Course Review
I just wanted to email you and thank you very much for the excellent course that you recently presented online for the 6 days of the 2D Essentials course that we finished last Friday 5th March . The course was very well structured , prepared and executed with great explanation in detail which flowed at a lovely pace allowing sufficient time to digest each topic, which has left me with a far greater knowledge for using the basic essential tools in Autocad . This course has greatly improved my knowledge and use of the autocad tool and I greatly appreciate the way in which you have educated me to getting more from the autocad which will greatly aid me in both my professional work and personal use of the autocad . I look forward to undertaking the intermediate course of autocad in the future some time . I want to wish you all the best , and I look forward to the next time we will cross paths on a course again.
Thanking you again, Harry Reynolds
