They both have live classes. One of them is in Texas and the other has them in different locations around the country.
If your design trainee isn't yet fluent in AutoCAD I would suggest you start with an AutoCAD course and some basic drafting instruction. http://www.mycadsite.com/tutorials/index.htm John Irwin Sprinkler Construction Manager Critical System Solutions, LLC Cell: 813.618.2781 Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Harris Sent: Monday, June 27, 2016 3:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Design Classes John- We've thought about both of those but they seem to be more book only type classes. Do they have hands on time with AutoCAD (or similar) actually laying a system out?

I have not been to either so I can't say which is better.

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? Brian Harris, CET BVS Systems Inc.
