==KiCAD Tutorials==
*The following links are to the best KiCAD Tutorials that I've found. They're the only ones with voice narration. Unfortunately, the video's creator thought it would be better to use a synthesized voice. It can be quite tiresome. (Posted by Chris Lau 4/9/12)

*I enjoyed the Tutorials 1 and 2 that Chris put on the page it is very good at specifying the basics. (Matthew Blaire 4/10/12)
**I also Have found a helpful tutorial on creating components [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOHGv8pQDSg&feature=relmfu Add Component Tutorial]
**All of the relating tutorials to this one are pretty decent as well, but most of the material is covered in the tutorials that Chris posted

*KiCAD step by step tutorial (Posted by Trent Fleming 4/15/12)

==KiCAD Tutorials==
*The following links are to the best KiCAD Tutorials that I've found. They're the only ones with voice narration. Unfortunately, the video's creator thought it would be better to use a synthesized voice. It can be quite tiresome. (Posted by Chris Lau 4/9/12)
**[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkQ0nVX1q1k Tutorial 1]
**[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HNMihqa844&feature=plcp&context=C46c7c99VDvjVQa1PpcFOo1yAmios_qLe59l30SDJc8OLz1rz8GQs%3D Tutorial 2]

*I enjoyed the Tutorials 1 and 2 that Chris put on the page it is very good at specifying the basics. (Matthew Blaire 4/10/12)
**I also Have found a helpful tutorial on creating components [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOHGv8pQDSg&feature=relmfu Add Component Tutorial]
**All of the relating tutorials to this one are pretty decent as well, but most of the material is covered in the tutorials that Chris posted
