Comment:

If you have no Knowledge of AutoCAD, if you want to know about the secret of Interior Design, he is the guy that you must take. Trust me, he is an AutoCAD Master and knows everything about the digital software. Has sense of humor and sometime gives the story about the industry. You will be an expert after taking his class. Recommended!

Comment:

This is my second time taking AutoCAD since I failed my first one. After that I've given up all hope that I will actually be proficient at it. I just took it the second time so I can tick it off my requirement list. HOWEVER Anthony's class really blew my mind. He was EXTREMELY clear about ever single step &never lets anybody in class get behind.

Anthony is an excellent teacher. He was very engaged and always made sure students understood his lessons and made himself available if you needed help. He really cares that his students understood the concepts/topic he was teaching in Autocad.

Great Professor. Best CADD instructor. I was excited before I even started the class and he just made it so much better. Absolutely deserves the 5 star rating he gets. IF YOU DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS, YOU'RE MISSING OUT. $20,000+ in loans....you better take the best guy for the job. Just do the work, you can't fail.

Excellent professor! He is very passionate about teaching students to master AutoCAD. He may seem intimidating at first, but his expectation for perfection made me very confident in my skills when the course was complete. Work hard, and he will teach you everything he knows!

He can be a bit intimidating but he means well. If you stay focused and on top of everything he asks you to do, you will do very well.

He's a great teacher. It would be helpful if there was some instructions or clarity on how to execute specific commands in auto-cadd to save time and preserve patience.

Anthony is demanding, but absolutely worth it. His number one goal is making sure you understand. I've seen former students come to him for help, and he spends hours with them as well. He wants you to be great. Take his class.

I got the good advice to take Autocad with Anthony and would pass that along to anyone, no question. He knows what he's talking about, he explains things clearly, and he expects a lot so you'll want to do well so you don't disappoint him. Super helpful, lots of good advice, just take the class.
