Student Ratings & Reviews
Great
As I had not used 12d before, but am to start, it has given me an insight into the many functions available. Probably a lot to take in, but should help me when I start using the program.
Yes it was a good introduction, the resource material was great.
Was a fantastic learning opportunity
Very informative and well taught, explained every step well and at a good speed.
Good
Highly Recommended for a 12D beginner
Great course, really informative
Great and easy to follow
I got good knowledge
GREAT
This course is great for beginners who want to get up and running with 12D.
Very good content.
Excellent for complete beginners to 12D
Good comprehensive training. A bit frustrating not being able to skip modules that have been completed previously [for V14], but I can understand why this is.
A good course to start out using 12d
It is better if there is a course for drainage design also
much more understandable than other new starter training courses/videos encountered so far, good intro to the user interface and terminology, for example models being layers, or 'strings'
Good course for transitioning Engineers from Civil 3D
