Why the CAD Academy

Good training is never cheap, but bad training can be expensive, which is why it is important to invest wisely in experienced trainers who not only know the subject but also know how to share that knowledge in an accessible and meaningful way.

They say “those who can do, and those who can’t teach”. The reality is that the best teachers have done it, built a wealth of practical experience, and also have the skill to teach.

How many experts have you experienced who are brilliant at what they do but cannot share that knowledge in a way that can be easily understood?

That's why the CAD Academy exists: to provide relevant training from someone who cares about clients’ results.

For the past 15 years, I've delivered CAD training courses almost weekly as an Autodesk Certified Trainer for one of the largest Autodesk Platinum Partners in the world. I have trained thousands of professionals, including engineers, interior designers, architects, landscape designers, university lecturers, and other design professionals from a wide range of businesses.

My name is Greg Benson-Shettle, and I am passionate about training and empowering individuals and teams with new skills that will serve them well and inspire them to reach new heights personally and professionally.
