Detailed Description 
 
Aims 
 
Whilst our Level 1 Beginners course is extremely comprehensive, it does not tap into all the little extras and add ons that makes AutoCAD an extremely powerful and easy to use CAD program. The aim of the Level 2 Intermediate course is to introduce more sophisticated techniques that will extend the user's mastery of the program. For example, we go beyond the basic skill of inserting a block and learn how to create and manage blocks. Instead of being able to use a template, we show you all the fetaures that can make up a template, of which there are more than you think, so that you can create one of your own. You will learn such skills as: 
 
Using more powerful advanced editing and construction techniques 
Add Parametric constraints to a drawing 
Creating and managing local and global blocks 
Setting up Layers, Annotation Styles and Templates 
Advanced Plotting and Publishing Options 
Adding and controlling the use of External References (Xref's) in a drawin

What to expect 
 
The Level 2 Intermediate course is a two day course and covers over 200 commands, concepts and settings and comes with a 370 page AutoCAD Approved manual, with over 340 full colour illustrations. A sample of this manual can be found by clicking on this link. 
 
We also do many practice exercises during the course to help you practically use the software. We will train you on the version of AutoCAD that you have in your own office (e.g. LT 2010, 2012 full version etc.) and we also offer a 12 month free post course telephone helpline. The instructor is an AutoCAD Certified Professional and Associate, as well as an apprentice trained draughtsman with 25 years of CAD experience and 27 years draughting experience. 
 
Qualifications 
 
We are currently in the process of obtaining accreditation for our courses with the OCN Eastern Region with a view to providing a accredited courses. Please contact us specifically if this is something that you are interested in. Further details Select "CAD Qualifications" from the CAD Training drop down list the top of this page. If you decide not to take the qualification you will still receive an attendance certificate.  
 
Experience 
 
All delegates must have either attended one of our Level 1 Beginners courses and be a frequent user of AutoCAD OR be a regular user of AutoCAD, using and uderstanding its basic features. We do have a questionnaire that we can e-mail to you if you are in any doubt of your ability. 
 
Duration and Dates 
 
2 days for Level 2 (Intermediate) - We run this course twice per year in April and November or when demand dictates running additional courses. 1 to 1 courses can be arranged at any mutually convenient dates. 
 
Maximum numbers 
 
We limit all of our courses to just five attendees which enables all the delegates to have “quality” time with the instructor should they have trouble with certain aspects of AutoCAD. We can also offer "One to One" training as well as limiting the number of places for a single company only. 
 
Location 
 
Courses take place at our Clacton-On-Sea (NE Essex) offices where we have all the facilities, PC's & Software configured and tailored to compliment our training courseware. Another benefit of training away from the office is that you do not get continual interruptions and telephone calls from colleagues requesting so called urgent or quick errands. We occasionally run courses in London or at your premises, however these do incur surcharges for additional costs to us.e.g. room hire and travel. 
 
What's included 
 
All our courses include materials, refreshments and a pub lunch within the price. Lunch is not provided on our 1/2 day courses. 
 
After the course 
 
You will be expected to practice you new skills frequently, it is very easy to slip back into creating/ editing drawings using the methods that you are used to, however force yourself to use your new skills. If you are not intending to use AutoCAD daily we recommend spending a minimum of 3 hours per week practising. We provide extensive practice and project exercises with your manuals to enable you to do this. If you do not practice you could quickly lose your new skills.
