Reviews for AutoCAD Classes in NYC

AutoCAD Classes in NYC are rated 4.4 stars based on 222 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • Very thorough class, excellent instructor.
  • The teacher was fantastic. He gave thorough, succinct descriptions of the commands within the AutoCAD software, interspersed with folksy bromides and the anecdotes of an entertaining life. Enjoyed the class and learned a lot. Thanks!
  • Joe is an amazing instructor, I went into the class with great concern that my lack of computer skills would make the class difficult. Joe was easy to follow and made the class interesting and fun, the 7 hour class flew by. I definitely recommend the class for first timers or those just trying to polish up on their skills.
  • Joe was an outstanding teacher! Very engaging, incredibly experienced & the energy of the class was very positive. He has some funny stories that he will share throughout the class as well. I would highly recommend this class for anyone wanting to begin their AutoCad education. Hoping to come back for level 2 or to attend remotely soon.
  • Pretty good overview. Small class - if you aren't great at learning software, you should take more than once.
  • Class was so easy to follow and Joe was amaizng!
  • Joe was a great instructor and really made the class easy to follow and the program understandable.
  • Great basics course. Helpful workbook that can be used as a refresher anytime after class. This course helped me decipher my company as-builds and drawings better and perform edits more efficiently.
  • Joe was great, learned a lot!
  • This course was GREAT with an amazing teacher, I highly recommend it. AutoCAD is such an intimidating program but Joe D was able to articulate everything you needed to know so well that it put me at ease. The pace of the class was great, he made sure to ask questions that kept you thinking while keeping you engaged. Joe mentioned he'd been teaching AutoCAD for 30+ years but after three days I could swear he birthed this program, that's how deep his knowledge goes. What truly impressed me was how he seems to know everything about CAD and is still wants to know more. E.g. I had mentioned I was going to be using AutoCAD for Mac and he even asked if I could just let him know what the differences are. Wow That's an educator! I'm eager to learn more from him and so I've just signed up for the next Level 2 course I can take.
  • I really loved this class! As someone who has long been intimidated by CAD, I was so pleasantly surprised to pick up so much, so quickly with the help of our instructor, Joe D. Joe is hilarious, smart, and the boy does the man KNOW CAD! I don’t mean he understands it, he knows the software inside and out, buoyed by 30+ years of using it in professional and academic settings. He teaches in a way that helps develop skills and techniques that are marketable because he also teaches to professionals in the “real world”. He has fun teaching, which means you have fun learning, which means you learn a lot. Simple as that. This class is 110% worth it. Highly, highly recommend.
  • I had no experience using AutoCAD and I found the class to be really informative. The teacher made the subject matter very clear and easy to understand.
  • Joe is a great teacher!! He made AutoCAD really simple and easy to understand. Joe was also super helpful with any questions from students!
  • Chris is very thorough and professional. I recommend this class to beginners
  • Great instructor!
  • Joe’s an excellent teacher
  • Excellent Professor
  • Excellent class. Professor Fong crams an impressive amount of content within the 2 classes, and gives the students a good time to practice as well as individual attention during practice time.
  • Joe was excellent! Would highly recommend him. He was patient, engaging and made the course fun.
  • Joe the instructor was awesome. He made the class fun and no so monotone. Will recommend this course to others.
  • Instructor is very thorough and, just as importantly, very experienced in AutoCAD. He goes over each concept a few times, so if you get lost, just follow what he does and when he explains it again, you’ll catch up. He is still also very responsive to questions. As a previous user of AutoCAD, I still learned a lot of tips and tricks to increase productivity.
  • Very efficient class,almost covered everything.
  • The instructor, Ernesto Fong was excellent! His method was very clear and he made it very exciting to learn the program. Looking forward to taking the next level class! Sincerely, Damon Santiago
  • I took the first level a year ago. I was unable to take this level directly afterward because of scheduling, but I am so glad to have taken it again. Very efficiently run and immersive.
  • Great and super informative!
  • Joe was an awesome teacher! He was easy to follow, kind, funny, and super knowledgable. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in taking this course! You will absolutely not regret it.
  • This was truly a great class. Super helpful and the professor DeChiaro is the best! He makes a difficult subject easy to digest and he's able to provide a lot of real-world examples.
  • Joe was fantastic. Looking forward to the level 3 course with Joe.
  • Introduction to AutoCAD®

    Mr. Ramirez is an excellent teacher for AutoCad. He had a realistic syllabus for the semester and was fully prepared for each class. His teaching skills showed how well versed he is in all areas of the subject, be it for a beginner or if considering an advanced class. He was thorough and patient with each student, happy to repeat anything which someone may not have fully grasped the first time discussed and demonstrated.
  • Joe is a fantastic instructor who keeps the class engaging and interesting. I have taken two courses with him so far and look forward to the level 3 course. Highly recommend him and this class
  • The instructor, Joseph, was terrific. He made it interesting and easy.
  • I'm so glad I found you. You are very responsible toward your students. You are good people. This is one of the best educational experiences of my life. I wish all learning institutions took responsibility for instruction the way MEWShop does.
  • A priceless experience you will never forget! I can't stress enough how nice and supportive the whole staff is and how they make the learning experience productive, complete, natural, and over all Inspirational!
  • I just wanted to write you and say thanks for the wonderful experience at MEWShop. I wish it never had to end. The instructors there are AWESOME and I am so happy that I made the decision to take the class with you guys. Really thorough and professional and I was very satisfied
  • AutoCAD Advanced

    This class was great!! the instructor, Robert Buzzard, was a great professor and would highly recommend him to anyone. He has much passion for the subject and is always happy to assist with any problems his students have. Should I take another class by Certstaffix, I would hope to learn under Robert once again.
  • AutoCAD Advanced

    Mr. Buzzard did a great job for the 2nd time!
  • AutoCAD Advanced

    Instructor was informed on all topics and even answered out of the box questions to certain working environments. I would be interested in taking Civil3D or Architectural3D from this instructor.
  • AutoCAD Essentials

    Robert Buzzard was a very knowledgeable and patient instructor. I was surprised with his punctuality yet his attention to each students questions was remarkable. I have been resistant to online courses for a long time and this was my first attempt. Instructor "Buzz" made this one of the best instruction experiences I have ever had. I look forward to taking additional classes with Mr. Buzzard.
  • AutoCAD Essentials

    Stephen was an excellent instructor in my opinion. I was one of two people in the class that have no AutoCAD experience and he took the time to go through the different commands and steps when we needed clarification. Those in class that had prior experience with AutoCAD also learned new and more efficient ways of doing things as well. He also tailored the class to our needs and what is applicable to our jobs which was very good. Great instructor!
  • AutoCAD Essentials

    I was fortunate to attend the course with one other student. Our instructor, Paul Burgener, worked with both of our strengths and weaknesses and made this class work. He is a great resource for both you and the student offering his assistance any time even when the class is complete. Paul was always early to open up the class dialog and was willing to stay late which he did with me. I could not be more than pleased.
  • my teacher Joe was incredible. Great class.
  • Great class:)
  • Great class for beginers
  • This is a very good class. The teacher is knowledgeable and you cover a lot of material.
  • Phil is an excellent teacher and really knows how to explain this class even to someone who hasn't touched it ever before
  • The teacher was really knowledgeable and I got everything I expected out of it. The only problem was the level difference among students. It's a beginner class, yes, but some people struggled with basic computer commands. I was surprised. It ended up holding the class back many times. But I'm not sure there's a great solution for the first level course.
  • Great class for a refresher. I highly recommend this class to those with experience in AutoCAD and in need to refresh their skills at an intermediate level.
  • I took this class to refresh my AutoCAD memory from 10 years ago and it couldn't be better. Fast clear course with attention to the vital details. Money well spent.
  • Learned enough basic tools for a strong foundation. Was able to understand the concept of autocad. Great teacher!
  • Joe was knowledgable and very helpful. Learned so much!
