Master Autodesk AutoCAD® through hands-on learning with the Isograd Learning Lab and earn the Tosa certification. This is not just a course; it’s a structured way to build real skills and prove you can use them.
Computer-aided design (CAD) plays a critical role in architecture, engineering, manufacturing, construction, and many other technical industries. Professionals use CAD software to create accurate technical drawings, communicate design ideas, and develop plans that can be used throughout the design and production process. AutoCAD® is one of the most widely recognized CAD applications in the industry, making it a valuable skill for students, designers, drafters, engineers, and technical professionals.
This course is designed to build a strong understanding of the tools, concepts, and workflows used in technical drafting and design with AutoCAD®. Through tasks and quizzes, you will explore how drawings are created, organized, modified, annotated, and prepared for output. By the end of the course, you will understand the foundational principles and industry best practices used in computer-aided design and be prepared for industry-recognized certification objectives.
This course is designed to take learners from foundational CAD concepts to a comprehensive understanding of AutoCAD® drafting workflows through a structured, progressive learning path.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the key tools, techniques, and processes used to create and manage professional technical drawings.
Key topics include:
Each lesson builds on the previous one, following a logical progression—from setup to mastery—so learners develop skills in a connected, real-world context. This structured approach mirrors how digital skills are best acquired: incrementally and with clear, measurable outcomes.
Designed for flexibility and confidence-building, the Isograd Learning Lab empowers learners to:
The result: learners don’t just understand Autodesk AutoCAD®—they gain the confidence to use independently.

The Isograd Learning Lab is built around one core principle: you learn by doing.
Instead of passively watching tutorials, learners work through tasks and quizzes, applying concepts and checking their understanding as they go.
How the learning experience works:
This approach aligns with proven active learning models, where engagement and retention increase when learners apply skills in context rather than merely observe them.
This course is also designed to make teaching easier and more consistent. Instructors have access to:

At the end of the course, learners have the opportunity to validate their skills with the Tosa for Autodesk AutoCAD® certification.
The Isograd Learning Lab course for Autodesk AutoCAD® is 100% aligned with the Tosa certification exam’s five levels and four skill domains, and was designed after the exam blueprint.
The Isograd Learning Lab powers skill development through guided learning, while Tosa validates those skills with industry-recognized certification.
The activities in the Isograd Learning Lab are aligned with the types of tasks learners will encounter in the Tosa certification, ensuring a direct connection between what is practiced and what is assessed.
Accessible through a single platform and login, the learning and certification experience is streamlined and easy to navigate. This alignment helps learners build relevant, job-ready skills with confidence, knowing they are preparing for real evaluation scenarios. By the end of their learning journey, they not only gain hands-on experience but also earn a recognized credential that validates their proficiency and supports their professional development.
