MidpointCAD, LLC offers customized classes to suit your needs. If you are the type of user that knows too much for a full-blown class at the big training centers and wish that you could just learn the parts of the software you are weak on, THEN WE HAVE A CLASS FOR YOU!

Our specialty is putting together classes that teach only the bits you need. We understand that your time is valuable. Tell us what parts of the software you work on and we will take it from there. We also offer classes that teach the “hot” topics of the day. Classes that focus on productivity and management. We understand that CAD managers need some help from time to time, as well. We haven’t forgotten you.

Our classes are taught by Certified Instructors with both real world and instruction backgrounds. Instructors that understand what you need to know to get your job done faster!

For your convenience, we offer AutoCAD training classes on weekdays and evenings. You can either attend classes at our training center or have them held at your site. We are also happy to customize the class content to fit your specific training needs.
