AutoCAD 2012: The Complete Guide
Overview:
Designed to give you a solid understanding of AutoCAD 2012 features and capabilities from the basics through to advanced and complex 3D modeling components. Every course is designed to use all learning styles from text, audio, video, interactivity, quizzes and practical "Let Me Try" examples.
To get the most out of this course, we strongly recommend you review every topic within the course, and use all the learning styles to ensure you retain the important information within. We also encourage you to take all the progress tests to ensure you have retained the knowledge, and most importantly practice with the hundreds of real world, Let Me Try examples.
Prerequisites:
- A working knowledge of basic design/drafting procedures and terminology
- A working knowledge of recent version of the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Guided Course Option:
All lectures within this course are initially locked. This means you will not be able to access the material until you read and accept the Terms and Conditions. To unlock the lectures you must first pass the progress test from the previous lecture with a mark of 70% or more. You will have 5 attempts at each progress test.
At the mid-point of the course, you will complete a Mid-Course Survey. Your feedback is valuable to us, so that we can continuously improve our courses and your e-Training experience.
Once you have completed the final progress test, a Post Course Survey will be unlocked. Completing this survey is compulsory, and once submitted an instructor will contact you, and you will be presented with a Certificate of Completion.
