With in depth knowledge and experience with the software programs he quickly picks up on your skill level and doesnt waste time on stuff you already know.He is patient, explains and teaches in a highly organized manner as well as being extremely caring and pleasant.I can highly recommend him and will turn to him anytime I am stuck working in any of the design software programs. Worth every penny!paulette

What a great experience! Zak is an amazing instructor. He really helps you wrap your head around the 3-D concept within Sketch Up. I would recommend this class to anyone at any level.

Zak was a phenomenal teacher that was highly passionate about teaching and catered to every students needs. His CAD Simplified class emphasized the use of shortcuts and practice to learn how to become very quick. I left the class feeling very confident about my abilities in CAD and how to use it quickly.

Zak is awesome! AutoCAD was feeling like a foreign language but Zak helped explain it well and build my confidence in understanding the program. Zak is super patience and intuitively gets the program which makes his teaching that much more interesting and understandable. Zak is worth every penny!

Zak and Chris are both incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and personable instructors who genuinely care about the success and happiness of their clients. I’ve done one-on-one tutoring with Zak to learn SketchUp, and one-on-one tutoring with Chris to learn AutoCAD. I opted for tutoring versus classes because I wanted to move at an accelerated pace and I had specific goals/objectives that I wanted to achieve. Both Zak and Chris were able to adapt the material to my learning style and pace with ease.In both instances, Zak took the time to speak with me over the phone about my specific needs and goals, to answer all of my questions up front, and to get me scheduled. In both tutoring sessions, Zak and Chris were able to teach me effectively and thoroughly – they have concise and logical lesson plans and teaching styles that make the material fun and engaging. I cannot believe how much I learned from them in these sessions!CADSimplified deserves more than 5 stars.

Zak is a wonderful teacher! He is patient, knowledgeable and has the ability to tailor his teaching to the pace of his student(s). As a professional user of CAD and Revit, I recommend his services highly.

My experience working with Cad Simplified was fantastic. Zak Bilbeisi is able to cater to individual learning styles by adjusting the way he communicates information. Prior to starting class we created a road map of what I wanted to accomplish in each lesson. Not only did Zak meet all of my goals but he also was able to go beyond my expectations. Additionally being able to interact with Zak in person made it possible for me to learn how to operate CAD efficiently. The shortcuts Zak will teach you have the ability to set you apart from the rest of CAD users. Being able to sketch quickly and accurately were the greatest lessons I learned at Cad Simplified. These lessons are hard to learn without having the ability to interact with someone like Zak who has over 15 years of experience using the software. I would highly recommend Cad Simplified to anyone looking to learn how to operate CAD efficiently in a short amount of time.

Working with Zak from Cad Simplified helped me get over the hump of working in Revit with no previous experience. Zak was fast, able to respond immediately to the specific, and rather unusual aspects of revit that I needed for my work. Couldnt give a more positive rating.

Zak was my Revit tutor; he teaches with patience, focus and mindfulness. He has a very deep understanding and technical knowledge of Revit, Autocad, and all Autodesk products.Recently I upgraded to the latest Architectural Suite, and ran into some issues. I knew there is only one person who could sort it out. As expected, Zak helped me solve the problem, saving me many hours of unnecessary work. All with the same personal grace and professional efficiency.CAD Simplified is truly standing by the name.

I have been a designer for six years and have had a couple of tutoring sessions with Zak, trying to get out of some bad, inefficient habits using AutoCAD. He is very patient, knowledgeable, and will go out of his way to help if you get stuck even if you are not in a session. He will also taylor the sessions to suit your level of expertise. Very nice guy, and he clearly cares about helping his students understand the material.

I Took the Revit Basic & Advance Class, so proud that I found Cad Simplified, because of the Best Teacher I ever meed. I took classes of Revit before, but nothing like this very good essence of the most important topics that definitely are going to be handy for you in the future. Having Zack as a teacher is the best you could ever want in one training as short but concrete as this first and Advanced Revit Course, I do highly recommend it, he is not like typical instructor that stays by the schedule, he makes sure that all the tools he is given you are going to be helpful for each one of us in the hole group of students, ah ! Thats another good quality: keeping it simple-not more than 7 student per class, Having a much more personalized service, for me thats amazing, very much appreciated. You could say that the price is quite high, but so worht it, cant complain about the material provided in this class, the best EVER.

If you want to learn AutoCAD or Revit your best bet is to sign up with one of Zaks classes. I learned so much more from Zak than when I signed up for an 8-week Revit course from Berkeley Extension!Zak’s classes are focused, project oriented and goes beyond the basics. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient with his students. He is great at breaking concepts down to make it easier to understand. It is well worth the money to invest in yourself by taking Zaks courses, because the return is two-fold on your career. Zak is also a nice guy and a jack of all trades…that does stand up on the side.

I have had the pleasure of working with Zak. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to software programs, such as Revit, AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Google SketchUP, and the Adobe Suite. His training is very effective. I believe that its one thing to know a program and its another to be able to teach it and Zak has both. He is very patient and sees each student as an individual who has a different way of learning. He works with you until you feel confident that you can perform well on your own. I absolutely recommend him as the best teacher/tutor that I have worked with in this field during my school years.

CAD Simplified has been a great experience. Zak is a very skilled instructor. With small class sizes of around six people he is always able to give one on one attention to everyone. Zak manages to keep the class moving forward at a good speed for the students that are picking things up quickly while taking the time to make sure nobody falls behind. I have completed the level 1 & 2 classes for AutoCAD at CAD Simplified and the results are incredible. After just 8 evenings I feel like I have been working in AutoCAD for many years. With a little time to refine my skills I feel that I have a very good knowledge of how to use all aspects of this complex program. One of the most important tools I learned from Zak at CAD Simplified is not just how to use the program but how to use it quickly and efficiently. Zak emphasizes the importance of using key commands and short cuts that help you move fluidly and efficiently through any program. I will be returning for more classes at CAD Simplified for the 3rd level of AutoCAD and am seriously thinking about Revit and some of the other great classes that CAD Simplified offers.Sign up for the classes. At such and affordable price and small time commitment it is well worth your while weather you are a first time user or just want to brush up on technique.

Zak is a consultant at my firm and is currently teaching us Revit twice a week. He is such an amazing teacher. First, because he genuinely knows the programs and enjoys using them. Second, he is very articulate, personable and infinitely patient. Not only have I been learning Revit swiftly, it has been a lot of fun! He has also helped me improve my Autocad and Photoshop skills. I have my Masters in Architecture, and I only wish I had had a teacher like Zak in graduate school. If you are not a tech-savy person (or even have a slight phobia of anything tech-related) Zak is the cure!

Zak is a remarkable teacher. He is patient, thoughtful, articulate, extremely knowledgeable and flexible. Working with him to expand my knowledge base in Autocad and developing my companys ACAD standards as well learning (relearning) Revit has helped me immeasurably in my professional endeavors as well as the viability of the company I work for.I recommend Zak without hesitation. Whether it is CAD/BIM training or complete company-wide overhaul of CAD/BIM standards and implementation, Zak is the man.

I have had the pleasure of working with Zak at my current architecture firm. I have been in the field for eight years and hands down Zak is the best around when it comes to AutoCAD or Revit knowledge and training. Zak has a positive and fun attitude that makes learning enjoyable. He listens carefully to your questions and has the ability to articulate answers in a way that you truly understand. He sincerely cares about his job and goes out of his way to make it the best experience for everyone.Zak has no problem working with people of different skill levels. He assesses and custom tailors training to best suite each individuals needs. I have highly recommended him to several colleagues, who have also trained with him.Zak is definitely worth every penny and will help your company succeed. He has helped to set up and implement office standards and transitioned the firm into Revit. He has also hosted lunch and learns and after work training courses for Revit. Pretty much all of the new projects in our firm are now in Revit. If you are thinking of transitioning to Revit or just need a brush up in AutoCAD, do not hesitate to contact Zak. It will be the best decision and investment you could make!
