City & Guilds Level 2 Award in 2D Computer Aided Design (using Autocad) is an ideal qualification for anyone employed at any level in the design or manufacturing sector to achieve, particularly if you wish to increase your knowledge and skills in order to progress your career. Autocad is used extensively in the fields of construction, engineering and product design with employers in these industries increasingly requiring their employees to become skilled in using CAD
Skills Focus funding is available towards course fees for eligible employers to up skill staff or for self employed students. For further details contact linda.clarke@swc.ac.uk.
This course is delivered in a blended format. Week 1 and 2 will be delivered in a classroom (usually Dungannon campus) this allows you to meet your tutor and ensure your software is downloaded and working on your personal hardware (PC or laptop) before moving to remote delivery. Week 3 - Week 20 can be taken from home with the tutor delivering the lesson live each evening.
No previous design or CAD skills are required to join the course as the teaching approach leads all students at their own individual pace through a progression of computer drawn exercises designed to increase student skill and promote achievement of the qualification.
Students will complete an assignment throughout the course.
Students who are proficient in 2D AutoCAD may progress onto OCN NI Level 4 BIM/Revit Building Information Modelling for the Construction sector or Level 2 3D Parametric Modelling for Engineering.
Please note it is not necessary to upload evidence of your qualifications for this course as there is no minimum entry criteria. The only entry criteria we ask for is that you are IT literate and you have an interest in the actual course.
