IMO: 2 week designer training class with AFSA. When I worked in a
contractor's office, we used to send people there after they have been
working for 6 months. We wanted to make sure they were going to stay.
I was never disappointed with the results from that program.
Then, send them to the 1 week Autosprink training class. AS does not
require AutoCAD background. They just need to know how to use a
computer. Everything else is taught in that first week class. 6 months
later send them to intermediate training.
Those two programs would provide the best bang for the buck.
Remember the old question / answer: What if I train them and they leave?
What if you don't and they stay?

We have a guy here at the office that was originally brought in to
help with the estimating and material take-off. He’s been here 3 years
now and has a good grasp of the industry and we’d like to move him
into more of a designer role. We’d like to send him to a class for a
week or two and have found some on the internet but from what I can
tell they’re mostly book based and not really hands on designing. Any
suggestion out there for something that covers the book and the cadd
side of it?
