Why Attend This Training Course?

AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) solution for civil engineering design and documentation. AutoCAD Civil 3D helps civil engineering professionals working on transportation, land development, and water projects stay coordinated and more easily and efficiently explore design options, analyze project performance, and deliver consistent, higher quality documentation—all within a familiar AutoCAD® environment.  Get skills used by industry professionals, by learning certification exam topics such as points, parcels, surveying, surfaces and grading, alignments and profiles, corridors and sections, pipe networks, and plan production and data management. Follow along with lessons, datasets, and exercises to practice and review the exam topics on your own. You can also test your knowledge by taking a practice test to prepare for the certification exam. It’s all about practice and preparation.

What Is The Training Course Methodology?

This training course methodology depends on enabling participants to interact and exchange experiences, explore their competencies and achieve their career aspirations, using forward-thinking training arts, such as theoretical lectures and/or open discussion to exchange opinions and experiences, scenarios, innovative thinking brainstorming. Participants will receive an agenda including training material as a reference, in addition to some extra notes and booklets. 

Who Should Attend This Training Course?

The Autodesk Certified Professional (ACP) certification is designed for candidates who have advanced skills and can solve complex challenges in workflow and design. This type of experience typically comes from having worked with the software on a regular basis for at least two years, or equivalent to approximately 400 hours (minimum) to 1,200 hours (recommended) of Autodesk software experience. Certification at this level demonstrates a comprehensive skill set that provides an opportunity for individuals to stand out in a competitive job market.

What Are The Training Course Objectives?

• Work with points and point groups, parcels, surveying tools, surfaces, alignments, and profiles.

• Create corridors, sections, pipe, and pressure networks.

• Use workflows for plan production, such as creating note label styles, view frames and sheets, and data shortcuts.

• Review the topics covered on the Autodesk Certified Professional in Civil 3D for Infrastructure Design exam.
