Autodesk On-Demand Learner Profiles
Autodesk On-Demand is a self-study training solution that was designed for two types of learners. First, Autodesk On-Demand is a great fit for experienced professionals have some experience with Autodesk 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, Autodesk On-Demand is perfect for highly-motivated individuals who are new to Autodesk 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.
Prerequisites
Experience and knowledge in MEP engineering and its terminology along with a working knowledge of 3D design and task scheduling software is recommended. Knowledge of basic techniques is assumed. Additional prerequisites may be met by successfully completing each course in the order presented below. Note: The 2025 Civil 3D Object Enabler must be installed on the computer running Navisworks.
