Upon entering the class you would begin on the drafting boards learning how to hand draft. You will be learning basic drafting techniques before going onto learning how to draw floor plans, foundations, elevations, truss layouts, and sections. Once completing this you will have a final Basic House Plan project to turn in. You will then proceed to learning the AutoCAD program along with going deeper in building plans, electrical plans and site plans. Part of the AutoCAD program also includes learning 3D modeling and presentation drawings. To complete the course you will be creating and designing your own house plans. This is an open ended program that can be started at anytime.

On a regular basis we receive job placement inquiries from the Orlando area workforce with the possibility of internships while completing the AutoCAD portion of the class.
