What is CAD training and why is it so important?

CAD (Computer-Aided Design) is the art of creating technical drawings and 3D models digitally. Anyone who can work with CAD is worth their weight in gold in today's industry - and salaries are often between SEK 38,000 and 65,000 per month depending on experience and role.

After completing CAD training, you can work as, for example:

  • CAD draftsman
  • CAD designer
  • Mechanical engineer
  • Product developer
  • Industrial designer
  • Building constructor
  • Freelancers in 3D modeling
