EGD CAD Course Outline
The objective of AutoCAD Introductory course for EGD pupils is to expose pupils to the power of CAD and enable them to create a basic 2D drawing in the AutoCAD software. Even at this introductory level, the AutoCAD software is one of the most sophisticated computer applications that you are likely to encounter. Therefore, learning to use it can be challenging.
In this introductory course you will cover the essential core topics for working with AutoCAD software. The teaching strategy is to start with a few basic tools that enable the student to create and edit a simple drawing, and then continue to develop those tools.
This course is now available on our Online Learning Platform, meaning learning will still take place via a Blended Environment, all from the comfort of your home. In its simplest form, blended learning is a style of education in which students learn via electronic and online media as well as traditional face-to face teaching.
