About the AutoCAD Architecture course

AutoCAD Architecture is the version of AutoCAD equipped with a toolset for building design. Rather than plain lines, you work with real architectural objects such as walls, curtain walls, doors, windows, stairs, slabs and roofs, and the software builds plans, sections, elevations and schedules from that model. Architects, architectural draughtsmen, interior designers, builders and consultants use it to produce working drawings faster while staying in the familiar AutoCAD environment.

This 80-hour certificate course is built around one complete building. You organise the project with Project Navigator, levels and constructs, then model walls, openings, curtain walls, stairs, railings and roofs using styles. From the model you generate elevations, sections and spaces, add tags, room and door schedules and area calculations, and finally plot a full set of working drawings on sheets. Each session is hands-on at the computer, either in a classroom at a CADD centre or in live online classes, and you earn a CADD Training Centre certificate that is verifiable online.

The course prepares you for work as an architectural draughtsman, working drawing engineer or building design assistant. Because it introduces object-based modelling, it is also a comfortable step before moving on to Revit Architecture and full BIM workflows.

You will be able to

  • Set up a building project with Project Navigator, levels and constructs
  • Model walls, curtain walls, doors, windows and openings using styles
  • Add stairs, railings, slabs, roof slabs and roofs to a building model
  • Generate elevations, sections and spaces from the model
  • Create tags, room and door schedules and area calculations
  • Produce a complete set of working drawings on plotted sheets

Who it is for

  • Architecture and civil engineering students
  • Interior designers and architectural draughtsmen
  • Builders and consultants who prepare building drawings
  • AutoCAD users who want object-based architectural tools

What you need

  • AutoCAD 2D knowledge is recommended
  • Basic understanding of building plans, elevations and sections
  • For live online classes: a Windows PC with 8 GB RAM or more

AutoCAD Architecture course — FAQ

What is AutoCAD Architecture used for?

AutoCAD Architecture is AutoCAD with a toolset for building design. It uses real objects such as walls, doors, windows and stairs, and produces plans, sections, elevations and schedules from them.

Who can join the AutoCAD Architecture course?

Architecture, civil and interior design students as well as working draughtsmen can join. Knowing basic AutoCAD commands helps you move faster.

What is the duration of AutoCAD Architecture training?

The AutoCAD Architecture course duration is 80 hours, built around a complete building project from plan to working drawings.

Is AutoCAD Architecture available as an online course?

Yes, both modes run: classroom batches at CADD Training Centre and live online classes. In AutoCAD Architecture online sessions you model the same building project on your PC and the trainer reviews your drawings in class.

Do I get a certificate after AutoCAD Architecture?

Yes. Once you finish AutoCAD Architecture training, CADD Training Centre issues your certificate; an architecture firm only needs to scan the QR code to see that it is genuine.

What is the difference between AutoCAD Architecture and Revit?

AutoCAD Architecture adds building objects to the familiar AutoCAD environment, while Revit is a full BIM platform. Many firms use both, and AutoCAD Architecture is a gentle step towards Revit.

What jobs does AutoCAD Architecture help with?

It is useful for architectural draughtsman, building design assistant, working drawing engineer and interior drafting roles in architecture and construction firms.
