FORT WORTH, Texas – As more and more industries are going high-tech, drafters with a working knowledge of AutoCAD have a clear advantage in the job field. Even the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that AutoCAD-trained professionals will have better prospects in securing a job and can earn more than $74,000 per year (http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos111.htm).
To provide the necessary skills and increase earning potential, Gatlin Education Services will offer a 150-hour online program staring in August 2008. The new AutoCAD 2009 course will be offered through Gatlin’s partnerships with more than 700 colleges and universities worldwide.
Taking a step-by-step approach to learning, AutoCAD 2009 will teach students the skills needed to create and edit simple drawings and gradually introduce more advanced AutoCAD skills. Upon completion of the course, students will have learned to work with 2D drawing and editing tools, objects on layers, text and basic dimensions. Course lessons instruct students on how to use efficiency tools, complex objects, advanced plotting and external reference/image files as well as how to enhance productivity with simple customizations. Enrolled students will receive the required textbook and a 13-month student license for AutoCAD 2009.
“AutoCAD is an essential tool in many industries, including mechanical and civil engineering, architecture, facilities planning and management,” said Stephen Gatlin, founder and CEO of Fort Worth-based Gatlin Education Services. “Employers seek workers skilled in AutoCAD more than any other CAD system.”
In an effort to boost summer enrollments, Gatlin will be offering a pre-registration discount of $200 for all students who register through July 31st for the new course.
