Develop AutoCAD and Civil 3D software skills used to create construction documents and develop civil engineering projects such as roads and highways, rail, bridges and tunnels, site development, and storm and sanitary networks.
The Civil 3D Professional Fast-Track Program is designed for students without AutoCAD experience. You’ll learn the fundamentals of AutoCAD and how to leverage those tools for Civil 3D to prepare a set of construction documents successfully. All courses are taught by practicing professionals through hands-on, project-based training.
All VDCI nationally accredited Fast-Track Programs are accelerated, condensing material into shorter, comprehensive programs. This means you’ll be able to earn a credential and enter the workforce with real-world skills in a fraction of the time of other degrees.
