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 a fundamental tool for engineers, architects, and designers, allowing them to create precise 2D and 3D drawings for a wide range of applications. Mastering AutoCAD enhances productivity, improves design accuracy, and streamlines drafting workflows. This training program is designed to equip participants with essential AutoCAD skills, from basic commands to advanced drafting techniques.

Through hands-on exercises, real-world projects, and expert guidance, participants will gain practical experience in using AutoCAD efficiently for design and documentation purposes.

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

• Understand the AutoCAD interface and essential tools.
• Create, modify, and annotate 2D drawings.
• Utilize layers, blocks, and templates for efficient drafting.
• Apply dimensioning and text annotations correctly.
• Convert 2D drawings into basic 3D models.
• Optimize workflows through customization and shortcut techniques.

• Engineers and Draftsmen
• Architects and Interior Designers
• Construction and Civil Engineers
• Mechanical and Electrical Designers
• Students and Beginners in CAD Design
• Anyone looking to enhance their AutoCAD proficiency

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 Scandinavian Academy for Training and Development 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.
