Electrical CAD (AutoCAD Electrical) Course in Katpadi

Katpadi’s college crowd and working professionals near Katpadi Junction choose our centre near Aascars Cinemas to learn Electrical CAD (AutoCAD Electrical) without a long commute. AutoCAD Electrical is Autodesk's version of AutoCAD built for electrical controls design. On top of normal drafting it adds a project manager, standard symbol libraries, smart wires with automatic wire numbering, ladder and PLC I/O tools, panel footprints linked to the schematic, and audits and reports such as bills of material, wire lists and terminal plans.

The course runs as 2 programmes (64–80 h), from foundation to advanced level, so you can start where you are and go as far as you need. By the end you will be able to create and manage AutoCAD Electrical projects and drawings and insert, connect and edit schematic components from libraries and catalogues. The same syllabus and certificate apply at Katpadi, Vellore and Ranipet.

After Electrical CAD (AutoCAD Electrical), roles such as Electrical Draughtsman, Electrical Design Engineer and Control Panel Designer are the usual targets; from Katpadi the nearest employers are the colleges, IT-services firms and railway-junction businesses around Katpadi and the wider Chennai–Bengaluru corridor.

Working through Electrical CAD (AutoCAD Electrical), you will learn to create and manage AutoCAD Electrical projects and drawings, insert, connect and edit schematic components from libraries and catalogues and draw wires, ladders and signal arrows with automatic wire numbering.
