Description
AutoCAD training for PAT
AutoCAD training for grades 11 and 12 IEB and DBE provides students with valuable skills in computer-aided design (CAD) so that they can complete their Practical Assessment Task (PAT). Through hands-on training, students learn how to create precise 2D and 3D drawings, use various drawings and editing tools, and understand the fundamentals of drafting and design principles. This training equips students with essential skills for future careers in architecture, engineering, and design, enhancing their problem-solving abilities and spatial reasoning. The online AutoCAD training for the Practical Assessment Task (PAT) is tailored to align with the different phases of the PAT. It provides students with a structured approach to mastering AutoCAD, ensuring that they can apply their skills effectively to meet the requirements of each phase of the assessment. The online format allows for flexibility in learning, enabling students to access the training materials at their own pace and convenience as the sessions will be recorded for future review.
Available for both DBE (CAPS) and IEB (SAGS) curriculums.
