AutoCAD Training (Online)

1 to 1 Online AutoCAD 2D Training Course

At LiftPlan Pro, we understand that finding the time for professional development can be challenging, especially for Appointed Persons (APs) who have demanding work schedules. That’s why we’ve designed a 1 to 1 online AutoCAD 2D training course, tailored specifically for APs who cannot take time off work.


Our bespoke course takes the comprehensive content of our classroom-based program and delivers it in a more flexible and personalised format. Over the span of 5 intensive 5-hour sessions, held over weekends, you will have the opportunity to focus on mastering the core skills required to produce high-quality, safe systems of work and lifting documentation.


This online interactive course is designed with practicality in mind. You will engage in hands-on exercises that mirror real-world scenarios, ensuring that you not only understand the theory but can also apply your skills in a professional setting. By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge in AutoCAD for APs, along with a set of customised templates that you can use and adapt throughout your career.


With a 1 to 1 learning environment, you’ll receive personalised attention and guidance, allowing you to progress at your own pace and address any specific challenges you may face. Our goal is to equip you with the tools and confidence to excel in your role as an Appointed Person.
