Autocad is easy to use, but it's hard to use efficiently. You can just about anything right out the box without putting too much thought into it, a lot of the efficiency comes from the hotkeys. An example from our first class was creating a few circles of specific sizes and locations, it took us the entire class to use the menus to create it, using hotkeys it took about 3mins :P

Knowing your hot keys and making templates can make you extremely efficient at it, and that's probably what your employer wants. Whether you have to do classes on it or if you think you can self train is kind of up to you. The best advice for self training is to just look for example projects that you can work on recreating (theres tons out there), and just follow through the steps. I'd say 10-15 of those is probably better than most classes and you can self study.

When I went through for school it was all just working through examples, complete waste of a 600$ course imo considering most of the time I just did the class content at home.
