want to be an autocad instructor

[cadman]

I have 20 years experience using autocad, every aspect of the software. now i am being layed off.
does anyone know where i would go to become an autocad instructor.
i was thinking of setting up on my own training people.
they would expect some sort of cert at the end of the training.

Well done in thinking of the idea,
I hope you get on ok.

You will need some sort of Train the trainer course. ( only a few days)
NUIGalway ( open learning centre) do one in various locations in Ireland
Manooth university?college also run one.

They are just basic courses, but you need to have one.
You could also look at the fas website and register to be on the Register of trainers.
This means that once you are up and running fas may give a grant to your courses. It also gives you more crediblity.

I would imagine there is a big market for your skills.
How about appraoching some of your local colleges to set up an evening class?
