MicroStation Courses
Enjoy the Benefits of a PROCAD Virtual Training Classroom
Experience the benefits of instructor-led classroom training from wherever you are.
Our Virtual Training Classroom provides a live, interactive learning environment where students work directly with an experienced PROCAD trainer.
Students participate in demonstrations, practical exercises and discussions in real time, with the ability to ask questions, share their screen and receive individual assistance throughout the course.
Participants use their own computer with bi-directional screen sharing using Two Screens and software, while the trainer guides them through the course step by step.
It's not simply watching an online video—it's a live classroom experience, with a real instructor, real-time interaction and hands-on practical training.
The objective of the MicroStation Fundamentals Course is to enable students to create a basic 2D drawing in the MicroStation software. Even at this fundamental level, the MicroStation software is one of the most sophisticated computer applications that you are likely to encounter. Therefore learning to use it can be challenging. This course can be extended with the addition of the MIcroStation Intermediate Course
