The job, day to day
Today, a civil engineering project is drawn, modelled and calculated on computer. Design offices and contractors look for people who can produce clean drawings, digital models and calculation notes, quickly and without error. This software has become a skill in its own right, one that makes the difference when hiring.
The course is entirely hands-on. You learn computer-aided technical drawing, from layout to dimensioning, then three-dimensional building modelling. You then move on to structural analysis and quantity software, to go from the model to quantities and calculation results. Every session ends with a real exercise.
In three months, you add an immediately useful skill to your profile. The course is designed for technicians, students and building professionals who want to work faster and better.
