Description

Course Details:

Please note this is a combined course offering both 2D Fundamentals & 3D Design TurboCAD Training at a discounted price.

2D Fundamentals Training:

This beginners course covers all fundamentals of TurboCAD as well as 2D design methods using 2D drawing and modify tools. The objective of the TurboCAD 2D Fundamentals course is to enable trainees to get started in TurboCAD. The course starts at switching on your TurboCAD for the first time but moves on to more advanced functions like creating a drawing, putting it on a layout and printing your drawing, just to mention a few. We introduce tools in a systematic fashion throughout the course and embed and practice them using practical exercises

3D Design Training:

This course introduces trainees to the 3D modelling environment in TurboCAD. An array of 3D drawing, design and modify tools are covered in a practical manner using practical exercises. All 3D fundamentals are covered as well as some advanced 3D modelling. To complete this course successfully, trainees has to be proficient in TurboCAD 2D Fundamentals.

Please note that this course is based on TurboCAD for Windows. This course requires a stable internet connection. Includes TurboCAD 2D Fundamentals ebook, TurboCAD 3D Introduction to drawing ebook & Drawing packs for both 2D & 3D Designs. View the requirements tab for more details.

You will also be provided with an attendance certificate upon successful completion.

Note all course content will be provided to you in video format on completion of the course in the format of daily video sessions. This allows you to review the course contents in your own time and should you miss a course date(s), you will still have access to the same course content as other participating attendees. Note a TurboCAD trainer will also be available to answer all your questions should you miss a training session and wish to catch up on the training content.
