Based in Adelaide, South Australia and also operating in Canberra ACT, we specialize in the delivery of targeted software training, face-to-face or online. Experience highly focused training in a wide range of disciplines through a combination of a needs analysis and a unique and flexible, broadband distance learning system which mimics and complements the face-to-face experience. Defining your needs accurately and then using distance learning, reduces time spent away from work and eliminates travel costs.

Courses

For information about a particular course, choose a category above [Adobe, CAD, Microsoft etc.] and select a course from the drop down menu. There you can view the syllabus and trial some of our learning materials. We specialize in CAD training (AutoCAD, IntelliCAD, GardenCAD, SketchUp, dCAD), but also cover the use of most commonly used business software - InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Word, etc. etc. Wherever possible, we encourage you to work towards digital delivery of design work.

Carbon Neutral

" Ever since the industrial revolution, global energy consumption has exploded, and it's not letting up. Using all this energy results in carbon emissions, and this is affecting the Earth's climate. If we want to slow climate change, we need to think in new ways .."

Steen Riisgaard, Novozymes 2008.

At Design CAD, we are committed to finding innovative solutions for delivering training. Many of our students live in remote and very remote areas and cannot attend conventional software training so distance learning is the only option. Even though they may live in a major centre, others do not want to be in a competitive group or classroom situation, they like the focus and flexibility that our system offers.

Email comments from some users:

'Thank you so much for the course. I have had a chance to do one hour so far. I find this course so clear. The way you have set it up has taken away all the resistance I had to learning the software while trying to use the Microsoft tutorial (either CD or booklet).  At each step of your course I experience the realization that this is an easy and friendly program, after all. If you like I will send more feedback as I progress through the course.'

'The course is great, very detailed and allowing me to grasp better, lots of 'CAD' info.'

 'The short movies are really useful. As the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words". I admire the way you are able to combine your computer skills with your CAD skills to provide a course like this.'

'Please find attached the piece of work I did yesterday in InDesign. It almost took me ages to complete but saved my company some cash! I will get faster I’m sure as it is becoming easier. I still have a lot to learn but I am so enjoying it, I am in danger of neglecting my more menial tasks! Thanks for your really great training. One on one worked brilliantly for me and I could tell so much work had gone into your delivery method of teaching on-line. I was really impressed.'
