This course was designed for the complete beginner, with practice files and a realistic project to allow students to put into practice the skills as they learn them. Throughout this AutoCAD course, Students’ll be creating their own real-world realistic project that is indicative of the kind students might be asked to create in the workplace. Students will learn how to produce a professional drawing to industry standards and hopefully inspire students to do even more!
Students will begin right at the start and learn how to set up the software to use AutoCAD the way most people in the industry like to use it. Students will learn basic selection, creation, and modification techniques first before following along as they put those skills into practice to create a building layout together.
As the course progresses students will switch between learning basic skills and then putting them into practice on Their project. By learning this way, students will not only learn how to do something but why and where to use those skills. This will leave students with a much greater understanding of the software and how it is used in the workplace.
During the course, students will be following along to create a building layout from the dimensions given. After this course, students will have all the skills necessary to create your own drawings whether for business or leisure purposes.
With the skills learned in this course, students have a highly desired skill that can help them get jobs and make money as an AutoCAD Drafter.
AutoCAD is an industry-standard and most widely used application when it comes to CAD software, so it’s important for students to learn it if they want to be professional designers.
