Diploma Construction & Engineering 06 months Online or blended

Diploma in Technical Drafting

Learn the drawing conventions and construction knowledge needed to communicate technical design clearly.

What you'll study

  • Drawing standards, scales, geometry and projection
  • Freehand sketching and reading technical information
  • Construction elements and architectural drawing conventions
  • Plans, sections, elevations and assembly details
  • CAD documentation, dimensions and revision control
  • Coordinating a drawing package and responding to a design brief

Proposed study themes — confirmed against the issuing body's module list where one applies.

The emphasis is drawing principles and construction communication; the AutoCAD diploma concentrates more deeply on that software workflow.

Entry requirements

  • Age 17 or above; GCE O/L or equivalent secondary education, or relevant practical experience.
  • Basic mathematics, spatial reasoning and computer literacy.
  • No advanced CAD experience required; applicants complete a short drawing-readiness activity.
