Professional Certificate in Building Design

This Professional Certificate at CADD Centre Lanka allows you to have a professional level software learning and training in your respective field. All programs are a combination of 3 or 4 certificate level programs that broaden your skill set in the chosen domain.

The software training included in this course are the major software packages used in the Architecture Industry, hence, this course will provide the essential training required to upgrade your skills and also have a reputable skill upgrade qualification.

Since our courses are skill based, the basic minimum educational qualification to join a Professional Certificate Programme is A Level. However certain advanced tools might require a pre-requisite, kindly cross check with the program coordinator for course specific details.

Autodesk Revit Architecture

Autodesk Revit Architecture is a Building Information Modelling software tool which allows users to design a building and its components in 3D, annotate the model with 2D drafting elements and access building information from the building models database. Revit comes with tools to plan and track various stages in the building's lifecycle, from concept to construction and later demolition.

ETABS

ETABS is a highly efficient Finite Element Analysis based analysis and design program developed especially for building systems. It is loaded with an integrated system with an ability to handle the largest and most complex building models and configurations. The software has powerful CAD-like drawing tools with a graphical and object-based interface. It increases the productivity of structural engineers. It saves a significant amount of time and money over the general-purpose programs

STAAD.Pro

STAAD.Pro is one of the most widely-used software for developing and analysing the designs of various structures, such as petrochemical plants, tunnels, bridges etc. STAAD.Pro, the latest version, allows civil engineering individuals to analyse structural designs in terms of factors like force, load, displacements etc. STAAD.Pro training builds expertise in using the software at a professional level in domains, including construction companies, government agencies, architecture firms etc

Microsoft Project

Microsoft Project is a Project Management software that is developed by Microsoft to assist Project Managers to develop Project Plans, assigning resources to tasks, tracking project progress and optimizing workflows

Oracle Primavera

Oracle Primavera is a software tool that is used to initiate, plan, execute, monitor & control, and complete a project within the estimates of schedule, budget, and resources. Also, Oracle Primavera allows the ability to manage consecutive projects at the same time and maintain a portfolio.

Project Management Concepts

Project Management Concepts introduces the student about much needed knowledge on the main strategic project management concepts

This Professional Certificate is offered to students to be qualified to use the software through four pathways, which are:

Pathway 1

Revit Architecture + STAAD.Pro + Microsoft Project + PPM Concepts

Pathway 2

Revit Architecture + STAAD.Pro + Oracle Primavera + PPM Concept

Pathway 3

Revit Architecture + CSI ETABS + Microsoft Project + PPM Concepts

Pathway 4

Revit Architecture + CSI ETABS + Oracle Primavera + PPM Concepts
