I'm quite happy with the course. I love being able to take the course over Zoom AND have access to recorded sessions to review, as my work schedule isn't very flexible.

Lila T.

Dan is great - very knowledgeable and makes concepts easy to understand. It's great having a text written by the instructor. It makes going over the exercises even easier.

Timothy R.

Timothy R.

I really enjoyed the AutoCAD Masterclass. It made learning the software feel approachable and actually fun. I came away feeling way more confident using the tools and ready to start applying what I learned to real projects.

Miles Wheeler

Very knowledgeable, patient, and engaging instructor. There wasn't a question he couldn't answer in the classroom. Also, Dan was very patient in repeating himself, redoing an exercise, or giving instructions if a student didn't understand or needed extra help. He clearly knows AutoCAD inside out and teaches based on principle/theory/foundation rather than rote exercises. Also, Dan is one of the most energetic and engaging instructors I've had, and I did not find myself bored by any dry lectures ever. This class is definitely worth it, and my retention of the material, as well as the experience of the class, is great!

Michelle G.

Love the books, classes, exercises as they are focused on principle/theory/foundation + shortcuts that are critical for industry. The book was super easy to follow along, love the bolding and highlights. The exercises were fun, diverse, relevant, and engaging, not boring at all, while covering a plethora of topics.

Michelle G.

Dan is great and able to break down concepts into easier steps to understand and follow.
