AutoCAD Advance (Architecture + Structure + MEP)

The AutoCAD Advance (Architecture + Structure + MEP) Course the next step toward transdisciplinary drafting professional CAD design. This curriculum, which is designed for students who already know the fundamentals, delays further into architectural design, structural detailing, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) systems giving you the tools you need to confidently take on challenging real world projects.

For professionals, architects, engineers, and students who wish to go beyond the basics of drafting, this application is a great option because it is designed to conform to Singapore National CAD Standards (CP83) and Global CAD standards. In order to ensure that each participant learns how to manage comprehensive design documentation across several disciplines, it is intended to close the gap between fundamental AutoCAD abilities and industry-ready workflows.

You will learn how to use advanced AutoCAD capabilities including layer management, dynamic blocks, constraints, isometric and perspective drawings, rebar detailing, HVAC planning, plumbing layouts, and electrical systems through guided tutorials, real-world projects, and hands-on activities. Mini projects that mimic real-world situations are incorporated into each subject to help you develop hands-on, employable skills.

Along with honing your technical drafting abilities, QP Academy’s AutoCAD Advanced course will teach you how to organize architecture, structural, and MEP designs in a polished workflow. This course equips you to work on interdisciplinary projects, produce excellent documentation, and boldly pursue career progression and Autodesk Certification.
