My name is Willie Coker and I recently took a 24 hour AutoCAD course with Rick Feineis as my instructor.

Extremely satisfied with CAD Training Online, and the one on one help I received. My instructor was world-class and tailored the AutoCAD Electrical class to meet my company's needs. I would highly recommend this class to my peers.

For years I thought that CAD was something I didn't need and couldn't learn but I was wrong, CAD Training Online was exactly what I needed. I not only learned a lot about CAD but I am furthering my education with them going into AutoCAD MEP, REVIT Architectural and REVIT MEP. Rick is a great guy and a great trainer.
