    Does anyone know anything about their AutoCAD courses?

    They have AutoCAD® Essentials Certificate Program and
    Drafting with AutoCAD® Career Diploma

    Are they good? Which one would be better?

    Thanks!

    Default Penn Foster AutoCad Programs

    The AutoCad programs are both good, but the career diploma program is much more comprehensive, starting with manual/board drafting and building to AutoCad/computer drafting. If you have no experience with the basics of drafting, you should take the career diploma program. If you understand the fundamentals of drafting, you should consider the certificate version of the program.

    Hope this information helps!

    Above is a link to the program I took at Penn Foster.

    I went for the career diploma and like mentioned above, they go through everything, even though I had taken manual drafting in high school for 3 years, it was a nice refresher and helps you understand the profession.

    I highly suggest this program if you want to learn from the ground up.

    I did it and I'm very happy with it.
