The course is run in an online format. Throughout our innovative and powerful Virtual Campus, a dynamic and flexible environment is provided so the student can follow the course at his or her pace.

Within this virtual platform, students are in continuous contact with professor in a tailored way, solving questions together, and widening knowledge and acquiring new skills. Students can also interact with other students and professors through webinars and forums.

Plenty of content can be found in the Campus: eLearning material, videos, technical articles, manuals, complementary documentation, real examples and exercises.

This course is aimed at individuals who are just entering the civil engineering field as well as those who are already in the field and want to enhance their knowledge and skills in planning, designing, drafting, and editing civil engineering projects. This Civil 3D course will also be additional training for individuals that are civil engineering technologists/technicians, architectural technologists/technicians, engineers, planners, contractors, drafters, CAD professionals and related consultants who want to improve their civil engineering and land planning skills.

As evidence of knowledge gained throughout the course, a certificate will be issued from the Virtual platform. This certificate is based on the modern technology Blockchain, which increases security, prevents fraud, builds trust and ensures you’re ready for the future.

Upon completion of this course, individuals may be able to obtain employment as a Roadway Designers, and Drafters; Municipal Designer and or Land Development Designer working on projects including but not limited to highways, bridges, water and sewage systems, subdivisions, and site-plan projects.
