Course Description

This course is made with a complete beginner in mind and it will help you learn AutoCAD right from the basics.

About the instructor

I am a published author of bestseller AutoCAD book by Packt publication and also a certified Autodesk AutoCAD professional and member of Autodesk expert elite community. I have worked in the design and training industry and I have trained clients from corporates as well as colleges.

What's in this course

This course starts from scratch assuming you know nothing about AutoCAD whatsoever and it will gradually take you to all the basic, intermediate and advanced topics in a step by step way.

The course is project-based and video lessons are made with the practical application of tools and commands in mind. The course is primarily divided into three parts:

Part 1 is Practical video lessons that are based on real-world application of tools and commands.

Part 2 is Practice exercises related to modules with detailed video descriptions of answers.

Part 3 is Multiple choice question type quizzes with answers to assess course performance.

What you can expect at the end of this course

Once you are through this course you will be able to make your own drawings using simple and advanced tools of AutoCAD like polylines, arcs, circles and you will be able to fully dimension them as well as per drawing standards. You will also be well equipped to use drawing management tools like layers and you can make use of a ready-made set of symbols using a block library and external references.

Finally, you can also modify and print existing drawings using your own settings. So, in a nutshell, you will be able to use AutoCAD inside out once you are done with this course.

Who should enrol in this course

If you are a civil, electrical, mechanical engineer, architect, woodworker, interior designer or hobbyist who just wants to learn the software from scratch then this course is for you.

Instructor support

Whenever you have a subject matter question you can post it in the Q&A forum and I will answer your questions as soon as possible. So, with the course, you not only get the video lessons but also quick and responsive support from the instructor.

Pre-requisites for the course

There are no pre-requisites for the course but you need to have access to AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT software on Windows operating system. The course is not compatible with AutoCAD Mac users. If you are a student you can get your free copy of your AutoCAD student license from Autodesk though you may need to check the eligibility first.

This AutoCAD course is an excellent choice for beginners who want to learn from scratch. The project-based approach makes learning practical and engaging, helping to understand real-world applications rather than just theory. The video lessons are well-structured and easy to follow, even for someone with no prior experience. The practice exercises reinforce the concepts effectively, and the quizzes help in evaluating understanding at each stage. Overall, the course builds confidence step by step and provides a solid foundation in AutoCAD. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to start their journey in AutoCAD.

By Bevan Randall on 7/8/2025

This course is a very informative course. I personally think it is an excellent course for individuals that are new to AutoCAD and highly recommended it to AutoCAD uses. A big thank you to the author of the course for taking the time to prepare such an excellent practical course. Thank you, may God bless you.

Very well laid out material, and has rapidly gotten me up to speed to be better suited for my new position. Glad I went with this course!

Mr. Jai structured the course in well manner with the help of drawing he created. You will understand better the tools used. I already familiar with the AutoCad, just to refresh. When you good at understand the basic, then it will train you to work smart when at high level

This course was a good overall review of AutoCAD. I found the course useful because I have used AutoCAD in the past but I needed a refresher course which I could work through at my own pace. Everything was presented clearly. I thought that the exercises at the end of each section were appropriate, but I thought that the quizzes could be better. They were too short and sometimes the questions didn’t reflect the major learning points of the section.

By Jeri Martin on 12/15/2022

This course was perfect in my journey in self education in AutoCad. I have learned so much and feel comfortable in using my new skills for my job.

By Aimee Smitter on 12/6/2022

So far so good. I have no auto cad experience whats so ever and am very exciting about learning the basics. So far this is easy to follow.

By Ryan Hatami on 11/21/2022

By Lisa G. Figueroa on 6/28/2022

Great teaching style; very easy to follow at the beginning but gets more complex around the middle section. Feels like drinking from a fire hydrant. stick with it and replay as needed.
