I started this job with no CAD experience, put myself through C&G 4351 level 2 and to be honest it didn't teach me anything I hadn't already picked up with the job anyway but having the qualification to back it all up always helps.

I design straight to CAD as I find it quicker than putting it on paper for someone to draught, but that's just me - I would say experience of the trade you wish to work in would be good as it always helps when someone is doing CAD that they can draught with a bit of common sense rather than just draw what's been put on paper for them, mistakes and all.

Perhaps it might be worth dropping a few letters out to companies in the trade you want to work in explaining you are taking the qualification and whether they would be willing to let you have either some drawings you can use to practise with or any cad work you can offer to do for them.
The biggest thing that will stop you getting any work is going to be experience out in the field.

slight hijack....


does anyone know how much the auto CAD program is? a large proportion of my b-tec was cad baised and i just want to draw some more.

ChrisW70:
For the LT version about £200 - £250, for the full blown version over two grand  :shock:

My farther keeps banging on about a free CAD program called "Solid Edge". Reckons its the DB's. He used Autocad for years as a prefessional engineer.
