The instructor is out of this world. Thank you for all your help, Dan!
The course exceeded my expectations. I am competently using AutoCAD in my business after one week of the bootcamp!
Dan is an amazing instructor, he was patient, accommodating, and very knowledgeable about the software. It was a good class, and I would recommend to other people.
The instructor was great! I can't wait to take the next class with him. He was patient, informative and knowledgeable. The class materials were well put together and flowed very well.
I recently attended an AutoCAD training course in New York, and it was an excellent experience. The instructor was highly knowledgeable and very approachable, making the learning process both effective and enjoyable. The class was held in a welcoming and supportive environment where we were encouraged to ask questions comfortably. The teaching structure was well-organized, catering even to those with no prior knowledge of AutoCAD. The lessons were engaging, and the step-by-step approach ensured everyone could follow along and grasp the material. I appreciated how the instructor took the time to address individual concerns and clarify concepts thoroughly. Overall, I found the course to be highly educational, and I left with a solid understanding of AutoCAD. I would wholeheartedly recommend this training to anyone looking to learn AutoCAD, regardless of their starting experience level.
I'm very excited to have a beginner proficiency in AutoCAD and start practicing. I am pursuing a career in interior design and this is going to help me greatly in getting started. I cannot thank the instructor and Noble Desktop enough. Overall experience was 10/10.
This AutoCAD class was massively helpful in learning an idiosyncratic piece of software with a steep learning curve. I was banging my head against a wall in frustration when trying to learn on my own with YouTube. Having a real and very knowledgeable human being to direct my learning and to address my concerns was absolutely invaluable.
I loved every aspect of this class. All the necessary information was provided for any problem that could ever arise. The instructor also took the time to thoroughly explain all the information and ensure our understanding. Great professor, great person!
Fantastic learning experience in a nice, comfortable environment. It was a nice benefit to have water, coffee, and snacks available. The teacher is very good at explaining CAD concepts and tools, plus the most efficient ways to use the software. Exactly what I needed as a beginner.
The course was organized around understanding the program as opposed to using it, but I have been pleasantly surprised by how easy it is for me to use the program. Having a better understanding of how the program works has allowed me to produce construction drawings for a permit set. It's only been a month. I'm way better at organizing my project files.
I would definitely recommend the class. It got me into AutoCAD. Now I use it almost every day, and I'm getting pretty good at it.
Noble and, specifically, Dan Perico are outstanding. This course has taken me from a beginner to an intermediate AutoCAD operator. Dan takes the time to thoroughly explain each lesson and will answer any question that you can throw at him.
I had the pleasure of taking an online AutoCAD class via Zoom, and it exceeded my expectations. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and approachable, always taking the time to answer any questions we had. The course was well-organized, with the timing perfectly balanced between covering essential topics and providing hands-on practice. The content was comprehensive and delivered in a way that made complex concepts easy to understand. I gained a strong foundation in AutoCAD, and I feel confident using the skills I learned. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to advance their AutoCAD knowledge.
I recently completed the online AutoCAD Level I and II course, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, making complex concepts easy to understand. The course was well-structured, with a perfect blend of theory and practical exercises that helped me apply what I learned in real time. I especially appreciated the interactive elements. The flexibility of the online format allowed me to fit it perfectly into my busy schedule. Thanks to this course, I feel confident in my AutoCAD skills and ready to take on new projects at work. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their design abilities!
Good class for anyone who wants to start learning more about the AutoCAD software. Affordable, easy to understand, and well worth the time. Thanks!
The teacher was great, knowledgeable, and super involved in the teaching process. Equipment and facilities were top-notch, and even the free coffee was great. The application process was super simple and quick as well. Will totally recommend.
Dan has an abundance of information about AutoCAD. I learn something new every time I take one of his classes. It's a pleasure listening to him and learning under him.
Dan Perico was an amazing instructor. If I take another course, I would want it to be with him! Not only very knowledgeable but did a great job of teaching AutoCAD to both the Zoom students and the in-person students. He also to took time to make sure everyone understood the why behind the different functions and that there are multiple ways to solve a problem.
I knew nothing about AutoCAD walking into the door the first day. The instructor was really able to get a feel for the different levels of experience among students. He was able to help beginners like me and also the students who were not. He kept the class flowing. It gave me a great understanding of AutoCAD. I am going to take the intermediate and advanced classes in the future.
This is a great class, and the instructor knows AutoCAD very well.
This course covered the fundamentals of AutoCAD to form a strong, reliable foundation for more advanced classes.
There is a very decent amount of information covered, and the instructor is informative, detailed, and knowledgeable.
Professor Dan Perico is fantastic! His knowledge of the program and problem-solving guidance are priceless. He covered both books and even some more in 3 days and still had time to answer all our questions. I also enjoyed the clean and friendly atmosphere of the school. It was a great experience, and I can’t wait to take the following AutoCAD class here.
