Diploma of Civil Draftsman

Course Description:

The Diploma of Civil Draftsman program trains students in the principles and techniques of drafting and design in civil engineering. The curriculum focuses on creating accurate and detailed drawings for construction projects, including roads, bridges, and buildings. Students learn to use industry-standard software such as AutoCAD and Revit, developing skills in technical drawing, 3D modeling, and project documentation.

Through practical exercises and projects, students gain experience in collaborating with engineers and architects to produce drawings that meet regulatory standards and design specifications. The program aims to equip graduates with the skills necessary to support civil engineering projects effectively.
