To Everyone at The Draughting Academy,
Thank you for making my experience at the Academy so memorable! As someone that had no draughting experience prior to attending the academy, I felt very comfortable and truly mentored throughout the course. I learnt a tremendous amount thanks to all the lecturers' patience and guidance, and am now in a position I could never have dreamed of. Thank You!

"I would also like to provide some feedback on the overall course. I have completed a range of draughting and project management courses at several institutions and the NDip in Civil Engineering via AIE, and I must say this is by far the best course I've done! It's very engaging, challenging, high paced, practical, and relates to the real construction world! I appreciate the effort put into the content and the structure to provide the most value to everyone. I'm excited to see what still lies ahead because I'm constantly learning, and I can already feel how it's positively impacting my work! It's also great to have a lecturer with experience in the field, and that by itself adds a whole new element to the content that books and videos can't teach you. Thanks for everything!"

Thank you Clarisse for your dedication and addresing the matter in a very professional way. I am still commited to putting my son through your college and depending on the treatment we get from our first born at your school, we will send the other upcoming two kids to study there. Looking forward to a bright future and good relationships.

I would like to mention that if it was not for AIE, I would not have been able to open my own Business, one that I dream about for 15 years. This means more to me than you will ever understand. AIe is the absolute best and this is where leaders are born. SA needs AIE branches everywhere. If my company could design and build them, why not? We need to get more AIE branches up, no jokes. Your system is working and I see improvements after the merge with the Draughting academy.
Ps. Ignore negative student comments, as you know, this happens everywhere. I am telling you as a student, that I am very pleased and do advise to everyone in SA. I pray for you and do wish you all the best. Love you loads!! Honestly.

Ek en my man wil julle net graag inlig en bedank vir alles wat julle vir Strijger gedoen het. Die engineering company waar hy werk in Faerie Glen het hom ‘n permanente pakket aangebied uit 7 junior draughtsman uit. Hy geniet sy werk vreeslik baie (meestal Constructional Steel) en hy is goed daarin te danke aan die opleiding wat hy van julle af ontvang het. Hy het die voorreg om meestal op Tekla te werk en die blootstelling is van onskatbare waarde. Dit was rerig die beste belegging wat ons vir ons seun kon maak om hom na die CAD Academy toe te stuur.

I would like to bring to your attention about the excellent service that I have received from Nicole. Her care and concern towards her client was excellent. She responds in such a great manner. It was such a pleasure to actually work with someone like her on trying to get my studies going. She is a star sales person in all aspects. She went the extra mile in helping me out whenever I needed her help & tried her best to keep me happy in whatever she brought forward.

Dear Clarisa, Thank you for all your help this past the year. You have been a great help throughout this year. My experience with college has been good overall and you guys have gone out of your way to accommodate me. Distance learning is no joke and you guys have made it a positive experience.Thank you and enjoy your holiday.

I am writing this letter to strongly recommend The Draughting Academy for your future study course. I myself enrolled with the The Draughting Academy back in 2013 at the Sandton campus and have to say that I was not disappointed at all about the course they offered. Since I graduated from The Draughting Academy at the end of 2013 I started working in February 2014 as a Structural Draughtsman in Randburg/Northcliff. For someone like myself who had no background in working with AutoCAD I was quite impressed in how fast I learned to use the program. I am not disappointed at all and would definitely enrol for the Revit short course when I have time.
JJ de Jager, Structural Draughtsman, Alumni StudentSchool of Draughting & Technical Design
Ek wil graag die geleentheid gebruik om almal baie dankie te se vir al die moeite en werk wat in ons gradering in gegaan het. Almal met wie ek die aand gesels het was vreeslik beindruk met hoe dinge gereel was. Die hele kurses was n wonderlike ondervinding en dit was n voorreg om julle almal te leer ken.
Henk Schoeman, Alumni StudentSchool of Draughting & Technical Design
I have been a Draughtsman for 8+ years and thought that I knew all there is to know about Draughting. All I can say is, “I was wrong”. The Draughting Academy made me a better, more accurate and more sufficient Draughtsman. Thank you for helping me to hone myself into a proficient and more confident Draughtsman. By far the best thing that could ever happen to my Draughting carrier!

We do appreciate all you do - and thank you for putting my mom's mind at ease. She phoned me at work and told me she had a chat to you and that you were really kind to her. I appreciate your kindness and thank you in talking to my mom. Take care and keep being a caring person - it sets you above the norm that do not care.
