Architectural Design
Turn your vision into reality with MVCTC’s Architectural Design program, where you’ll build a strong foundation in drafting, computer-aided design (CAD), and 3D modeling. Learn to prepare detailed drawings and plans for buildings and structures—because without a plan, nothing can be built, manufactured, or sold. Gain hands-on experience creating architectural blueprints and technical drawings that meet industry specifications. Earn industry-recognized certifications such as the Ohio State Apprenticeship Council Pre-Apprenticeship Certificate and the NCCER Core Curriculum certification. With work-based learning opportunities, pre-apprenticeships, and college credit connections through Sinclair College, this program sets you on the path to a career in architecture, construction management, or civil engineering.
