Sessions

Good office location. The course totally met my expectations. The training met my expectations and even beyond. Very good pedagogy, listening knows how to adapt. Very good relationship with high trainer, the training is pleasant and goes all at once.

Very clean premises Equipment in good working order Good organization, and good logic in discovering Autocad's functionalities. Discovery of orders in line with my needs (architectural plans). Trainer: Good pedagogy.

Very good working environment, very welcoming team Very good training for an initiation and first handling but not enough advanced for my demand for perfection in drawing (designer training?) The training is more a training of handling and discovery of the software. I think I was at the wrong level, I thought more training on clean drawing rather than software discovery Very good patient trainer who takes the time to interest everyone. very welcoming and available!

The working conditions are very comfortable. Discovering for the first time the content "Autocad", the technicality of the software induces a condensed and rhythmic program which makes it difficult to follow the courses. / The quality of the trainer is indisputable. He juggles according to these possibilities between the program to be transmitted to the trainees and the additional time to be devoted to additional explanations. New to "Autocad", an additional day will have favored better learning conditions. This program is intended above all for informed people.

Perfect individual equipment, bright and spacious classroom, few trainees, therefore very good conditions. The sustained pace was very good since it allowed us to learn about the many possibilities, and that afterwards we can automate certain practices. The trainer responded to each of our requests, without exception, while remaining very well organized and cordial. I had a good experience, a little stressful at the time but already profitable.
