Industry-standard 2D and 3D drafting — the first tool every civil and mechanical drawing career starts with, taught on real drawings rather than exercise sheets.

AutoCAD Course in Phagwara

AutoCAD is where a drafting career begins, and this three-month course treats it as a working tool rather than a menu tour. You start with the drawing environment, coordinate systems and the discipline of drawing to scale, then move through the commands a draughtsman actually uses all day — lines, arcs, trims, offsets, arrays and hatching — until they are muscle memory rather than something you look up.

Overview

Course overview

AutoCAD is where a drafting career begins, and this three-month course treats it as a working tool rather than a menu tour. You start with the drawing environment, coordinate systems and the discipline of drawing to scale, then move through the commands a draughtsman actually uses all day — lines, arcs, trims, offsets, arrays and hatching — until they are muscle memory rather than something you look up. From there the course covers the parts that separate a drawing from a deliverable: layers and object properties, blocks and attributes, dimensioning to standard, annotation scaling, and layouts with title blocks and viewports set up for print. 3D modelling basics follow for students who need them. Every module ends in a drawing a trainer marks against drafting standards rather than for appearance, and you finish with a portfolio of print-ready drawings you can show to a site office or a design firm.

What You’ll Learn

Every module ends in something you have built and a trainer has reviewed, so the list below is work you will have done rather than topics you will have heard about.

  • 01

    The drawing environment, coordinate systems and the discipline of drawing to scale

  • 02

    The daily command set

    lines, arcs, trim, offset, array, mirror and hatching — at working speed

  • 03

    Layers, object properties and drawing organisation a second person can pick up

  • 04

    Blocks, attributes and reusable libraries that cut repeat work

  • 05

    Dimensioning and annotation to drafting standards, with annotation scaling handled properly

  • 06

    3D modelling basics for solids and simple assemblies

  • 07

    Layouts, title blocks and viewports set up for print-ready output

  • 08

    A portfolio of drawings marked against standards rather than appearance

SyllabusHands-on

Course Curriculum

The syllabus is arranged so every module produces an asset rather than a set of notes. You will cover month 1 — drawing environment & core commands, month 2 — organisation, blocks & documentation, month 3 — 3d basics, layouts & portfolio, and finish with a live project built on AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, Layer & block libraries. Modules run in the order a real project runs: foundations first, then the core skills, then applied work under supervision, then the portfolio and interview preparation that turn all of it into an offer letter.

Eligibility

Who can do this course

  • 01

    Students after 12th

    Join from any stream. You start from fundamentals with no assumed knowledge, and most students run the course alongside a degree at a Phagwara college using the weekday or weekend batch.

  • 02

    Graduates and final-year students

    If you are finishing a BA, BBA, B.Com, BCA or B.Tech, this is the shortest route from degree to salary. Enter placement season with project work in hand instead of a blank CV.

  • 03

    Working professionals

    The weekend batch exists for people already earning. Career switchers typically become interview-ready for Trainee Executive roles within five to six months without leaving their current job.

  • 04

    Business owners and freelancers

    Owners take this course to stop outsourcing work they cannot judge. Freelancers take it to bill clients beyond Punjab, since location does not limit remote work in this field.

  • 05

    Career restarters

    A gap on the CV counts for less than work you can point at. The course starts at zero and finishes with a portfolio and a documented internship letter, which is what an interviewer asks about after a break.

  • 06

    Self-taught learners

    If free videos left you with notes but nothing built, what changes here is a trainer who reviews what you produced this week and a deadline attached to every module.

The case for it

Why this programme
is worth your year

Every construction, fabrication and interior firm in this region runs on drawings, and a fresher who can produce one to standard without supervision is immediately billable. That gap is the whole argument for this course: there is local demand, there are budgets, and there are very few trained people to hand the work to.

The case for it

Build skills that hold up beyond the classroom.

What separates this from a playlist of tutorials is supervision on real work. From the second half of the course you build on live client projects with a trainer beside you, make decisions that have consequences, and correct them the following week. That loop is the skill. No employer in Phagwara will take your word for it without work they can inspect.

Be realistic about the money. A fresher who finishes with a working portfolio starts near the bottom of the band and moves quickly; someone who finishes with a certificate and nothing to show does not. The difference is entirely what you built.

The alternative is what most people try first: free videos, a cheap online course, six months of drifting, and knowledge you cannot demonstrate. A structured programme with live projects, a mentor who corrects you, an internship letter and a placement cell that actually calls employers is the difference between knowing the subject and being hired to do it.

Students reach the Phagwara centre from Banga, Nakodar, Kartarpur and the university belt, and the weekend batch exists so a job or a degree does not have to be paused to attend.

  • 01

    Demand employers state plainly

    Employers here consistently ask for demonstrable project work over certificates alone. That gap is the whole argument for this course: there is local demand, there are budgets, and there are very few trained people to hand the work to.

  • 02

    Supervision on real work

    What separates this from a playlist of tutorials is supervision. From the second half of the course you build on live client projects with a trainer beside you, make decisions that have consequences, and correct them the following week. That loop is the skill.

  • 03

    Honest about the money

    A fresher who finishes with a working portfolio typically starts around ₹15,000 – ₹28,000 a month locally, and moves up quickly with experience. The ceiling is high, but it is earned — nobody pays a beginner well for a certificate alone.

  • 04

    Better than the usual alternative

    The alternative is what most people try first: free videos, a cheap online course, six months of drifting, and knowledge you cannot demonstrate. A mentor who corrects you, an internship letter and a placement cell that actually calls employers is the difference between knowing the subject and being hired to do it.

Why now

Every Build in This Region Starts as a Drawing

  • Construction, fabrication and interior firms all work from drawings, and all of them need someone who can produce one to standard.
  • A fresher draughtsman typically starts around ₹12,000 – ₹22,000 a month locally, rising with experience and a second tool.
  • Three months is enough to become genuinely useful in a drawing office, which makes this the fastest route in the section to a first technical job.
  • It is also the foundation the Revit, SolidWorks and 3ds Max tracks build on — nothing here is wasted if you specialise later.

The working loop

Learn it. Build it. Make it yours.

Every project moves through the same loop: understand the brief, build with guidance, then explain the decisions behind your work.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Take a real requirement apart before touching a tool — what is being asked, what it needs, and which part to build first.

    Precision Drawing Set

  2. 02

    Build

    Work hands-on with your trainer watching the screen, so a wrong turn is caught in the same session rather than three weeks later.

    Block Library & Annotated Plan

  3. 03

    Present

    Walk through what you built and why you built it that way. This is the interview rehearsal, run against every project rather than once at the end.

Why techcadd

Why students choose techcadd

There are many places to learn this in Phagwara and the brochure syllabus looks similar at all of them. What differs is who teaches, whether you ever touch real work, and whether anyone picks up the phone after you have paid. techcadd has trained students across Punjab since 2007 on the same model: small batches, working practitioners as trainers, client projects as coursework.

  • Trainers who still do the work

    Your trainer is not a full-time lecturer. They deliver client projects for techcadd’s services arm, so examples in class are current rather than a case study from five years ago.

  • Live projects, real consequences

    You work on genuine client requirements under supervision. This is where a portfolio comes from, and it is the first thing an interviewer asks to see.

  • Small batches and open lab hours

    Batches stay small enough that a trainer sees your screen daily. Lab time runs outside class hours and doubt sessions continue until the concept lands.

  • Internship letter and certificate

    Every student finishes with an industry-recognised certificate and a documented internship on real work, accepted for university industrial training requirements.

  • A placement cell that persists

    Mock interviews, CV reviews and drives with hiring partners across Phagwara, Jalandhar and Ludhiana, repeated after a rejection, not abandoned.

  • Since 2007, 25,000+ students

    Nearly two decades of hiring relationships in Punjab is why a call from our placement cell gets answered and why local employers know what our certificate means.
