What a great way to learn AutoCAD…customized to my busy schedule and from the comfort of my own computer! Rick Feineis was a wonderful instructor. He took all of my input on what I needed/wanted to learn, in order to use AutoCAD in my workplace, and put together a very tailored course, just for me. All of the instruction was very well explained and easy to understand. He was very patient and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend CAD Training Online’s AutoCAD training for Interior Designers to anyone!

Thanks to you I showed one coworker my Revit rendering with my Google Cardboard glasses and ended up in the President’s office showing him. They all think I’m a genius & it’s because of you!

I too endorse Rick Feineis as a premier Revit Mentor. Rick’s excellent communication skills, in depth knowledge of the software and his ability to customize teaching sessions to fit my needs went beyond my expectations. Don’t waste your time with anyone else!

I was hesitant of having an online training course, but this Revit course I’ve had with CAD Training Online cleared away all my hesitation and I’m extremely satisfied with this experience. Rick Feineis is a great instructor. He was very helpful and customized the course to fit my schedule and needs. His knowledge and experience in CAD and BIM programs and in training made the course easy, comprehensible and interesting. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning Revit remotely.

Willie Coker

My name is Willie Coker and I recently took a 24 hour AutoCAD course with Rick Feineis as my instructor. I learned so much in so little time. Rick was able to teach me AutoCAD specifically in just what I requested for the line of work that I do for living.

Right after I designed a fire sprinkler system I submitted the plans to two separate plan reviewers and both of the plan reviewers signed off on them approving my fire sprinkler design. That is awesome!

After completing AutoCAD training with Rick Feineis a couple of months ago, there was not a moment of doubt to continue with the Revit training. I learned a lot, it was fun and Rick is very skilled, passionate in what he does and a great teacher! Still amazed that thanks to modern technology (and a teacher who is willing to wake up at 6am on a Sunday because of time difference) I was lucky enough to be able to work with such a skilled teacher all the way here in Dubai!

Looking for a BIM Manager expert to help you to improve your business productivity? Rick Feineis is the best way to go.

Dear Interior Designers, forget about AutoCAD and try Revit. Using this program you will save a lot of time and the end result will be great!

Irina Scherb
Adam Carroll

I would strongly recommend this course to absolutely anyone who is interested in learning the basics of AutoCAD. Even those who have limited computer skills can learn from Rick. All concepts are clearly explained with helpful examples, and Rick makes sure every student understands before moving on to the next topic. Even after the course, Rick makes it easy to ask questions via email or phone and responds quickly. I’m very likely to look into a more advanced course with Rick in the future!
