With the skills gap in the drawing office widening (according to a 2008 CAD Manager survey), training budgets being cut and the number of applications used proliferating, there is demand now more than ever before to ensure that staff learn fast. They need to acquire skills at low cost in little time and with minimal management supervision. This is where ‘Video Training’ comes into its own.

MultiSUITE Software has developed a comprehensive range of streaming video based training solutions available on DVD or CD. With full audio commentary and working drawings, users are guided by an experienced technician step-by-step through each type of work and component that they need to draw, or function that they need to use. Tutorials can be viewed as unique units as required or used to build consecutively.

The videos become a cost-effective permanent reference guide for all staff in the drawing office, but with the video aspect bringing the learning to life and making it more accessible to a wider range of learning styles. The videos are linked to the training partner website, which keeps all material current and updated, and provides links to other useful materials.

Because MultiSUITE applications are designed to work on AutoCAD, many of the basic drawing processes are very similar. Hence users are also adding to their wider skills base. In addition, the videos are CPD accredited and count towards maintaining skills to official standards set out by structural and civil professional bodies.
