Why it matters

Everything built started as a design.

Every building, product, machine and 3D world begins in CAD and modelling software — and the people who can drive those tools are in demand. Employers just need proof you can. Here's the gap, and how this diploma closes it.

01

The skills are in demand

Construction, manufacturing, engineering, product design and 3D media all run on Autodesk tools — and skilled operators are hard to find.

02

Autodesk is the standard

AutoCAD, Revit, Fusion, Maya and the rest are the industry's default tools. An official Autodesk credential is the proof employers trust.

03

Certified across the board

Seven Autodesk Certified User credentials — CAD, product, architecture and 3D — turn "I can design" into a verifiable, hireable diploma.

Questions

Good to know before you enrol.

How long does it really take?

Twelve months, part-time and guided — paced across all seven exams so you actually finish, rather than drifting.

Do I need design experience?

No. The diploma is built to take a complete beginner all the way to a certified, portfolio-ready designer.

Do I need my own Autodesk software?

You'll work hands-on in the Autodesk apps during in-centre training. We'll advise on free student licences for practising at home.

Is it recognized?

Yes — seven globally recognized Autodesk certifications, plus a nationally accredited ZNQF Level 5 diploma via HEXCO.

Can I just buy the exam vouchers?

If you've trained already, you can certify per app through OneCertificationAway. The diploma bundles training, practice and all seven exams together.

Where are exams sat?

On-site at our Harare centre — a Certiport Authorized Test Centre — so you train and certify in one place.

7 Autodesk certs. A diploma. 12 months.
