Training Courses For ProgeCAD
ProgeCAD training
ProgeCAD is a more cost-effective alternative to AutoCAD, the most commonly used desktop CAD draughting application. It’s used across a wide range of industries, by architects, engineers, project managers, graphic designers and many other professionals. The interface is almost identical to AutoCAD, meaning the user can switch between the two with ease. It is able to create, edit and distribute the AutoCAD format file so users of either application can edit the file.
All ProgeCAD training courses are instructor-led at your site or scheduled (contact us for more information) and include PC Hire, course notes and exercises PLUS six months' post-course support. All courses can be customised to your needs at no extra cost.
