About this course

Level 1 CAD Parametric Modelling Course in Bodmin. Classes run at STEM and Health Skills Centre on evenings, so you can fit study around your existing commitments. This cad parametric modelling course runs over 10 weeks part-time and introduces you to Computer Aided Design using parametric modelling software. You'll build practical skills in creating and editing 3D models, with guidance from tutors throughout. A design or engineering background can be useful, but it is not required. You'll have an initial assessment to confirm the course is the right fit for you.

Who this course is for

This is a certificated course that is aimed at individuals who want an introduction into the world of Computer Aided Design. Although this course is an introduction, individuals who have used the software have benefited extensively from the skills developed but also the advice and guidance given during the course.

This course would be ideal for people with a design or engineering background, although it is not essential. Some learners use this course as a pathway for career progression/ development or even a change of career.

You would need good basic IT skills, these skills will also be developed as part of the course.

What you will learn

  • You'll learn the core principles of parametric modelling and how CAD software works.
  • You'll create 2D sketches and develop them into 3D parametric models.
  • You'll apply constraints and dimensions to control model geometry accurately.
  • You'll edit and modify existing models using parametric features.
  • You'll produce technical drawings from your 3D models.
  • You'll understand how parametric design is used in engineering and design workflows.

How you will learn

You'll learn through practical, hands-on sessions in the classroom at STEM and Health Skills Centre. Tutor-led instruction guides you through the software step by step. Assessment is based on the work you produce during the course, including models and drawings you create. Your tutor will give feedback throughout to help you develop your skills.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. STEM and Health Skills Centre will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • CAD technician. Create technical drawings and models for engineering or design teams.
