The Level 2 CAD 2D Computer Aided Design program at Belfast Metropolitan College is a non-degree course for students looking to develop their skills in computer-aided design. This one-year program is taught in English and helps students gain practical experience. Its main advantage is that it provides students with hands-on training in a field with growing demand.

The curriculum focuses on specific subjects like 2D CAD design, where students learn to create technical drawings and plans using computer software. They develop skills in drafting, modeling, and rendering, which are essential for a career in design and engineering. The program also includes hands-on components, such as project work and assignments, to help students apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems.

Upon completion of the program, students can pursue careers as CAD technicians, design assistants, or engineering drafters. They can work in various industries, including architecture, engineering, and manufacturing. Potential employers include construction companies, design firms, and government agencies. Other possible job titles for graduates include junior designers, technical illustrators, and product designers.
