"Attended two sessions. One was 2D CAD and the second was engineering drawings with 3D CAD. Excellent pace and the class size was small with only two delegates per tutor. It has been a great two-days and I really enjoyed. I would highly recommend Computer Training Wales to anyone looking to earn new skills in design."

Mary Lewis

"Attended 3D Computer Aided Design course and it was an excellent course. There was only three people to Daniel the trainer. Thank you."
