Drafting
If you are artistic, spatially aware and skilled in technology, you may
wish to consider a career in drafting. Drafters prepare technical drawings
and plans in a whole range of industries, including architecture, mechanical
and civil engineering. Architectural drafting requires the drawing of
the architectural and structural features of buildings and other structures.
There is scope to specialize in residential or commercial structure, or
materials such as concrete, masonry, steel and timber.
Drafting Schools
Drafting traditionally required drawing boards, but now use CADD systems.
However drafters still need to be trained, skilled professionals to carry
out their role. Training in drafting ranges from certification to studying
drafting as part of a wider degree. Modern drafting schools combine the
fundamentals of drafting with the up-do-date CADD systems. You can choose
to study full-time, part-time or online.
Careers in Drafting
There is a wide range of careers available in drafting post-training.
As drafting becomes more dependent on technology, opportunities will be
best for drafters with at least two years' training. In addition to architecture,
you can specialize in aeronautical drafting, electrical drafting, mechanical
drafting and process piping or pipeline drafting. Architecture and construction
offer the most opportunities.
