CCAD's AutoCAD Training FAQ's

Where is CCAD's training facility?

CCAD leases conference rooms in Lake County, Ohio as needed to accommodate the size of the class.

What are the meeting times for CCAD's training courses?

Unless otherwise specified, AutoCAD training courses conducted at CCAD's facility begin at 8:30 am and end at approximately 4:00 pm. Lunch (not provided) is from 11:30 am ‑12:30 pm.

What is the typical class size for a CCAD AutoCAD training course?

AutoCAD training courses conducted at CCAD's location typically have 2‑5 participants. For the best learning environment, we recommend a maximum of 12 students for on‑site courses.

How long does it take to master AutoCAD?

It is very difficult to predict the amount of time that it will take for a person to become proficient using AutoCAD. Important factors are the individual's level of computer knowledge, the amount of time using AutoCAD and the frequency that AutoCAD is used. A computer savvy individual, using AutoCAD 15‑25 hours per week, every week, should become proficient in 6‑12 weeks.
