Key details

Civil 3D training teaching how to use the application’s manual and automatic tools for road design.

This course is aimed at Highway Engineer wishing to expand on the basic training and undertake some more advanced road and alignment design. Sessions include:

• Junction design: learn to use the manual and automatic tools for designing junctions.
• Roundabout design: learn the principles of roundabout design, and techniques for creating the tilted plane, and channel alignments and profiles.
• Sub-Assembly Composer: learn to create simple and more complex sub-assemblies, and import PKT files into Civil 3D.

Civil 3D advanced road design training is arranged on-request, i.e. one-to-one training or a ‘closed course’ for your group. Your training can be tailored to take into account any existing knowledge you have, and the work you’re going to be doing.

In-class or online

This course is available in-class at eight centres or live online.

Accredited Civil 3D advanced road design training

Armada is an Autodesk Authorised Training Centre (ATC), and our Civil 3D advanced road design courses are accredited by Autodesk.

Civil 3D advanced road design courses are hosted by Autodesk Certified Instructors from a Civil Engineering background. See Expert trainers. .

How will I learn?

Civil 3D advanced road design training is hands-on and practical.

Our trainers teach the necessary theory then demonstrate techniques step-by-step. You then practice the techniques taught on a computer running Civil 3D.

There is plenty of time to ask questions, and you can take away all the files you create.

Training guide and certificate

Course delegates receive:

• Comprehensive training notes, to refer to throughout the course and use as a refresher after.
• An e-certificate confirming successful completion of an accredited Civil 3D training course.

After course support

Following Civil 3D advanced road design training, delegates are entitled to 30 days’ email support from their Civil 3D trainer to help with any post-course issues. For further details, see Support.

Prerequisites

Delegates should have a working knowledge of Civil 3D, and alignment design. If you don’t have this knowledge, we recommend you attending Civil 3D Essentials and Civil 3D alignment design training first.

Civil 3D version

Training can be based on any recent version of Civil 3D to suit you.

Live online training

Online training lets you participate in a live Civil 3D course from your place of work or home.

We do everything possible to make your online training experience as close as possible to actually being in the classroom. You can:

• See and hear our trainer, and the other delegates participating in the course…
  
• Watch our trainer demonstrate techniques in Civil 3D.
• Interact by speaking, or using chat.
• Share your screen with our trainer, and allow them to take control to explain something.

Like our in-class courses, online Civil 3D advanced road design courses…

• Are presented by Autodesk Certified Instructors.
• Give you plenty of opportunity to carry out assisted, practical exercises using Civil 3D.
• Offer 30 days’ email support from your trainer.

All you need is an Internet-connected computer with…

• Civil 3D installed. If you don’t have a current subscription to Civil 3D, you’re entitled to a 30-day trial that’s ideal for participating in training. We’ll send you a link to this. If you’ve already used your trial, we can lend you a license for the duration of your course.
• A webcam and audio capability. If your computer running Civil 3D doesn’t have these, you can use a second device, such as another computer or tablet. See Hardware recommendations for live online training for further details.

If there’s anything you’re not sure about we’ll do our best to help you. We won’t be able to assist with your Civil 3D installation, but we can provide details for Autodesk support who’ll be able to help you with this.

We provide everything else…

• Links to download the files, resources, etc. you’ll use in your course.
• A training guide. For most courses, you can choose from a printed copy that we post to you, or a PDF.

In the week before your course, we’ll send you an email containing everything you need to prepare for and participate in the training. Then, a couple of days before your course, we’ll give you a courtesy call to make sure you have everything in place and answer any questions you may have.

Please note that we are not able to record scheduled online courses for privacy reasons.

When you attend live online training, you’re participating in a real course, hosted by a real trainer, in real time
