“Rick was my instructor during an AutoCAD 2010 course I recently took. His teaching skills were above and beyond the expectations I had. AutoCAD can be a difficult program to learn in general, but Rick's experience and teaching capabilities made it a comfortable and fun experience. I plan to continue my AutoCAD education utilizing this type of course with Rick as the instructor. I also highly recommend anyone who is interested in AutoCAD to contact him. The instruction and education Rick can provide is absolutely superb.” - Cindy Muys - Production Administrator , AVI-SPL
