Curriculum

What you'll learn

MODULE 01

Production Workflow Mastery

Not just software buttons — how real drawing sets get built, organized, revised, and delivered under deadline, using AutoCAD, SketchUp, and rendering tools like D5 Render and Twinmotion.

MODULE 02

Country-Specific Standards

Australian NCC, US construction documentation conventions, and Canadian codes.

MODULE 03

Company Workflow Training

How real firms structure drawing sets, manage revisions, and run QA.

MODULE 04

Production-Ready Skills

Not just theory — train on real, firm-style project workflows from day one.

MODULE 05

Calibration Practice

Practice adapting quickly to a firm's templates, layer conventions, and revision process using real-style calibration packages.

MODULE 06

Onboarding Simulation

Complete a supervised starter task, graded and reviewed — the same proof-of-fit step every pod goes through before real deployment.
