GOOD AUTOCAD TRAINING  = GOOD PRODUCTIVITY!!

Annual returns up to 34 times!!?

The following graphs borrowed from Autodesk's web site confirm what we have known at The EKHO Institute for many years.  Good training pays back many times over.  Take note of the 177% productivity ratio of trained users vs. 125% for untrained users when compared to manual methods.  Also note the trained users are achieving break even with traditional methods in only 4 months vs. 11 months for the untrained users. One way to place this in context is with a CAD operator/designer who is producing revenue generating work.  The trained user will produce 42% more output in a given year.  If the untrained user generates $200,000/yr. in billable work, the trained user would generate $284,000 worth.  Ten of these types of users would produce an extra $840,000/year in revenue for the company's profitability!  This ratio will become even greater if advanced productivity features such as those taught in our AutoCAD Level 2 or AutoCAD 3D classes are put to work that most users remain totally unaware of without training.  If the company had sent these 10 users to us for our basic AutoCAD Level 1 course at $1500CDN plus $1,000 in salary and benefits, this would represent an annual return of 34 times the cost of
the course!
REMEMBER, this will pay back year after year, NOT just for 1 year, so over a 10 or 20 year period, the gains are enormous!! Use your own numbers to calculate your expected return.  Follow the other icon below on how students trained at The EKHO Institute do so well on Certification Exams.

The following chart and graph compares EKHO's beginner Deluxe AutoCAD course's students to 2 of our competitors' beginner classes that took very similar training and then wrote the AutoCAD Level 1 Certification Exam.  This clearly shows the excellent results achieved in EKHO's training program. We also show experienced users with about 5 years experience. Please note the much higher number training hours provided by other trainers compared to EKHO's 40 hours of Level 1 Instruction plus 40 hours of Level 1 lab time.  Quantity can not replace quality!!  One other way to view these results is a 2 to 3 times greater chance of success in succeeding with training at The EKHO Institute!
