AutoCAD On-Demand Learner Profiles
AutoCAD On-Demand is a flexible, self-paced training solution designed to meet the needs of two types of learners.
First, it is ideal for experienced professionals who already have some familiarity with AutoCAD and prefer to skip classroom settings. These users can focus on specific topics, allowing them to efficiently enhance their skills on their own schedule.
Second, AutoCAD On-Demand is well suited for motivated beginners who are new to the software. It enables them to learn at their own pace over weeks or months with the ability to revisit and repeat lessons until they fully grasp each concept.
ONLC Extras
ONLC Training Centers bundles in valuable extras with our AutoCAD On-Demand Courses. These extras are not available from other training companies.
ACU Certification Bundle Upgrade Option. Our AutoCAD On-Demand classes come with the option of bundling in ACU exam prep software and an exam voucher (with 1 free retake). Students must schedule when and where they will take the exam through Certiport, the AutoCAD testing service. For details, see:
