Our AutoCad courses are arranged in Modules & Lessons. The lessons include course notes, file downloads, step by step videos to follow along, assignments & you can ask questions within the course platform & our private Facebook Group.
Unfortunately no, our Autocad Foundations Course would be the best starting point for you!
In this AutoCad Kitchen Course we assume prior basic knowledge to begin with. You must already be familiar with the Autocad interface, know how to draw lines, circles and arcs with precision.
You know how to rotate, move, trim, extend. You have a basic knowledge on how to use layers, blocks and paperspace and model space.
There are no prerequisites to the course, however it is aimed to assist interior designers and not the homeowner. So knowledge of reading floorplans is beneficial. You will also know how to download and save files. Just that kind of thing. But we are also happy to help with that stuff too
You're all set & ready to go if your studio already has AutoCad. We recommend using minimum AutoCad LT (which includes a 30 day free trial).
The best way to experience any of our courses are via a Mac (OS) or PC (Win). Mobile devices including but not limited to ipads, iphones & tablets can also be used but not recommended. Internet connection with at least ADSL 1.5mbps+ or greater for smooth video playback & downloading/uploading during the course.
You will receive an email with your enrollment confirmation & link to the course after purchase, please keep this in a safe place. All modules are available after purchase. Enjoy!
It is flexible to complete in your own time, there is six months access.
The Facebook group is quite active and I am always available to help you out there with any support & within the course platform.
