Site Engineers are self -taught or muddling through with AutoCAD and feel they are not getting the most out of this powerful tool. A couple of days of focused training can unlock a massive amount of potential, provide significant improvements in productivity, reduce the risk of expensive errors, and most importantly build confidence and increase motivation and job satisfaction.
If you are not sure if your Site Engineers are using AutoCAD to it’s full potential, ask them this one quick question – ‘Do you think you could be better at your job if you were given AutoCAD training designed specifically for Site Engineers?’
