Engineering and Architectural AutoCAD

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is interested in CATIA, even if they aren't familiar with it. The instructor is very friendly, has a good sense of humor, and is very resourceful--he has had an interactive training website available to his students for over two years. He helped me understand CATIA's drawing techniques and put them to practice in the engineering industry.

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.

Between being a father and working full-time, I thought I'd never find time to further my education. But, the staff at CPIE made it all possible. From the enrollment process to the final day of class, they made it as hassle free as ever. From day one Robin Searle was there by phone and email to answer all my questions and always responded very quickly. My instructor, Robert, was not only knowledgeable, professional, and funny; but made learning the AutoCAD program fun while making time for each person in the class to ensure that they were on par with the rest. This is definitely one of the best decisions I have made in a while and I am grateful for the effort they put into the students. Also with class being on Sundays, it was perfect for working adults/parents or even people in college during the week. I HIGHLY recommend this school and give huge kudos to the staff for making it a great experience. Thank you CPIE!
