Diploma in Drafting with AutoCAD

Course Overview

The Diploma in Drafting with AutoCAD provides learners with the technical knowledge and practical skills required to create precise design drawings using AutoCAD software. AutoCAD is widely used in architecture, engineering, interior design, and construction industries to produce accurate technical drawings and project plans.

This programme introduces learners to the fundamentals of computer-aided design (CAD), including drafting techniques, design principles, and digital drawing tools. Learners will develop the ability to produce professional design layouts for architectural spaces, construction projects, and landscape planning.

The course also explores modern design practices including sustainable building principles, environmental design considerations, and wellness standards used in contemporary construction. These concepts help learners understand how to design spaces that are functional, efficient, and environmentally responsible.

By completing this diploma programme, learners will gain the foundational skills needed to work with CAD software and contribute to architectural and design projects within professional environments.
