CAD Design and Drafting Training

CAD, or computer-aided drafting, is a skill that still has relevance in a today's tech-savvy world. Thirty years ago, people who were trained in drafting learned how to render graphic representations of engineering designs on gridded paper. Today's drafters are most likely to use a software program, such as AutoDesk, to assist with the task. In order to become a successful a CAD designer, it is necessary to attend a quality training program.

Job requirements vary by industry, but most people who are hired to work with CAD technology need to have a certificate or associate's degree in drafting. Jobs for people who have a completed a CAD training program range by industry, and current job growth estimates suggest that people who would like to find employment as a drafter would do well to gain knowledge in a specific industry as part of their training. Programs that train students to use CAD design techniques include introductory engineering classes as well as classes in advanced geometry and software classes that will help when using common industry programs.

Architectural drafters learn to turn an architect's ideas into a blueprint design. Aeronautical drafters use their skills to help design production plans for missiles and aircraft while mechanical drafters do the same with other technologies and machinery. Civil engineering drafters are another large segment of people who work with CAD programs. These people help to turn engineering concepts into designs for bridges, roads, and other components of infrastructure. In many companies, engineers, architects, and other trained professionals also know how to use CAD and often serve a dual function, but someone who has attended a CAD training program and can get a foot in the door of his or her desired industry by working in this vital design capacity.
