I personally like MOOCs or online courses, I have been following a course that has been on Lynda lately for 500$, what’s more amazing is that I have found another version of the same course with the same instructor on YOUTUBE for FREE:

Don’t thank me, go ahead start learning 😉

 

Will finish in 5 more days soon ( Hope so)

I was given an evaluation course from

http://www.globaletraining.ca/etraining-courses/product/autocad-advanced-2017-guided/

It was thorough. Its been a few years so i’m not sure how the course is these days. From what i remember it was a lecture/slide sort of interaction.

Id try something like Paul mentioned and if you find yourself needing more i might look into something like global e training or some local course at a reseller or community college.

Hi Paul, Thanks for your great suggestions. Some of those sites look excellent. Shout out to you too as your own Cadsetterout.com looks like a great resource for learners like me! I really appreciate your advice. Are there any YouTube channels you’d also recommend?

I can vouch for this one, I learned AutoCAD’s  Revit exclusively through Lynda and browsing through CAD forums. I find the best way to learn a program is to learn the basics and just Google anything else that you don’t know how to do.
