AutoCAD Level 1
AutoCAD is a leading Computer Aided Design software that is used worldwide by professionals like architects, interior designers and engineers. The well-developed and fully functional Graphical Interface helps the user to design, analyze and modify projects
with ease.
This course is designed as a starting point for new users. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Create 2D drawings using drawing and editing tools
- Organize drawing objects on layers
- Add text and basic dimensions
- Plotting
For maximum flexibility, the course is divided into two parts, the first presenting essential skills, the second covering more sophisticated techniques for drawing setup and productivity.
AutoCAD Level 2
Using hands-on exercises representing real-world, industry-specific design scenarios, students explore the fundamental concepts and workflows for creating 3D models using AutoCAD. Students learn how to create and modify both solid and surface models. This course
also teaches students how to present their designs while they are still being created, using visualization tools such as visual styles, model walk and fly through, materials, and lighting. Students also learn how to output 3D models from AutoCAD to either
paper or a distributive electronic version.
This advanced course will cover:
- Advanced object control and selection
- Advanced object creation and modelling using wire frame, surface, and solids.

St.Hua Private School is established in 1997 by a group of experienced graduates from recognized universities such as National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
Additionally, most of our courses are subsidized by SkillsFuture credit, an initiative offered by the Singapore Government to upgrade Singapore Citizens’ skills by providing each citizen with $500 in funding to partake any eligible course they wish.
Ultimately, we aim to ensure that students are better equipped with the necessary skill sets to meet the requirements of society, to prepare them for the workforce and to enhance and elevate current workers’ skills so that they can better fit their current job and propel them to further heights in Singapore society.
Furthermore, St.Hua Private School is recognized and accepted by CPE (Council of Private Education) to practice as a private school from 9th January 2017 to 8th January 2021.
