Loading ...There are a lot of training materials that can be used effectively.
Like I said - I like to create my own, but that is tough. Usually I start with other material that I may have used or has been used to train me. If I take a class in the latest software, I may use the handout as a starting point.
You can get a lot of material off the internet. Here are a few spots you can check into.
Autodesk Press has a lot of material that has been developed over the years. It is good foundational material.
Some are free like CADCEA 3d Tutorials. I have not tried this one. Some of the free stuff is very good and others are worth what you pay for them.
Check out CAD Tutor and MyCADSite.
CAD Digest has a great list. Not many of these are good for a classroom setting.
I have used Ascent materials before. They are good. Step by step outlines of what to do. You can actually view a sample of their courseware on their site.
CADapult software solutions has Civil courseware. There are training materials for Microstation also.
The Bentley site has training material as well as the Autodesk site and ArchiCAD.
A few of the courseware providers allow you to customize the books with your own logos and such (for an additional price). You will have to ask about that.
And don’t forget your reseller - some of them can produce training materials also.

Xdin.com has really good CAD Training too. They run training in Catia V5 and Pro/E.
I have been in a V5 class for Free
and can really recommend it.
They have a free offer right know but I think it is for companies only. Good though.

Xdin.com appears to be a non-English site so I have no idea how good it might be.

You can get excellent MicroStation training materials at Micro-Press.com and we also offer distance-education courses at a very reasonable cost.
