AutoCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) software application that was first released in 1982. With the automation and intelligence features provided by AutoCAD software, designing life-size models, schematics, and blueprints that actually work is much more doable. When users get stumped during the design process, AutoCAD can recommend solutions, saving them the headache of trying to fix problems by trial and error. AutoCAD’s efficiency and versatility make it a popular choice among Interior Designers, Architects, Engineers, and 3D Printing Specialists.
In addition, AutoCAD is popular for its easy-to-understand plans that allow designers to seamlessly translate their visions so that they can share them with contractors such as painters and demolition crews. AutoCAD’s user-friendliness also makes it accessible for the average person to learn, even without much experience in design. In fact, 3D printing hobbyists often learn AutoCAD as a way to create models for their printing machines. Over time, 3D printing has also become more popular as a way to save time in manufacturing, meaning that AutoCAD is also becoming a more prominent feature in the industry.
As the biggest manufacturing center in Europe, Germany is a prime location to pursue careers involving AutoCAD design, robotics, or 3D printing. In fact, because Germany exports so many electronics, machines, vehicles, and electrical equipment, the country is more resilient against global economic fluctuations than the average world nation. Consequently, AutoCAD specialists in Germany earn comfortable and stable salaries.
German Robotics Engineers earn a salary of roughly $70,000 in the average year, and the salary for a Robotics Software Engineer is approximately $80,000. Generally speaking, however, workers who expand their knowledge and experience can boost their salaries considerably. For example, while most AutoCAD Designers working in Germany earn salaries of $65,000, Senior AutoCAD Designers can earn almost $90,000. Similarly, 3D Printing Specialists who gain additional experience can raise their salaries from $86,000 to $145,000.
Despite the perks of online classes, many students still prefer to learn AutoCAD in-person because of the social environment in-person classes provide. While options for AutoCAD career training are sparse in Germany, several schools offer short in-person AutoCAD courses for beginners and intermediate learners. These courses are typically easy to complete in less than a week and are optimal for students who want to focus on just a few concepts at a time.
Students looking for a beginner-friendly class can attend The Knowledge Academy’s AutoCAD Masterclass, where they’ll learn about AutoCAD drawing techniques. In addition, the course has a module on 2D versus 3D drawing, as well as one on printing versus plotting. Depending on preference, students can opt to take this course onsite or online. With a small class size, The Knowledge Academy’s courses are geared toward team building, which makes them a great setting for making friends with shared interests.
Thorsten Kebel IT Trainings (Kebel) has over 20 campuses throughout Germany where both beginners and intermediate students can access seminar-style courses on AutoCAD topics. Popular campus locations include Berlin, Dresden, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Hanover, Munich, Nuremberg, and Stuttgart.
Novices in Kebel’s AutoCAD Basic Course explore fundamentals such as basic dimension styles, object properties, and precision drawing aids. More experienced designers learn how to change dimensions, give advanced drawing commands, and use external references (xrefs) in the AutoCAD Advanced Course. Unlike the majority of in-person classes, Kebel’s intimate AutoCAD courses don’t feature a social student body. Instead, each student is paired with an instructor for one-on-one mentorship, allowing for personalized training.
Live online classes provide an interactive setting for learning AutoCAD and make it possible for learners to gain experience without commuting or even swapping their pajama bottoms for slacks. Just like in traditional classrooms, online students participate in class discussions in real-time and are even able to ask experts for help with advanced skills.
Students in Germany can join virtual AutoCAD classes taught by Noble Desktop’s expert instructors. Noble offers courses for students at every skill level. Beginners will find it easy to kick off their journey with a short Introduction AutoCAD or AutoCAD Level I class. These laid-back short courses are packaged for students who aren’t ready to commit to a more intensive bootcamp but still want to get up to speed on AutoCAD basics.
The AutoCAD Bootcamp provides comprehensive professional training for serious students, including those preparing for a career in a field like robotics, 3D printing, engineering, or interior design. The course is open to beginners but also explores the full range of intermediate AutoCAD skills. By the time they graduate, students can easily use external references, advanced interface techniques, and data tables.

Students who are looking to make a career out of using AutoCAD might also be interested in their options for career-focused, self-guided courses. These courses allow students to learn at their own pace (with guidance and assistance from a professional mentor) and they provide students with career-focused training and job placement support. While many students find it desirable to learn from a live instructor, these self-paced classes are the perfect fit for self-motivated students looking to make a career out of their AutoCAD training.
The Visual Design and Construction Institute (VDCI) offers an immersive AutoCAD certificate program that aims to help students become career-ready within only a few weeks of training. This program provides students with hands-on, job-focused training in the use of AutoCAD and the course is designed with new students in mind, meaning that you’ll move from your first construction draft to a capstone project to add to your professional portfolio over the course of the certificate program. This program also offers students the opportunity to take up to 80 hours of electives to help them specialize in subjects including Revit, SketchUp, and Civil 3D Pro. With this option for specialization and the focus on career development training, this certificate program is an ideal entry point for aspiring designers, architects, and engineers looking to learn how to use AutoCAD in a professional capacity.
Students looking for an accelerated introduction to AutoCAD and computer-aided design generally may be interested in taking this introductory course offered by VDCI. Students will learn the basics of using AutoCAD and practical skills that they can bring back to their current jobs or use as the baseline for future CAD training (including some of the other advanced classes offered through VDCI). In this class, students will receive hands-on instruction in the use of AutoCAD, including exercises in which they create drafting symbols, kitchens and bath fixtures, a floor plan, and deliverable file sheets. While you’ll need more training if you want to make a career out of your AutoCAD skills, this course is an excellent introduction to the kinds of projects that AutoCAD professionals will need to utilize.
If you have already taken the AutoCAD Fundamentals program or you have experience with AutoCAD from another source, you may be interested in moving towards professional-level training in this advanced AutoCAD program. In this program, students will learn how to create 2D designs for construction documents that meet all of the necessary and legal standards that they are expected to follow. This course offers practical skills training and is designed to ensure that experienced AutoCAD users are able to get the accelerated training they need to use the application in more complex professional contexts. This course is built to help students learn at their own pace and class scheduling is incredibly flexible for professionals looking to develop new skills while still working.
