CorelDraw for Laser Cutting & Engraving - Essential Skills

Learn ONLY what you need to know to start creating laser-ready designs in CorelDraw

Overview

New to the world of laser engraving and struggling to learn CorelDraw?

...or maybe you've been using CorelDraw for a little while and are looking to improve your basic skill set?

It can be a daunting task to learn a powerful graphics program like CorelDraw - especially if you have little or no previous experience.

This course will start right from the beginning to teach you all the ESSENTIAL SKILLS of CorelDraw that are relevant to using it with your laser engraving & cutting machine - we will ONLY cover the important things you need to know and we'll SKIP the rest!

Rather than searching through 1000's of videos on websites and YouTube to try and find the ones you need (sometimes you may not even know what you need!), this course has been specifically designed to do all the hard work for you by bringing all that info into one place and concentrating on only the critical skills you need to learn - but most importantly of all it will teach you these skills in the correct order.

The aim here is to slowly progress you through the different tools and techniques to eventually bring you up to a level where you can easily start creating your own laser-ready designs.

Once you nail everything in here you'll be ready to move on to the Intermediate course!

STUDENT FEEDBACK:

"Your Beginning Guide is the perfect start for people like me at ground zero, as your style does not talk down to or insult in any way, someone who is just starting to learn these skills.  I really appreciate how each lesson just jumps right into it, without wasted time on anything other than what is needed.  Also, your layout format of filling the video frame with your Coreldraw screen allows us to be able to see the detail of what you're teaching when you go full-screen, and is a key factor in the course success, I believe."


"
Awesome Course!! So happy to have finally found training thats specific for people using laser engravers as it makes so much more sense than other Coreldraw training ive found online. Being able to see you on the screen at the same time as you teach so you can expain the steps in more detail is a massive help!"


"
I love the course, your style of bringing it, and think you're doing a fantastic job while also providing it all at an amazing value!  As soon as your intermediate course is available, consider another copy sold as I'm all in and can't wait to see the material you cover there."
