• Live online training

  Live online training lets you participate in a real AutoCAD Plant 3D course from your place of work or home.

  We do everything possible to make your online training experience as close as possible to actually being in the classroom. You can:

  • See and hear our trainer and other delegates participating in the AutoCAD Plant 3D training…
    
  • Interact by speaking, using chat, or raising your ‘virtual hand’ if you need assistance.
  • Share your screen with our trainer.

  We endeavour to provide you with the best online training experience…

  • Online AutoCAD Plant 3D courses are presented by Autodesk Certified Instructors, following the same syllabus as our classroom-based courses.
  • You receive comprehensive training materials.
  • Your training is hands-on. You carry out assisted exercises using AutoCAD Plant 3D.
  • If you don’t have access to AutoCAD Plant 3D software, we’ll send you a link to fully-functional trial software that you can download and install.
  • You’re entitled to 30 days’ email support from your trainer.

  When you attend live online training, you’re participating in a real course, hosted by a real trainer, in real time.
