You might be at the beginning, but you're ready to draw now.

You have the capacity to learn on your own, but would still love a little structure.
You’ve got the motivation—but not the right tools.
You're ready to design—you just need a starting point that makes sense.
You don't need a massive CAD library—you just need the essentials.
You’re eager to learn—but trainings are either too advanced or too simple.

You want a solution that doesn't skip the basics but also doesn't overcomplicate everything.

At The Landscape Library Academy, we know you want to be a great landscape designer.

To do that, you need to feel confident using the right software.

The problem? Learning a new program like AutoCAD can feel overwhelming — and sometimes it takes years to master. That leaves you feeling behind and hesitant to even start.

We believe designers shouldn’t have to waste years figuring it out alone. That’s why we've created online courses that help you learn software faster — and with purpose.

Here’s how we help:

  • You choose the course that matches your skill level, whether you’re just starting out or ready to go all-in.
  • You have the option to purchase pre-built templates and files to shortcut years of building your own CAD library.
  • And you learn the basics, first — we give you practical trainings that focus on every day, essential know-how's so you build a strong foundation from the very start


So, enroll in our Intro to AutoCAD Course and stop feeling behind. It’s time to become the designer you’ve always envisioned.

Frequently asked questions

Is software included in the purchase?

It is not. You’ll need to gain access to the software on your own but the good news is, this course teaches the most affordable option of AutoCAD & the software usually comes with a free trial!

Does this course teach Apple and PC?

Yes. The trainings were recorded on Windows PC. But, regardless of Mac or PC, the commands taught in the course do not change. There's a resource in the Course that helps you navigate the Mac ribbon bar vs. PC ribbon bar.

How long does it take to get through the course?

The course is 100% online and self-paced. You can get through it as quickly or as slowly as you'd like. However, most students take anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks with full time responsibilities to get through the course.

Do you offer payment plans?

We do not. Instead, we offer a variety of tiered level courses from $47 to $1997 so designers can choose the option that works for them.

Do you offer refunds?

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the course being a digital product with access to ready-made digital downloads, there are no refunds given. But we always want this to be an informed and intentional decision so if you have questions before enrolling, send us a message via our Contact Page. We will get back to you within 24-48 hours.

Do you offer direct support if help is needed?

Absolutely! You can post a question inside the Discussion tab in your online course and you will receive a direct response there. Or, you can submit questions via our Contact Page and we will get back to you within 24-48 hours.
