Taking Professional CAD Training Classes Makes Students Industry Ready

The architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is rapidly witnessing drastic changes both on the design/planning as well as the execution fronts. Whilst forward-looking firms operating in this domain are continuously adapting to the modern approaches in building design and planning, they need technically sound new recruits to keep this professional development process sustainable and meet the industry demand. This is exactly where industry-oriented CAD training classes can play a significant role in strengthening the proficiency of students undertaking full-time graduate courses in mechanical engineering, architecture, interior design, and building construction.

Besides helping students get absorbed in the AEC industry, CAD and BIM courses designed keeping in mind the best practices help students gain advantage over others who complete graduation but fail to undergo such professional training programs. Keeping in mind the increasing competitiveness of the building design and construction industry, attending professional CAD training classes can help students develop acumen of using tools, such as AutoCAD, Revit, and Navisworks, to increase accuracy of the design drawings and construction documents whilst reducing on-site rework and overall project cost. Professional CAD and BIM programs address the skills gaps inherent in graduates so that they are ready to join the industry workforce.

Nevertheless, it is extremely important to choose a CAD training centre which is Autodesk-certified and led by instructors with extensive industry know-how. Although university curriculum provides students an overview of some CAD applications, practical guidance on how these tools fit into the real-life project workflows are few and far between. Students enrolling for Autodesk-certified courses get clarity on the modern project workflows by working on live project assignments.

The professional CAD courses usually have two facets that students need to master: theoretical concepts and live project assignments. After successfully faring well in the theory exams and scoring well in projects, students get institute’s professional certification that serves as an industry validation of their skills and expertise. Apart from this, candidates can opt to take up Autodesk certification exams once they are completely confident on CAD and BIM applications. Autodesk certifications are recognized industry-wide and add significant value to your professional profile.

The combination of hands-on real-life project training and Autodesk certification makes students ready for the modern challenges of the AEC industry whilst helping companies rapidly breach the skills gap in this knowledge-driven market. As a result, taking professional CAD training classes parallel to the full-time graduate courses proves invaluable to give a boost to your career.
