Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Short-Term Certificate)

  • Basic CAD software commands and drafting tools — apply under direct supervision to produce simple architectural or civil drawings in a professional office setting.
  • Hand drafting instruments such as compasses, protractors, and triangles — use following established protocols to complete assigned drawing tasks on entry-level projects.
  • Orthographic and isometric drawing conventions — recognize and replicate under supervisor guidance when preparing standard views for structural plans.
  • Building codes and technical specification documents — read and summarize key requirements with instructor or senior drafter support on assigned projects.
  • Topographic survey data and cross-section profiles — interpret basic information to assist in drafting elevation and contour maps under direct oversight.
  • CAD layer structures and file-naming standards — follow office drafting standards to organize and save drawing files in a document management system.
  • Interior room layout dimensions and clearances — draft simple floor plan arrangements for commercial spaces using CAD software under close supervision.
  • Architectural sketches and field notes — translate into preliminary CAD drawings with guidance from a licensed architect or senior drafter.
  • Mathematics including scale, measurement, and basic geometry — apply accurately when setting up drawing coordinates and dimensions on assigned drafting tasks.
  • Drawing revision markups provided by senior staff — incorporate changes into existing CAD files and verify updates against original redline notes.
