## Overview

Master AutoCAD and Revit, the essential tools behind modern drafting and building design, and gain the skills to design, document, and visualize projects with precision. The CAD and BIM Certificate Program offers a structured learning path, beginning with foundational AutoCAD training and progressing into Revit’s Building Information Modeling capabilities. You can further tailor your experience by specializing in Revit MEP, Revit Structure, or AutoCAD Construction Documents. Throughout the program, you will learn industry best practices that build confidence, support complex project management, and prepare you to produce professional construction documents that meet industry standards.

Along the way, you will gain hands-on experience with industry-standard CAD tools while developing detailed 2D drawings and engaging 3D models that clearly communicate your ideas. You will explore BIM fundamentals and their role in today’s design and construction workflows, apply your skills through practical projects that reflect real workplace challenges, and learn techniques that streamline drafting and modeling processes to save time and resources. The program also supports the creation of a strong portfolio that highlights your skills, knowledge, and completed work.

## What you'll learn

- Draft floor plans, elevations, sections, and details in AutoCAD, from a first residential project through a full construction document set
- Manage layers, blocks, external references, model and layout environments, and plotting the way a professional office does
- Organize deliverable sheet sets that follow the National CAD Standards
- Build a 3D Revit model and understand how Building Information Modeling ties its information together
- Create Revit details, parametric families, tags for cost estimation, and design options for presenting alternatives
- Model a commercial project through existing conditions, demolition, and new construction, with site topography and renderings
- Produce architectural construction documents directly from the BIM model, with progress sets, schedules, and keynotes
- Build a portfolio of 2D drawings and 3D models that shows your CAD and BIM skills to employers
