Excellent class and instructor. The class content was a perfect fit for intermediate CAD users.
Awesome instructor, awesome academy, fun enviroment, and a teacher who goes above and beyond!
After doing research and considering in-person versus remote, I settled on these courses for me and my wife as well, and we were not disappointed. I am now confident I can jump in AutoCAD and go straight to work. Amazing what can be taught in three days!
The instructor was energetic and very knowledgeable. Class content was informative and I learned a lot. The examples and exercises were very helpful, and the course book is great, especially the downloadable PDF file.
Professor Dan Perico is fantastic! His knowledge of the program and problem-solving guidance are priceless. He covered both books and even some more in 3 days and still had time to answer all our questions. His approach and energy are phenomenal! I also enjoyed the clean and friendly atmosphere of the school. It was a great experience, and I can’t wait to take my next AutoCAD class here.
I found this beginner's course to be thoroughly enjoyable. It managed to strike a balance between being fun and highly informative. Without a doubt, I would enthusiastically recommend this class to anyone embarking on their AutoCAD career journey.
I was tasked with learning AutoCAD for work, and so many of the offerings out there are overpriced and more theoretical than practical. These classes teach actual literacy within the program quickly, and in an intimate classroom setting.
Class was great (with a great instructor) and the location was so easy to find. They have many other courses that I would like to take!
Glad I took the AutoCAD Bootcamp. It helped me understand the software and how to apply it to any field of work/specific preferences.
Dan Perico is extraordinarily knowledgeable regarding the AutoCAD software and course material, and as a result of the small class size and his clear communication (both speaking and written directions within the books), he was able to assist each of the students whenever necessary and reinforce each of the skills. The experience was excellent not only because of the instructor's outstanding teaching ability, knowledge, and enthusiasm, but also because the condensed format enabled students to complete the course in a short time period (particularly appreciated). Location was also extremely helpful in its proximity to transportation within New York City.
Thoroughly taught the basics of AutoCAD. The PDF file with all the tool tutorials was very helpful, along with the guided instruction. Easy to follow along, didn't speed through the lessons.
Dan is such a comprehensive, approachable, and knowledgeable instructor. His focus on theory, problem-solving, and practices have equipped me so well. I’m enthusiastic and confident about using this AutoCAD. Thank you Dan!
Thorough lesson plan that touched on a lot of basics of AutoCAD. Made us aware of unknown options that were available. Looking forward to taking Level 2.
Building on what is covered in the beginner course, this class helps students hone basic techniques while learning new relevant tools with an emphasis on how to solve common problems that will likely be encountered in a professional context; this class gives you what you need to navigate AutoCAD confidently.
This crash course was the perfect introduction to AutoCAD. Although fast-paced, the topics were explained well with attention given to helping students execute functions as easily and efficiently as possible.
Great experience! The small classes were great and the instructor was really passionate about teaching AutoCAD.
I enjoyed taking AutoCAD classes here. The classroom is clean, the instructor is quite helpful and knowledgeable, and every question I had was answered.
The teacher really cared about the growth of students and the pace was easy to follow.
Dan rocks—really great teacher! He brings the enthusiasm every day and breaks up the course well between teaching and individual exercises. Excited to take everything I learned and use it in the real world! I will definitely be signing up for the advanced AutoCAD course eventually!

Fantastic course! Expands on all concepts learned in the beginner course plus more.
Highly recommended! They provide all of the fundamental concepts for AutoCAD that make the program seem less scary. I am definitely taking another course here if I ever have the need in my profession. If they offer packages for training on a program, take them! This company gives you a sweet deal for the price, on top of a guarantee policy that allows you to take a course again within the span of a year in case you missed something or did not fully understand a concept.
Really loved this intro to design with AutoCAD. Going to be able to help out with my dad's business even more now!
Dan was great! Obvious that he loves what he does and is passionate about it. He answered all our questions and did not mind staying later to answer any other questions.
Take this class if you want to learn AutoCAD seriously and if you would like hands-on experience with experts. The step-by-step instructions in conjunction with the one-on-one help in this small class allowed me to create a unique understanding of AutoCAD and how to draw all different types of drawings. It also allowed me to interpret and edit templates, and create and insert blocks. This course really helped explain the nuance of AutoCAD and why it is important for the industries that use it to do it right, and it shows how to streamline the productivity of the industry by avoiding the pitfalls of many self-taught and non-specialists who use AutoCAD to communicate designs.

The Career Centers instructors are highly skilled communicators who really know their craft. They are wonderful about explaining and re-explaining when necessary and I never felt rushed or foolish for asking a question.
