutoCAD work environment. In so doing, our students are assured that they not only learn basic AutoCAD fundamentals, but that they will also know how to apply this new knowledge to their specific work environments. Each student is encouraged to bring in actual work problems for their class projects. The more, the better!


Attend five hours per week for 20 weeks to total 80 hours of lecture/workshop training. Weekly worksite implementation projects hone your skills and additional one-on-one instruction ensures all your questions get answered! Enrollment is limited in all PDC courses. Apply Now!

Each AutoCAD participant must have a computer loaded with the appropriate software (Rel. 2000i or higher, or LT) dedicated to his/her use at work.

Did you know?

Many famous people have equated their success with hard work and the ability to immerse themselves in their projects. For example, Michelangelo said: "If people know how hard I work to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all." Thomas Carlyle: "Genius is the capacity for taking infinite pains." And Alexander Hamilton: "All the genius I may have is merely the fruit of thought and labor." ("For Achievers Only," The Manager's Intelligence Report, 2000)

May we help make your hard work a little easier with hands-on, state-funded training customized to meet your specific needs?

 
 

"Our workers have improved their productivity by at least 25% since their AutoCAD training through the PDC. They also have upgraded their ability  to produce professional AutoCAD drawings, better field drawings, and all professional formats. We will definitely be sending more employees to training through the PDC".
