Currently he has approximately 100 students studying AutoCAD on a distance learning basis across the UK under these schemes

David has taught AutoCAD at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Rose Bruford and Central Saint Martin's, London on a mixed curriculum of distance and workshop learning for about 40 students each year, as well as at the RSAMD.

No previous knowledge of AutoCAD is required.

Training machines with AutoCAD installed will be provided.

What is AutoCAD?

AutoCAD allows for accurate to-scale 3D models of spaces, objects and buildings to be drawn on the computer. It is used extensively in the fields of architecture, but also in theatre set and lighting design. The uses of this software in theatre sound applications might include designing a rig, checking its feasibility in the virtual model, and working out speaker coverage.
