Our AutoCAD Training workshops are generally small with limited seating providing participants with a customized, tutorial environment. Personalized, practical training has always been the key to CCAD's AutoCAD Training workshops. Our AutoCAD Training workshops include plenty of hands-on exercises and one-on-one time with the instructor.

Practical Experience

The lead trainer for CCAD inc., Cindy Dunn, has been teaching AutoCAD to engineering professionals since 1986. Cindy learned AutoCAD while working as an industrial designer. Excited by the new technology, she started CCAD inc. in 1986 to help companies make the transition from a paper to electronic drawing world. CCAD's Drafting and Design Services group provide a real-world setting for our trainers to explore new AutoCAD features and techniques, implementing the most effective ideas.
