Training Help/Advice

Hi all, I appologize in advanced if this isn't the appropriate forum for this type of question.

 

Our company is looking for training in Autodesk Civil 3d.  We contacted a local re-seller, but unfortunately their quote was higher than our company can absorb at this time with the economy.  Is there a public list that has certified trainers in different market areas?  We are located about 40 minutes North of the Philadelphia area.  Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide.

In this case I would think that Google is your friend for locating these services.

When Brian wakes up out in Colorado (providing he is not burned out) he may drop in with his ON-Line training service.

Have you tried Locate an ATC or Locate a Resseller ?

I did try that and it did not produce any results for me.

You can give Michael Farrell a shout at mjfarrell AT earthlink DOT net . He travels to your location and is quite thorough, using your data so you know it will work for your specific workflows. I have no stake in his services, nor have I actually obtained training from him. I have been acquaintances with him for a number of years and I know those who have used him say he's well worth the cost. Right now he's in Qatar but is due back stateside soon (I think).

There are several options to look into for training. There is the standard, "Come to our office and we'll train you for X number of days." This is great if you need to get a person trained and you want an overall training on the software. The problem is, because there are several people from different companies, we can't really focus on what you need as a company. Another options is custom training. In this instance, the only students in the class would be from your company and we could focus on what you need specifically. The advantage of this is we wouldn't need to go over everything the software can do, we can be more selective and perhaps use fewer days of training (depending on what you do and what you need trained on of course). If you have several people that need trained, the cost to go the custom route is pretty much the same as the standard class.

 

All of this training can be done online but I find it better to do it in person especially if it's going to be more than half a day (of course travel time and expense will affect where the cost benefit ratio for online vs. in person).

Look up AGT total infrastructure on line, and for 600 bucks and change you get a cd based course that you never need to leave you office to watch.

Video and CD based training is a great option however it gets difficult to ask them questions...

Hi,

 

I have recently come back to Autocad after being trained in it over 18 years ago.  I had trouble getting support as well. What I ended up doing is getting in touch with a friend I knew who works with ie extensively.  I ended up buying him supper and he was able to get me current on all the changes.  Priceless!

Often a local CC has Adsk classes, including C3d.  These can be seveal hundred cheaper than an equivalent resaler course.

The reason I like cd's is the fact that the day you go to class you feel like an expert, but the next day, weeks, months, you always wish you could go back to class and have him answer your questions all over again.    Class is great but If possible I would follow up with the CD's.
