CAD Course David Thompson

AutoCAD Trainer

30 years of experience in working with AutoCAD

David Thompson

I have always had a great interest in buildings & technology.

It started with the usual LEGO bricks and radios and later led to my architectural degree at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.

After 3 years I graduated with a Bachelor’s and have been working in the field of architecture, especially in the area of doors, windows and conservatories, and other metal constructions, etc. as a designer and draughtsman since 1986.

I have been working specifically with AutoCAD as well as other Autodesk programs since 1991 and of course a lot of experience & know-how has been gained in that time.

„We speak German, English and, if necessary, a little Persian. It is important to us that you feel comfortable and relaxed during your CAD course, therefore, we will, as far as possible, ensure an easy learning atmosphere and not put you under pressure or stress. Our experience has shown that you simply take more home with you if you have fun, can ask any questions in a relaxed way and feel at ease.

So we are always happy to receive any feedback, whether in person by email, so that we can make your training time as enjoyable and informative as possible.“
