    "Patient trainers"
    Our trainer was a very knowledgeable guy who also had patience with slower learners and was also able to identify those who were a little bit quicker at picking things up.
    Andrew Dunn, Project Manager, Zircom Data Communications Ltd
    "Concise training course "
    The Cadspec AutoCAD trainer was great! Everything that I had questions about – even off topic of the course – were answered clearly & coherently. When we get new starters join Kohler that require AutoCAD training, I will definitely recommend the Cadspec course to them.
    Craig Davies, Business Development Manager, Kohler
    "Easy to learn"
    Our essentials course was not only easy to learn but the trainer made it engaging.
