- R asked: Background...I am currently teaching a beginning AutoCAD class, but would like to increase my comfort level working with AutoCAD. It has been over years since I worked on the computer, so I have had to quickly relearn some cad basics. Currently working with AutoCAD , but will be moving to next year. What version are you using to teach the class? How much is the class? Where is the class located? How long is the class and hours? When is the next class offered?
- M asked: Hello. The link to "take this course" appears to lead to a non-existing page. I am interested in taking the PowerUser AutoCAD course and would like more info on how this can be accomplished. Is the course web-based or do you actually have a physical classroom? What is the "expert level" course which is listed as a prerequisite? Would I HAVE to take it before the "PowerUser Level?" If so - how and where? Do you have a location in New York if this isn't only a web-based course? Please respond.
- Y asked: Hello, I was wondering if an onsite classroom type of training can be provided to one of our clients with us as a reseller.

We're also interested in providing Word, Excel and Project training in a similar fashion. Is this something your company would be able to provide?
