A 270-hour certificate in AutoCAD Civil 3D covering civil engineering design, land development, and infrastructure planning. After an AutoCAD foundation, coursework moves through surveying and mapping, transportation design, and land development, working with 3D site models, GIS and survey data, and complete project documentation. The program covers surface modeling, grading, alignments, profiles, and corridor design for roads and utility networks, along with plan production and the project coordination practices large civil teams use, including FTP systems and shared project databases. It includes elective courses and a capstone, is approved for veterans' education benefits, and comes with a year of AutoCAD and Civil 3D access.

A 90-hour bundle for people who already have some AutoCAD experience and want to move into Civil 3D. The three courses cover surveying and mapping, transportation design, and land development, working with the tools Civil 3D is built around: point markers, surfaces, parcels, and grading. Coursework includes point groups, survey imports, and surface analysis for building accurate TIN surfaces and maps, along with designing and labeling parcels, sites, and feature lines, applying grading groups, and using data shortcuts and drawing templates to keep projects organized. It aligns with the Autodesk Certified Professional exam in Civil 3D for Infrastructure Design and includes four months of software access.

Master advanced Civil 3D techniques used in professional surveying, transportation design, and land development projects. In this hands-on bootcamp, you'll gain practical experience with tools like alignments, profiles, parcels, corridors, grading groups, and pipe networks, all essential for prod...

Gain the skills to read construction blueprints for mixed-use commercial projects, including hotels, retail spaces, and parking, with an emphasis on interrelationships between drawings and how 3D models simplify construction documents.

A 60-hour bundle covering commercial construction drawings across three disciplines. It begins with architectural drawing sets for projects such as office buildings, retail spaces, and hospitality developments, then moves into mechanical, electrical, and plumbing plans and how HVAC, electrical, and plumbing drawings are organized within a full document set. The final course covers structural drawings, including foundations, slabs, framing systems, and the details that show how a building carries load. The emphasis throughout is on how the disciplines connect across a project, which is what makes it possible to spot conflicts between trades early.

At 440 hours across thirteen courses, this is the longest of VDCI's interior design tracks and it focuses on commercial rather than residential work. Coursework covers design principles, color theory, materials and finishes, architectural drafting and graphics, and commercial blueprint reading. The software sequence runs through Revit, including Revit for interior design and Revit with Twinmotion for interior rendering, then SketchUp and Adobe Photoshop, closing with a visual communication and portfolio course. Students produce construction documents, 3D models, and presentation material for commercial spaces.
