Everything you need to know before you enroll — formats, class sizes, prerequisites, discounts, and more.
Frequently asked questions
Where are classes held?
In person at our Walnut Creek and Sacramento training centers, and live online via Zoom. Most courses are offered in both formats — pick whichever works for you.
What’s the difference between classroom and online training?
The curriculum and the instructors are identical. In our centers you work at a provided, fully-loaded workstation in a hands-on classroom. Online is live and interactive over Zoom — you can ask questions and share your screen — but you provide your own computer, Autodesk software, and internet connection.
How big are the classes?
Small, by design. In-person classes are capped at 12 seats so everyone gets individual attention and the instructor can help at your screen. Online classes are kept small and interactive as well.
Who teaches the classes?
Every class is led by an Autodesk Certified Instructor — working professionals who use these tools on real projects. One of our instructors earned Autodesk’s 2023 AEC Instructor of the Year award.
Are there prerequisites?
They vary by course — for example, Level 2 classes assume Level 1 knowledge. Each course page lists its prerequisites so you can choose the right starting point.
Do I get a discount as an Autodesk subscriber?
Yes. CAD Masters Autodesk subscribers receive a discount on our training. See the subscriber benefits page for details.
Can you train my whole team, or come on-site?
Absolutely. We offer custom and group training — on-site at your office or as a private live-online session — tailored to your team’s tools and workflows. Request a group quote and we’ll build a plan.
How do I pay? Can I be invoiced?
You can enroll and pay online by card. For invoicing, purchase orders, or group billing, contact us and we’ll set it up.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Life happens — contact us as early as you can and we’ll do our best to move you to a future session. Reach the training team at (925) 939-1378 or through our contact form.
