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.
