Study to pass a CAD skills assessment at a CAD job interview which is increasingly likely in today's climate.
* Some employers are starting to use CAD skills assessments at job interviews so as to avoid costly recruitment mistakes. Any existing qualifications you have will be irrelevant if you score a low mark on a CAD job interview skills assessment.
* We provide short courses based on topics that employers are looking for in their current Autocad operators and successful job candidates.
* We provide training in small groups for almost individual attention to accelerate your learning. You won't be stuck on a course with too many students.
* It's a common misconception that you have to study Autocad part time for weeks on end. Indeed if you were to take the traditional route of long term study, you will only end up with similar qualifications as hundreds of others. Our alternative course takes you through the 3 day beginner's course that we have successfully provided to employers for over 10 years. Then we add further days for coaching and independent skills assessments, taking a selection of intermediate and advanced topics which were originally suggested as really useful by employers.
Jan MacPherson, Head of CAD Services, Hilson Moran Partnership:
"In addition to managing and encouraging junior staff to improve their CAD skills, Knowldgesmart has proved to be a useful tool in maintaining high standards and achieving savings, which contribute significantly to its subscription by avoiding costly appointments of unsuitable staff"
Mike Lewis, Senior Associate Director, Benoy:- "KnowledgeSmart is a great start forgetting a better idea of an individual's (CAD) ability. If we can use Knowledgesmart toidentify the best candidates...we will have a huge head start from day one."
Miles Walker, Vice President & Firmwide CAD Manager, HOK:-"Knowledgesmart provides a quick andeasy way to measure the CAD skills of ourstaff and new recruits"
Is this a widely recognised qualification?
It's certainly recognised by companies who use the same Knowledgesmart software to assess their current staff and job candidates. You can check this out for yourself by looking at their testimonials on www.knowledgesmart.net. Remember too that it's becoming more likely that you will be faced with a similar assessment at a job interview, because in the current climate, employers don't want to make expensive recruitment mistakes.
As to it being "not widely recognised" that's good. Right now you need have something unique about your CV that makes you stand out from the rest. To improve your chances of a job interview.
A tale taken from an old book by Frank Betcher:- A man asked many life assurance companies to quote for his cover (In the days before the internet). Frank Betcher made an appointment. "Just send me the quote and I will add it to the pile on my desk - said the man". Frank Betcher walked out of with a signed proposal form.
How did he do it? Frank was the only person who had pre-booked a medical that afternoon. If the man had had an accident on the way home he could have been uninsurable.
In the competition for jobs, could you be the only candidate in the queue who has paid for a certified Knowledgesmart CAD skills course.
Does it work?
We can't guarantee results but 40% of individuals on our courses in 2010 got a job.
A job through the back door?
It's possible to secure local short term employment as a CAD operator which could easily turn into a full time job once you have proved your worth. But don't be tempted to free lance. You could be responsible for any errors and have to chase moneys owing to you. You might not even get paid if the company goes bust.
Already CAD qualified? Perhaps not, when did you last use Autocad?
Most CAD job applicants are unaware that their current CAD qualifications could be eclipsed by a low CAD skills assessment score at a job interview.
Be prepared to pass a CAD skills assesment at interview and shine
