About the Class

Design professionals who wish to gain proficiency in computer-aided drafting (CAD) software should consider an AutoCAD certification training program, which prepares students for the certification exam. AutoCAD certification training equips students with computer-aided design knowledge that is valuable in the drafting and design field. After training is complete, students are eligible to take the certification exam authorized by Autodesk, the developers of AutoCAD.
Basics of an AutoCAD Certification

AutoCAD Certification training programs can be completed online through several colleges and universities. The curriculum for an AutoCAD certification program focuses on such topics as AutoCAD fundamentals, preparing 2D and 3D drawings and models, template development and editing techniques. Programs are of various durations, but some are self-paced. After training is complete, students are prepared to take the Autodesk AutoCAD certification exam.

What Can I Do With an AutoCAD Certification?
An AutoCAD certification leads to drafting and design opportunities in such industries as manufacturing, digital media, engineering and architecture. Computer-aided design training is often necessary in many professions, such as landscape architecture, commercial and industrial design, interior design, fashion design and architecture. AutoCAD professionals can gain employment as CAD architects, special effects artists, game design animators, architectural draftsmen and CAD Civil Engineers. Many AutoCAD professionals work as independent contractors. Employment Outlook for Careers Related to AutoCAD Certification.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, employment opportunities for drafters should increase 6% between 2006 and 2016, with the average annual salary range between $41,960 and $43,700 in 2006. The BLS reports that salaries can vary widely depending on industry and experience. Organizations, such as the American Design Drafting Association, also known as the American Digital Design Association, www.adda.org, provide continuing education, resources and networking opportunities to drafting and design professionals.
