Why train with CAD Masters?

There are a lot of ways to learn software. Here's what sets our training apart from online tutorials, generic courseware, and large training firms.

Authorized Autodesk Training Center

CAD Masters is an Autodesk Authorized Training Center, one of a select group of providers certified to deliver official Autodesk instruction. That credential isn't self-declared; it means our curriculum, instructors, and facilities meet Autodesk's own standards.

Curriculum Built Here, Not Bought

Every course, exercise, and project file has been written by our instructors, working professionals who use these tools every day. We've been refining this material since 1994. You won't find generic training-company content here.

Small Classes, Real Attention

We keep classes small so there's room for your questions and hands-on practice, with an instructor who can work with you directly.

Autodesk Certified Instructors

Every CAD Masters instructor is an Autodesk Certified Instructor, a credential that requires demonstrated proficiency verified by Autodesk. Our instructors are working professionals who use these tools on real projects — and one of them earned Autodesk's 2023 AEC Instructor of the Year award.
