AutoCAD On-Demand Learner Profiles
AutoCAD On-Demand is a self-study training solution that was designed for two types of learners. First, AutoCAD On-Demand is a great fit for experienced professionals who have some experience with AutoCAD and don't need traditional classes to upgrade their existing skills. They can pick and choose topics to make the most effective use of their time. Second, AutoCAD On-Demand is perfect for highly-motivated individuals who are new to AutoCAD and need to space their learning over a period of weeks or months. These learners can take their time and repeat sections as needed until they master the new concepts.
