Course participant testimonials GstarCAD - online basic training for beginners from scratch

  • Jarosław 01-12-2024 Verified purchase review

    The course helped me in the first moments of working in a CAD-type program. Thanks to it, I began carrying out my projects with greater ease. I would suggest for the future that the instructor speak aloud about every operation he is performing (since this is a course for beginners).
