Do your learners have a knack for drawing on their PC? Do they want to design cars, bikes or even roads and offices? Computer Aided Design (CAD) has now become an important part of the design process, knowledge of CAD is essential for a designer as a passport is for a traveller.

CAD systems are however updated and upgraded constantly by their designers. To keep ahead and up-to-date learners need to ensure that any training course they take, teaches them the very latest developments. City & Guilds now have the Certificate in Computer Aided Design (Paramteric Modelling) and Certificate in Computer Aided Design.
