AutoCAD 2D and 3D Course

AutoCAD is a leading computer-aided design (CAD) software widely used to create accurate technical drawings, detailed plans and three-dimensional models. It plays an essential role in industries such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, architecture, construction, manufacturing and interior design.

The AutoCAD 2D and 3D Course is designed to equip Learners with essential knowledge and practical skills in computer-aided drafting, technical drawing and digital design. The programme provides a structured learning experience, starting with fundamental drafting concepts and progressing towards advanced 2D drawing techniques and 3D modelling applications.

During the 2D drafting module, Learners develop practical skills in using AutoCAD drawing and modification tools, creating geometric shapes, managing layers, applying dimensions, working with text and annotations, and preparing professional drawing layouts. They gain experience in producing technical drawings, including architectural floor plans, elevations, engineering layouts and mechanical designs.

The 3D modelling module builds upon these foundations by introducing Learners to three-dimensional design and visualisation. They explore 3D coordinate systems, solid and surface modelling, object manipulation, model editing, material application and rendering techniques. These skills enable them to convert conceptual designs and two-dimensional drawings into detailed three-dimensional models.

Throughout the course, practical exercises, guided projects and design assignments provide opportunities to apply newly acquired skills to realistic design tasks. Learners progressively develop a collection of 2D technical drawings and 3D models that demonstrate their understanding of CAD software and its practical applications.

By completing the programme, Learners will have developed a foundation in professional drafting, technical drawing and 3D design. The course also aims to support their preparation for entry-level CAD operator, junior draftsman and design assistant opportunities, while providing a pathway for further learning and professional development in engineering, architecture and computer-aided design.
