Learning AutoCAD LT 2012 - the Training Video is now available

Do you want to learn how to use Autodesk's AutoCAD LT 2012 CAD software?  You are in luck.  Infinite Skills has just published my latest training video, Learning AutoCAD LT 2012.

This training video has 108 lessons lasting a total of 12.5 hours long!!!  Each lesson is designed to teach you how to use AutoCAD LT.  The lessons are thorough, and deliberate.  They build upon each other.  Many of the chapters have a final project at the end where you will apply what you have learned.  These projects build upon each other too.  The video ends in a final project where you will create the plans for a small movie house.  It's a simple design, but through it you will learn AutoCAD LT 2012.

These training classes use broadcast quality audio and video to deliver concise and informative training right to your desktop.  You can watch the videos on a Mac or a PC.  The lessons are self paced and repeatable.  Go back as many times as you need to to make certain you understand the material.   Pause the video while you work in AutoCAD LT.  All example files are provided for your use.  Many of the examples and projects have a completed version for your review as well.  That way you can compare your work and to verify that you have been working correctly.  

The video starts off introducing you to AutoCAD LT.  This gives you a chance to get familiar with your surroundings in the program.  Chapter two takes a look at the new features that are in AutoCAD LT 2012.  From there we systematically go through the many commands, tools, and features in the program.  

The video is set up for beginners.  It assumes you have never used AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT, ever.  If you have used it briefly, or it has been a while, then this video will also help you out.  It will be a great refresher for what you forgot and will reinforce the skills you already have.  

The video is available on DVD-rom and as a digital download.  Try it before you buy it.  On the product page there are over 20 free videos from the training video itself.  This will give you a great idea of the style of the content and how the information is presented.  

Why should you chose a training video over a book?  Here are a few reasons:

• Learn AutoCAD LT 2012 from a professional trainer from your own desk.
• Suitable for beginners to advanced users.
• Ideal for users who learn faster when shown.
• Visual training method, offering users increased retention and accelerated learning.
