This course will equip you with practical, job-ready 3D CAD skills using industry-standard Autodesk Fusion 360. You will learn how to confidently design, prototype, and communicate ideas in a modern digital environment.
By the end of the course, you will have the skills to produce professional 3D models and technical drawings, supporting real-world applications across engineering, manufacturing, and product design. Successful learners will also have the opportunity to achieve Autodesk certification, a globally recognised credential valued by employers
This classroom-based course provides a hands-on introduction to 3D CAD modelling using a modern, cloud-based design platform. It is designed for individuals new to CAD, as well as those currently working in engineering, manufacturing, construction, or product development who want to develop core digital design skills.
The course focuses on building practical skills in designing accurate 3D models, producing technical drawings, and creating simple assemblies. Learners will gain an understanding of key concepts such as parametric modelling, design intent, and feature-based modelling.
Through applied learning, you will develop the confidence to use CAD tools in professional environments and prepare for Autodesk certification. This course also supports progression into more advanced CAD, CAD/CAM, and product development training.
This course is designed for individuals interested in developing skills in 3D design, engineering, manufacturing, or product development.
Specific Entry Requirements:
