What you'll learn
The Diploma in Architectural CAD is a specialized architectural drafting and design program ideal for students, civil engineers, architects, and interior designers. The course focuses on creating 2D plans, 3D views, interior & exterior layouts, and approval drawings using CAD software.
Students learn how to convert architectural concepts into working CAD drawings used in real projects — including residential, commercial, interior, and structural layouts. The course builds a strong foundation in presentation drawings, municipal approval submissions, quantity estimation, and working drawings.
