Frequently asked questions

01 What is the AutoCAD 2D Basics and Intermediate course about?

Our AutoCAD 2D Basics and Intermediate Training Course helps participants develop practical skills in creating, editing and organising two-dimensional technical drawings using AutoCAD. The programme covers basic drafting commands, object modification, layers, dimensions, annotations, hatching, title blocks, layouts and viewports. Participants will learn how to prepare technical drawings and develop standardised drafting layouts for workplace applications.

02 Is the AutoCAD 2D Basics and Intermediate course suitable for complete beginners?

Yes. This course is designed for participants with zero or minimal knowledge of AutoCAD.

No previous AutoCAD experience is required.

03 What is the difference between AutoCAD 2D Basics from Zero and AutoCAD 2D Basics and Intermediate?

AutoCAD 2D Basics from Zero is a 2-day programme focusing on fundamental drawing and editing techniques, including layers, object modification, dimensioning, annotations and hatching. AutoCAD 2D Basics and Intermediate is a 3-day programme that includes all eight foundational modules from the 2-day Basics course, plus an additional day covering drawing revision objects, boundaries, regions, title blocks, layouts and viewports. The 3-day programme is suitable for participants who want to learn both basic drafting techniques and intermediate drawing organisation skills.

04 What will I learn about title blocks and drawing layouts during the course?

Day 3 introduces the process of creating title blocks from scratch and working with AutoCAD drawing layouts.

These skills help organise technical drawings into consistent formats and support the development of standardised drawing templates for workplace use.

05 What is the difference between AutoCAD 2D Basics and Intermediate and AutoCAD 2D Advanced?

AutoCAD 2D Basics and Intermediate is designed for beginners who want to learn essential drawing techniques and progress to introductory intermediate topics such as title blocks and layouts. AutoCAD 2D Advanced is a separate programme intended for participants who already have a solid understanding of AutoCAD 2D Basics. It covers more advanced drafting features, including dynamic blocks, isometric drawings, tables, Design Centre tools and advanced layout management, as described on the CAD Training Centre website.

06 How long does the AutoCAD 2D Basics and Intermediate course take?

The course takes three days, with training sessions running from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Day 1 focuses on AutoCAD fundamentals, basic drawing creation and layers. Day 2 covers object modification, dimensioning, annotations and hatching, while Day 3 introduces drawing objects, boundaries, title blocks and layouts. The training uses 70% practical hands-on exercises and 30% theory.

07 Do I need to bring my own laptop or purchase an AutoCAD licence?

No. CAD Training Centre provides laptops with AutoCAD installed for participants attending physical classes at our Puchong centre. You do not need to purchase a separate AutoCAD licence for classroom use. You may bring your own laptop if preferred. A training handbook is also provided for reference.
