About the AutoCAD Fundamental course

AutoCAD is one of the most common drawing tools in engineering and design. Civil, mechanical and electrical engineers, architects, interior designers and surveyors use it to prepare plans, part drawings, layouts and site drawings, so knowing the basics makes college drawing work easier and prepares you for more advanced CAD and BIM software.

AutoCAD Fundamental is a short 10-hour foundation course for complete beginners. It introduces the interface, ribbon and command line, and teaches the core drawing commands such as line, circle, arc, rectangle and polyline using coordinates. You practise accurate drawing with object snaps, ortho and polar tracking, and edit your work with move, copy, trim, extend, offset and mirror. You then organise objects on layers, add simple dimensions and text, and print or plot a drawing to scale. Each command is practised along with the trainer, either in a CADD Training Centre classroom or in live online classes; only basic computer skills are needed.

This course gives you a solid start and helps you decide which path to follow. Most drafting jobs expect more depth, so students usually continue with the 120-hour AutoCAD Master course or a field-specific AutoCAD course for civil, mechanical or electrical drafting.

You will be able to

  • Find your way around the AutoCAD interface, ribbon and command line
  • Draw with lines, circles, arcs, rectangles and polylines using coordinates
  • Use object snaps, ortho and polar tracking for accurate drawing
  • Edit drawings with move, copy, trim, extend, offset and mirror
  • Organise objects on layers and add basic dimensions and text
  • Print or plot a simple drawing to scale

Who it is for

  • School leavers and first-year engineering or diploma students
  • Civil, mechanical and electrical students new to CAD
  • Professionals who need a quick introduction to AutoCAD
  • Learners deciding whether to take a full AutoCAD course

What you need

  • Basic computer skills
  • No previous CAD experience needed
  • A Windows PC for live online classes
