Computer-Aided Drafting

This program is intended for those individuals who wish to obtain employment in career fields where the production of technical drawings is an integral part of the organization’s day-to-day operations. Course offerings are tailored to two option areas: programming administration and surveying administration.  Both of the option areas below address specific skill specialization areas within the drafting profession. Depending upon the option selected, the total course of instruction takes either 200 or 280 hours, with a Certificate of Completion awarded. Both options can be completed in as little as three quarters, but actual completion time will be a factor of individual student desires and scheduling. Four quarters is considered nominal time to finish any of the three options available. All courses must be completed as listed for a certificate to be awarded, unless evidence of prior learning can be provided.

These also are available to industry professionals and others who have had prior computer aided drafting experience and wish to upgrade their skills and knowledge in specific areas. Students are welcome to take any course when offered which they feel may be of benefit and for which they have met any listed prerequisites. All courses emphasize hands-on training and are taught using the latest versions of AutoCAD software. Practical application is stressed wherever possible. Renton Technical College is an authorized Autodesk® Training Center.
