Instructors can remote into students’ computers (with prior permission) to assist with class exercises and any technical issues. The courses are hands-on and interactive like in-person training.

    You can attend the course from your own home or office. This option works best for those without easy access to a nearby facility, and it has become increasingly popular during COVID-19. Here are 7 of the best live online Interior Design classes we found:

    • AutoCAD 3D Drawing & Modeling @ Certstaffix Training (3 Days | advanced)
    • AutoCAD Advanced @ Certstaffix Training ($1,730 | 3 Days | advanced)
