The Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development adopts the latest scientific and professional methodologies in training and human resource development, aiming to enhance the efficiency of individuals and organizations. Training programs are delivered through a comprehensive approach that includes:

• Theoretical lectures supported by PowerPoint presentations and visual materials (videos and short films).
• Scientific evaluation of participants before and after the program to measure progress and knowledge acquisition.
• Brainstorming sessions and practical role-playing to simulate real-life scenarios.
• Case studies tailored to align with the training content and participants work nature.
• Assessment tests conducted at the end of the program to evaluate the achievement of training objectives.

Each participant receives the training material (both theoretical and practical) in printed form and saved on a CD or flash drive. Detailed reports, including attendance records, final results, and overall program evaluations, are also provided.

Training materials are prepared professionally by a team of experts and specialists in various fields. At the end of the program, participants are awarded a professional attendance certificate, signed and accredited by the Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development.

Program Timings:

• 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM in Arab cities.
• 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM in European and Asian cities.

The program includes:

• A daily buffet provided during the sessions to ensure participants comfort.

Course Introduction:

AutoCAD is an essential tool for engineers, architects, and designers, allowing them to create precise 2D and 3D drawings. Advanced knowledge of AutoCAD enhances efficiency, precision, and project execution. This training program is designed for professionals who want to master advanced drafting techniques, 3D modeling, automation, and customization to optimize their workflows.

Through hands-on exercises, real-world case studies, and expert guidance, participants will develop the skills needed to efficiently work on complex projects using AutoCAD.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Customize AutoCAD settings and automate repetitive tasks using scripts and macros.
• Apply dynamic blocks and attributes to streamline design workflows.
• Manage large-scale projects with external references (Xrefs) and sheet sets.
• Perform high-quality rendering and visualization of 3D models.
• Integrate AutoCAD with other software for improved collaboration.

Target Audience:

• Experienced AutoCAD users looking to enhance their skills.
• Engineers, architects, and CAD professionals.
• Construction and manufacturing professionals.
• Project managers and BIM coordinators.
• Anyone involved in complex drafting and design projects.

The Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development is committed to hosting all training programs in dedicated and well-equipped hotel facilities specifically designed for conducting and delivering training sessions, unless explicitly stated otherwise on our website. Participants will be notified of the program venue within 7 to 21 days prior to the programs start date, based on the Academys assessment and the programs circumstances. The Academy emphasizes that it holds no responsibility for any force majeure events that may prevent the program from being held at the designated venue. Nevertheless, the Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development will make every effort to provide suitable alternatives and extend the necessary support to participants in the event of a venue change due to unforeseen circumstances.
