Course Overview

The Autodesk AutoCAD Advanced course by Autodesk is designed for experienced design professionals aiming to master complex workflows in 2D drafting and design documentation. This advanced training prepares candidates for the Autodesk Certified Professional (ACP) in AutoCAD for Design and Drafting certification exam, a credential recognized across architecture, engineering, and construction industries. Target roles include CAD drafters, design technicians, and BIM coordinators who require deep proficiency in AutoCAD to meet rigorous project demands. According to Autodesk, professionals with ACP certification typically have between 400 and 1,200 hours of hands-on experience, reflecting industry expectations for mastery and efficiency in real-world design environments.

Participants in the Autodesk AutoCAD Advanced program gain hands-on experience with core tools such as the Layer Manager, Sheet Set Manager, External Reference (Xref) Manager, and Annotation Scaling. The course emphasizes practical lab work using the AutoCAD interface to build and manage complex drawing sets, including configuring named page setups, managing layout viewports, and generating electronic transmittals via eTransmit. Students work within the native AutoCAD desktop environment to complete real-world projects such as assembling multi-sheet construction documents with dynamic data fields, applying precision editing using MEASUREGEOM and COUNT commands, and conducting drawing health audits using RECOVER and PURGE tools. These exercises simulate professional workflows required in architectural and engineering firms.

This course directly prepares learners for the globally recognized Autodesk Certified Professional in AutoCAD for Design and Drafting certification, which remains valid for three years and is highly valued by employers seeking validated expertise. Certified professionals report competitive salary premiums, with senior CAD roles averaging $70,000–$90,000 annually in the U.S., depending on experience and location. Koenig Solutions enhances preparation with official courseware, hands-on practice exams, and a Guaranteed-to-Run schedule, ensuring learners can train with confidence. Completing the Autodesk AutoCAD Advanced curriculum positions professionals to lead complex drafting projects and advance into senior design or BIM management roles.
