online AutoCAD instruction recomendations?
(OP)
I use Bentley MicroStation at work. I'm currently looking for a position closer to my home, and a couple of positions I was interested in required experience in AutoCAD. I'm thinking of getting some schooling in AutoCAD, figuring that my MicroStation experience and an education in AutoCAD might be enough to get me over the AutoCAD experience requirement. However, my local schools aren't offering the courses I need anytime soon. Can anyone recommend online instruction that would serve my purpose? Any other options for me to get around my lack of AutoCAD experience?
The 'official' Autodesk courses are a bit expensive and I don't have a week-long block of time to attend their online course. I'm looking for something in $1,000 and under range, with learn-on-your-own-time and online assistance capabilities. Thank you...

Pick one that is not for beginners but intermediate.

Don't know if that's still the case, but it was as of a few years ago. If not, you can still do a download 30-day trial of most of the Autodesk software.

The official AutoCAD 2011 courseware kind-of sucks. I just taught an online presentation of Part 1 and it's all object snaps, grip edits, move, copy, rotate, blah blah. Not worth the money for taking a class at all. An evening with YouTube and a 30-day trial plus MicroStation knowledge (esp. if it's V8i not V8) will get you much further. Part 2 covers annotative scales, xrefs, creating styles, etc. - more useful.

For a while Autodesk opened up the Student Community site to people who had been laid off in the recession. There are curricula there and videos.
