Stuart Oberto has been using AutoCAD for 24 years and has witnessed its evolution into the most popular industry-standard computer-aided drafting and design application. This course is your detailed introduction to the 2016 version of AutoCAD. Stuart begins with the basics of the user interface and leads you step-by-step to learning how to draw the kind of precise, measured 2D drawings that form the basis of design communication the world over. Along the way, you will learn how to create and modify geometry, layers, blocks, attributes, dimensions, layouts, and how to share your drawings with others.

Let's face it. The recession is not the best time to be job hunting, especially if you are a fresher with no experience. Huge unemployment figures translate to huge competition and getting your resume noticed over the masses can become quite hard. Taking AutoCAD (Computer Aided Design) training and adding a certificate to your resume can give it just that boost.
There is a huge market still for design and drafting jobs even in this slow economy. It's a popular misconception that computer aided design tools are used mainly by companies dealing with art, design or publishing. Today, these tools are used across the board by many businesses to maintain in house publications, design and drafting needs of huge corporations that otherwise don't deal in design. This means at any given time there are at least a few thousand job openings for CAD professionals. All of these jobs require knowledge of some design application software or the other. AutoCAD, being Windows based is most popular among these and makes for a most desirable skill to have. And it's possible to get AutoCAD training at a very low cost or even for free.
If you are wondering whether it's worth the investment, then there are two arguments to its favor. One, there is big demand for AutoCAD professionals in the job market and two, the duration of AutoCAD training can be as short as six days. You can pick up lot more than the basic use of this design application with these workshops. A certification may require a few more classes and an examination. Whether you have an aptitude for design or not, an additional skill can never hurt, especially while it is so kind to your pocket.
For those who are hard pressed for cash, it's possible to get AutoCAD training online for free. Simply Google "AutoCAD tutorials free". Most such tutorials are downloadable. If you are willing to spend a little more for a legitimate AutoCAD training, then there are discounted training materials available for students. While these courses are not comprehensive, they can help you lay a ground work for a proper certificated AutoCAD training. The basic knowledge gained from the free tutorials can spare you the additional cost of having to take the certification twice for a better score.
