Schools and colleges are an important and
integral part of CAD International's client base globally. We've
gained a great appreciation for the needs and requirements of
teachers and students alike. In most cases we know exactly what
you need.
Limited face to face teaching time and
broad curriculum requirements limit what CAD software you can
teach effectively. We have learned that it is generally better
to have a great 'all round' product that's easy to teach and
easy to learn, rather than several powerful (yet usually cumbersome)
industry heavyweight products that may take all year for a students
(and teachers) to figure out.
Support is one of the most important considerations.
When you need to achieve something with your students and don't
know how, you need to know you have help at hand. If the software
fails and renders your class inoperable you need to know technical
assistance is available fast.
Many schools, colleges or universities
are using the wrong product. They often hesitate to change or
keep up with the times due in part to a lack of willingness of
the educator or due to budget or some other internal politics.
It is worth changing if your current software is difficult
for students to learn or isn't relevant to the industry topic
you are teaching.
Experience and feedback tell us that the
best current product for schools and colleges is typically RealCAD
with its suite of applications for landscape design, architecture,
engineering, animation, rendering and CAM. RealCAD is now CAD
International's most popular CAD software sold in industry. The
CAD online training courses
also mean that you and your students can be up and running in
the shortest possible time.
Rhino3D is also popular among educators
requiring complex 3D curvaceous form modelling.
