Overview
Why Attend

AutoCAD Civil 3D has become one of the most widely used tools for producing accurate, coordinated infrastructure designs, connecting survey data, design intent, and construction documentation within a single platform. This training course gives participants hands-on command of Civil 3D, moving from core CAD fundamentals through to advanced infrastructure design workflows used on real engineering projects.

Participants will build strong technical skills in civil engineering design, including accurate terrain modelling from survey and site data, and apply these skills directly to practical road design exercises. The course also strengthens core drafting competency within Civil 3D, giving participants the ability to produce clear, construction-ready drawings and design outputs for infrastructure projects of varying scale.

Course Objectives
