During the course you will learn:
  • Understanding the user interface and basics of creating drawings.

  • Modifying commands, customising Properties and Layers

DraftSight Essentials Training
Was a well planned course, with aspects explained with case studies, before completing examples to test the new skills learnt. Utkarsh was very helpful, any issues or help with other aspects on Draftsight, he was happy to look into and get back to us with with answers. Also learnt some handy shortcuts and methods of making the interface more personal to make it easier to use.

DraftSight Essentials Training
very amicable support engineer, who explained everything very well.
DraftSight Essentials Training
I found the support offered was good and concise and any issues raised was always answered
DraftSight Essentials Training
Overall the course was good, however I feel like it would be better to offer more in person options, we spent a lot of time in the activity sections waiting for other people to finish, in person we may have been able to interact with the instructor more and gain more form the course.
Also, although it is a basics course, it would be good if there was a 'beginners' one and an 'experienced' one. This could provide better support for those who have either never done CAD or used the software but then also mean that people who have used the software have a better opportunity to ask questions based round their experience without taking away from others.
DraftSight Essentials Training
The trainer was very nice and approachable. Their knowledge of the software appeared sufficient with most questions being answered swiftly. They did not encourage conversation nor review the progress of the attendees.
DraftSight Essentials Training
I enjoyed the course and found parts very useful. The trainer was great very helpful and happy to explain things in more detail if need be!
Great course and would recommend to anyone, Solid Solutions are a great company who have been very helpfully from start to finish!
DraftSight Essentials Training
Very good course. Training can move to fast if you don't have much experience and others have been using it for a few years. It does need 2 large screens for the course, one to see the course and the other for the exercises.
DraftSight Essentials Training
very clear in imforative

Gordon was very friendly, knew his material and took the time to explain it if we did not catch on right away. He was funny and made the very early morning/day go by quickly. i would highly recommend his training to anyone.
DraftSight Essentials Training
Very well presented, knowledgable and relaxed. Answered all of my questions effectively even suplying several solutions in most cases.
DraftSight Essentials Training
Very good and aways happy to go over things again
DraftSight Essentials Training
This was my first online training course so I wasn't sure what to expect. Gordon was a great trainer. He was very patient and helpful if you were stuck with something or had any questions. He was always happy to go back over things and constantly made sure everyone was happy with where we were up to.
DraftSight Essentials Training
I found the course good, but also found it difficult being a beginner having not used Draftsight at all. The difficulty was the pace of the sessions, was a little to fast and felt i was behind all the time. A positive though is the handout book, allowed me to do the whole training again offline at my own pace when the session was completed the first time.
DraftSight Essentials Training
I thoroughly enjoyed the training and found it to be very useful. However, would have preferred a classroom based course.
DraftSight Essentials Training
Very well explained, fun 2 days

Steve was very helpful, informative and made me feel welcome. I came away with a better understanding of draftsight and have been able to put what i'd learnt to good use. Would definitely recommend and if there are any updates, i'd be up for it!
DraftSight Training
Steve was knowledgeable, friendly and made the course a breeze.
DraftSight Training
Really impressed with the course and the instructors. The teacher/student ratio was fantastic so I was able to ask questions specific to my needs/future use of the software as we went along. This meant I got exactly what I needed out of the 2 days. Lovely offices and a decent lunch provided. I will definitely use them again.
DraftSight Training
very professional throughout, easy to talk to and explained all aspects with great detail.
