AUTOCAD Architecture Training

This certificate programme at Tamale Technical University trains you in AutoCAD for architecture, within the Faculty of Built and Natural Environment. It is designed for those who want to produce technical drawings and models used in building and construction. The course focuses on practical skills with software that is widely used in the design industry.

What this training covers

Programmes of this kind teach you how to use AutoCAD to create architectural drawings such as floor plans, elevations, sections, and 3D models. You learn drafting conventions, drawing setup, annotation, and how to organise your work using layers and blocks. These skills are essential for turning design ideas into clear technical documents that builders and engineers can use.

Where AutoCAD architecture skills can take you

Most graduates start as CAD technicians or architectural drafters, working in architectural firms, engineering consultancies, contractors, or government departments. With experience, you can move into roles like BIM technician or architectural technologist, or work as a freelance drafter. The training is most useful if you enjoy precise, detail-oriented work and want to be part of the building design process.
