Education
On leaving school, I undertook a two-year Building & Civil Engineering
Studies course at my local technical college.
Employment
I worked in a shop fitting drawing office for a short while where I created
shopfront drawings using traditional draughting techniques on a drawing board.
I became involved with AutoCAD in 1987 via a local architectural practice. The practice bought AutoCAD
when it first arrived in this country in 1983 and started to offer draughting ,
support and training services to other people thinking of
buying it for themselves.
They set up a separate company to become AutoCAD main dealers selling the full range of software and
hardware products associated with AutoCAD.
I joined the newly formed company and spent
the first twelve months as a CAD Technician producing drawings and creating
symbols libraries for local companies.
In total, I spent over four years with them
progressing through the company carrying out training, technical support and
sales of AutoCAD systems to companies nationwide and then worked a further year
with another AutoCAD main dealer.
Freelance
In August 1992, I set up in a freelance
capacity and I have operated as such ever since.
Although independent, I do work to the
guidelines laid down by Autodesk for providing training services and I attend
update courses in order to keep abreast of the latest developments with the
software.
I also have two City and Guilds
qualifications in training proving my proficiency in
evaluating the needs of AutoCAD users and in turn addressing those needs through
delivering the necessary help, advice and training.
