17/12/2025

Just a quick update for everyone - my apologies for not posting here as often as I would've liked to. 2025 has brought some directional changes to Elevation Drafting, I've added some AutoCAD tutoring and AutoCAD support services and hoping to push this side pretty hard next year. More posts coming over the next few weeks!

In preparation for a big 2024, I've just finished a MAMMOTH update to the website. 4 days of content updates, learning WordPress coding and CSS to fix issues, hunting down example plans and making sure everything works (fairly) well.
I'm STUFFED.

But here it is - check it out!!

Updates updates - very busily working on the AutoCAD courses, at this stage it looks like they'll be up on Udemy, Skillshare and LinkedIn Learning.

If you don't want to use any of those, and want to get the courses a little cheaper I'm going to try and set up a page on our website ( www.elevationdrafting.com.au ) where you can purchase and download the lessons directly. Then you'll have them for life! Learn entirely at your own pace!

More updates soon ! - Glenn

Survey Drafting for surveyors and related professionals

Hey all
Just a quick update on our CAD courses.
The good news is that there are now 20 (yes, TWENTY!) courses that I'll be releasing - lots of the good stuff for you to check out. I'll release previews on our Youtube channel once they're ready to go.
The bad news is that I'm moving house at the moment so there's been a bit of a delay. I want to get them just right for all levels of CAD user, so they're not something to be rushed - good things come to those who wait!
Will keep you all posted as things develop. Thanks for your patience, I promise they'll be worth the wait :)
