Introduction to AutoCAD 3D Training Course for Technical Drawing

The Introduction to AutoCAD for 3D training course is a one-day event that covers the basic requirements for effective technical drawing in 3D with Computer-Aided Design. It is intended to introduce beginners to the AutoCAD environment, imparting best practices working quickly, efficiently and accurately with the aid of AutoCAD's suite of 3D drawing tools for digital draughtmanship.

This corporate small-group event is conducted either on-site at your premises (anywhere in mainland UK) or as a virtual classroom event. Our small-group essentials AutoCAD 3D training course covers the most common 3D features that users need to become fluent in within the AutoCAD environment.

This introductory Computer-Aided Design for 3D course is for any version of AutoCAD and can also be delivered for ProgeCAD and Draftsight training covering the same topics over two days. Also, if you are an individual looking to learn AutoCAD, ask us about private one-to-one AutoCAD tuition.

AutoCAD 3D Beginners Training Course Prerequisites

Anyone attending this course should already possess a good level of experience working with 2D draughting in AutoCAD and also some practical knowledge of either reading or creating engineering drawings. Learners should also have a good familiarity with the Windows 10 or 11 environment including navigating, files and folders and opening, closing and saving documents. We will provide all courseware and reference materials electronically to use for reference.

On-site AutoCAD 3D Beginners Training UK

These are corporate in-house training courses conducted at your workplace for small groups and are exceptional value and very popular. You will usually need to book at least one month in advance and the maximum number of learners is eight per course.

Our 'face-to-face' closed courses for AutoCAD are delivered as private courses for your delegates offering more flexibility than off-the-shelf public courses and topics taught can often be tailored to match your learning needs. One of our trainers will discuss your training requirements with you prior to the course.

Our trainers can attend anywhere in mainland UK (for overseas requirements, please enquire).

Live Virtual Classroom AutoCAD 3D Beginners Courses

If you have a group of staff that you would prefer to be tutored remotely rather than having a trainer come out to you these small-group private AutoCAD courses are also available Online as live virtual, interactive training sessions from the comfort of your own office or workplace. These live, instructor-led virtual courses are usually taught via Microsoft Teams, but a number of other conferencing platforms are available on request.

Why choose virtual learning? As we are all becoming more used to Online learning and live virtual meetings it has become apparent that the virtual classroom method of delivery has many advantages over traditional face-to-face learning venues.

If you are looking for local training near you, then you can't get any closer to your doorstep than you can with virtual learning.

For virtual AutoCAD training events the maximum number of learners is eight per course and you can benefit from full and immersive interaction with your trainer just as if they were in the classroom with you, with engaging hands-on training via advanced live video conferencing that is further enhanced by features such as live chat, private chat, and sharing screens and documents.
