Course Selection FAQs

Which CAD course is best for civil engineering students?
AutoCAD is the most widely required skill for civil engineers. We recommend starting with AutoCAD, then progressing to Revit Architecture depending on your specialisation. See our Civil CAD courses for the full range.
Which software should a mechanical engineering student learn?
For mechanical engineers, SolidWorks is the most in-demand parametric modelling tool. CATIA and NX CAD are preferred in aerospace and automotive sectors. See our Mechanical CAD courses for the full range.
I have no prior CAD experience. Can I still join?
Yes. All our courses are designed to start from fundamentals. No prior CAD experience is required. Our instructors cover the basics before advancing to industry-level projects.
How do I choose between classroom and online training?
Choose classroom training if you are in Bangalore, prefer in-person guidance, and benefit from lab access. Choose online training if you are outside Bangalore, have a fixed work schedule, or prefer the flexibility of attending from home.

Civil CAD & BIM FAQs

What is the career scope of AutoCAD for civil engineers?
AutoCAD is the industry-standard 2D drafting tool used by civil engineers across government departments, construction companies, infrastructure firms and consultancies.
What BIM courses does CADD Mentors offer?
We offer Revit Architecture and Revit MEP training as part of our BIM programme. See our BIM courses page for details.
Which is better for architecture: AutoCAD or Revit?
AutoCAD and Revit serve different purposes. AutoCAD is used for 2D drafting and detail drawings. Revit is a BIM tool used for 3D models, coordination and construction documentation. Many architecture and AEC firms use both, so learning AutoCAD first and then Revit is the recommended path.
