Never Ending Inspiration from EKHO's students!
Even though we have accumulated a LOT of experience in training
and designing with AutoCAD, one ongoing source of new inspiration,
knowledge and refinements are EKHO's students. Students have, and
always will contribute ideas both directly through comments and
questions and by my observation of their struggles with new learning
experiences. We all have much to learn no matter how far we think
we may have come.
Nothing is more gratifying than seeing a new student come up with
fresh ideas, questions and enthusiasm for the creative process that
AutoCAD offers to designers who have a passion for creative design.
In 19+ years of teaching AutoCAD there has never been a class yet
where we don't learn something new from, or because of, the students!!
Makes every training day a fun day! It is even more gratifying
to later see a student who surpasses the teacher's skills through
practice, experience, hard work and creative thinking!! We love
to plant little seeds that grow into lush blossoming plants!
Training reminds me so much of my childhood farming roots on a
small Saskatchewan farm! Sow good seeds in the spring, work hard on your crop, and watch
a bountiful harvest come off in the fall!
