Professional Certificate in Civil CADD

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.

AutoCAD

AutoCAD module will teach the students to handle the software with the basic tools and they will learn how to plan and draft 2D drawings, which will then advance up to the 3D designs level.

AutoCAD Civil 3D

AutoCAD Civil 3D AutoDesk Civil 3D software is a civil engineering design and documentation solution that supports Building Information Modeling workflows. It is used for, drafting in 3D Space, documentation, analysis, defining workflows, surveying, and mapping of civil projects in the likes of corridor design, pressure pipe networks, gravity pipe networks, grading, parcel design, bridge modeling, geotechnical modeling, and rail track layout Analysis etc

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
