Key details

The Autodesk Vehicle Tracking module provides a set of tools for analysing  and predicting your vehicle manoeuvres, to incorporate swept paths in your designs.

Our Vehicle Tracking course provides a thorough grounding in the functionality available. Sessions include:

• The principles of the Vehicle Tracking module.
• Linking a DWG file using and XREF.
• Creating the access roundabout to a site; creating roundabouts and roads.
• Creating parking components; curved and parallel parking bays.
• Creating and editing swept paths.
• Creating your own vehicle type, size and configuration.

Vehicle Tracking training is arranged on-request, i.e. one-to-one training or a ‘closed course’ for your group. Your training can be tailored to take into account any existing knowledge you have, and the work you’re going to be doing.

In-class or online

This course is available in-class at eight centres or live online.

Accredited Autodesk Vehicle Tracking training

Armada is an Autodesk Authorised Training Centre (ATC), and our Autodesk Vehicle Tracking courses are accredited by Autodesk.

Autodesk Vehicle Tracking courses are hosted by highly experienced Autodesk Certified Instructors. See Expert trainers.

How will I learn?

Vehicle Tracking training is hands-on and practical.

Our trainers teach the necessary theory then demonstrate techniques step-by-step. You then practice the techniques taught on a computer running Vehicle Tracking.

There is plenty of time to ask questions, and you can take away all the files you create.

Training guide and certificate

Course delegates receive:

• Comprehensive training notes, to refer to throughout the course and use as a refresher after.
• An e-certificate confirming successful completion of an accredited Vehicle Tracking training course.

After course support

Following Vehicle Tracking training, delegates are entitled to 30 days’ email support from their Vehicle Tracking trainer to help with any post-course issues. For further details, see Support.

Prerequisites

You should be familiar with the fundamentals of the application with which you’re going to use Vehicle Tracking. For example, if you’re using Vehicle Tracking in AutoCAD, you should be familiar with the techniques taught in our AutoCAD Essentials course; if you’re using Vehicle Tracking in Civil 3D, you should be familiar with Civil Essentials.

No prior CAD knowledge is necessary.

Vehicle Tracking version

Training can be based on any recent version of Vehicle Tracking to suit you.

Expert trainers

Vehicle Tracking training courses are hosted by:

• Stewart Cobb
• Philip Madeley

Stewart Cobb

Stewart began his working life as a junior draughtsman, and progressed through to Design Director leading a studio of designers working on both 2D and 3D projects.

He then worked for himself for over 25 years, completing around 100 design projects per year for a myriad of clients, including household names such as Vauxhall and McDonalds.

More recently, Stewart’s focus has been on training. He has been an Autodesk Certified Instructor since 2010, hosting courses in AutoCAD, Revit, 3ds Max, AutoCAD Plant 3D, Civil 3D, AVT and Advance Steel. He’s also an expert user of Trimble SketchUp.

In between courses, Stewart uses these applications professionally when carrying out project work for clients. Using the applications regularly helps him to keep up-to-date with the latest technologies and practices. He also specialises in the production of photorealistic rendered images and visualisations using renderers including V-Ray.

Outside of work, Stewart enjoys music (he runs the sound desk for a number of local bands), reading and playing with any new piece of technology he can lay his hands on!

Philip Madeley

Philip’s background is in Civil Engineering. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Institution of Civil Engineering Surveyors, and has worked as a Consultant in this industry for many years.

Philip is also a long-standing Autodesk Certified Instructor, with specialist knowledge of AutoCAD and related GIS applications such as Civil 3D, AutoCAD Map 3D and InfraWorks.

Philip’s approach to training is practical. He loves to utilise his knowledge and experience to show delegates how they can make best use of the software on their own projects.

Away from training, Philip’s interests are photography, and watching rugby and cricket. He also does voluntary work, and describes himself as an all-round lover of life.

Live online training

Online training lets you participate in a live Vehicle Tracking course from your place of work or home.

We do everything possible to make your online training experience as close as possible to actually being in the classroom. You can:

• See and hear our trainer, and the other delegates participating in the course…
  
• Watch our trainer demonstrate techniques in Vehicle Tracking.
• Interact by speaking, or using chat.
• Share your screen with our trainer, and allow them to take control to explain something.

Like our in-class courses, online Vehicle Tracking courses…

• Are presented by Autodesk Certified Instructors.
• Give you plenty of opportunity to carry out assisted, practical exercises using Vehicle Tracking.
• Offer 30 days’ email support from your trainer.

All you need is an Internet-connected computer with…

• Vehicle Tracking installed. If you don’t have a current subscription to Vehicle Tracking, you’re entitled to a 30-day trial that’s ideal for participating in training. We’ll send you a link to this. If you’ve already used your trial, we can lend you a license for the duration of your course.
• A webcam and audio capability. If your computer running Vehicle Tracking doesn’t have these, you can use a second device, such as another computer or tablet. See Hardware recommendations for live online training for further details.

If there’s anything you’re not sure about we’ll do our best to help you. We won’t be able to assist with your Vehicle Tracking installation, but we can provide details for Autodesk support who’ll be able to help you with this.

We provide everything else…

• Links to download the files, resources, etc. you’ll use in your course.
• A training guide. For most courses, you can choose from a printed copy that we post to you, or a PDF.

In the week before your course, we’ll send you an email containing everything you need to prepare for and participate in the training. Then, a couple of days before your course, we’ll give you a courtesy call to make sure you have everything in place and answer any questions you may have.

Please note that we are not able to record scheduled online courses for privacy reasons.

When you attend live online training, you’re participating in a real course, hosted by a real trainer, in real time
