I enjoyed taking AutoCAD classes here. The classroom is clean, the instructor is quite helpful and knowledgeable, and every question I had was answered.

Ahmad Abushunar

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.

Owen White

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.

Andrew Neuburger

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!

Cory Brakebill

This class was a great investment. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone looking to beef up their AutoCAD skills. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and gave 1-on-1 attention for any problems that came up.

Luke Lourigan

Very satisfied with the class. The instructor is hands-on, gives you many pointers, and takes you through a variety of material - giving you a real background in AutoCAD.
