Who can join the Architectural Field Ready Software Training?

B.Arch and architecture diploma students, practising architects, civil engineers in building design and draftsmen who want BIM and visualization skills can join.

How long is the AFRST course?

AFRST runs for 400 hours, covering drafting, BIM, 3D modelling, rendering and presentation in a planned sequence with a final project.

Is the architecture software course available online?

Yes, both classroom training at CADD centres and live online classes are available. For online rendering work you need a Windows PC with a dedicated graphics card.

Do I get a certificate after AFRST?

Yes. You receive a CADD Training Centre certificate that can be verified online, and you finish with a portfolio project to show employers or clients.

What jobs can I do after learning architecture software?

The programme supports roles such as architectural draftsman, Revit/BIM modeller, 3D visualizer, rendering artist and design assistant in architecture firms.

Should architects learn Revit or SketchUp?

Both are useful. SketchUp is fast for concepts and massing, while Revit produces coordinated drawings and schedules. AFRST teaches both so you can use each at the right stage.

What is the difference between Lumion, Enscape and V-Ray?

V-Ray is a ray-traced renderer for high-quality stills. Enscape and Lumion are real-time tools for quick renders, walkthroughs and videos. Many offices use a mix.
