Course Description

In this course “Electrical Drafting | AutoCAD” we have covered the low voltage electrical system, and for the low voltage system, we have designed this course to introduce you, to help you, and to train you in the electrical drafting that will enhance your career and make you a skilled professional design engineer in the field of electrical drafting.

Electrical drafting is a key role in the Electrical design field. This is a fast-paced program designed to present all major topics related to the design of Electrical Building Services. Learners will learn concept theory of drafting, system design, AutoCAD software, and Electrical services drafting.

To make learning easy and interesting, the completed course is divided into three parts:

1. Basics of the Electrical Drafting

2. AutoCAD Software

3. Electrical Services Drafting

In the first part we have discussed some basic means of drafting, why the drafting of plans is needed and important and how these drawings are helpful for the world, and also discussed some essential steps that every designer should follow in drafting the plans in AutoCAD or any other software.

Then in the AutoCAD part, the software will be discussed how to work with AutoCAD, how to make changes in AutoCAD settings, project settings, etc., how to draw figures, how to edit them and modify the existing figures and much more we will explain this part step by step. Then, in the end, you will see the very good command in AutoCAD the Print command, after creating any drawing next you want to share with others or want to print on papers so that you will learn here.

Finally, in the third part, you will be introduced to the electrical services layouts. Starting with the Electrical Legends where you will learn how to draw electrical symbols in AutoCAD then will move to the Single Line Diagram (SLD) of the low voltage system, this SLD is the heart of the electrical system not only in execution work but it is always important during execution, operation and during maintenance also. After this will come to the lighting layouts, how to draw lighting fixtures layout, how to create normal and power sockets layouts, etc. will be discussed in this topic. Then go for the electrical wiring layouts and in this topic, you will learn how to develop a Lighting Control Wiring layout, conduits layouts, and cable tray layouts. At the final stage, you will be coming for CCTV system layouts, how to draw CCTV legends, where to provide CCTV cameras and where not, how to interconnect them, etc. will be explained in this topic.

The uniqueness of this course is that learners will not be explained AutoCAD drawings directly instead first I will talk about that layout means if we have to draw lighting layout so in that topic first, I will explain what is light, types of lighting fixtures, related terms to the lighting designing, etc., then will go for the drafting.

This certificate training course introduces the basic range of Electrical Building Services including the topics: Electrical Legends, Lighting Layout, Raw Power Layout, Wiring layouts, Conduit layouts, Cable trays, CCTV Systems, etc. Each topic is presented to demonstrate the “real world” impact of design decisions on resulting system performance.

This course has lifetime access, so you can come back and watch the videos anytime, anytime you want.

I am sure that you will be confident to use the software AutoCAD and draw the electrical plans after you finished this course.

So, enroll now and see you in the course…………….

hi my name is cusmaan and i am 5th cemister of electricale engineer and i also have the skils of electrcian so i need to learn this course becouse i want to take big projects of resedential buildings so this course helps me to reach my goal that is why i am hear . teacher

By Sanju M Sathyan on 7/4/2025

i was initially not sure about whether to choose this course or not, because there were many options available to learn autocad. But, without a doubt i would say for a complete beginner this would be the best course. the main highlight of the course was that all the things are discussed in detail covering even the smallest of aspects possible. At once u get a doubt, and the next second the same is discussed in the video. extremely good structure of teaching is used. i would recommend it 100% to all begginers

By Allucard Chris Gerald M. Evangelista on 5/6/2025

This is a great course! I particularly appreciate when a tool is introduced alongside a demonstration of its use in a real drafting scenario. For example, when discussing the 'Array' command, a short clip shows how the tool is applied in practice. I believe this approach should be used for all tools mentioned in the AutoCAD course to enhance understanding. Then at the end give us assignment where we can use all the tools and have our own drawings and can be used as our portfolio. But, overall, this is great! :)

It was all lecture and no interactive learning. He works on certain drawing that aren't available for download anywhere. When I went to the Q & A there was a request from a year ago asking where we can download the .dwg's with no response.

Excellent Course! I am really grateful for having the opportunity to take this amazing Electrical drafting course. Prior to this course, I have no knowledge on electrical drafting and I am passionate in becoming an electrical designing engineer.

By Mohamed Seif on 2/8/2023

Explaining the basic components of electric draft in details was useful. However I wish the drawings used in the CCTV area and cables were available as a reference for better understanding.

By Devara Zain Al Adid on 1/10/2023

It covers the basic components of AutoCAD, but the drafting part is below my expectation. A lot of theory here. There is no example of real cases of how to use the drafting part. Now, on 11 January 2023, there is no file attachment in this course, and there is no mini quiz or exam. It could've been better.

By Zingani Sakala on 6/6/2022

This is a very helpful course to someone without AutoCAD background but with enough electrical engineering design know-how. I will always appreciate the lessons learned.

By Otieno Habil Ogada on 2/20/2022

handled very professionally. I feel I'm an expert after taking this course. but you should have at least provided us with samples of plans to help draft on our own

By Mallikarjun Viswanthan on 8/8/2021

The content of the course is Benchmark highly for the beginners ,willing to learn the basics of AutoCAD Electricals. The topics are explained well in details for Electrical Legends, different layouts in electrical & CCTV system.
