The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) CADD Office provides training for Computer Aided Drafting & Design (CADD) Software to assist the CADD users in the design process of FDOT projects.

The following is a list of FDOT CADD Training Courses provided to assist all CADD Users working on FDOT Projects, including Course Guides, Datasets and Videos.  These are intended for use in the FDOT CADD Regional (Instructor-Led) Training, FDOT’s Learning Curve CADD Certification Program (On-Line Training), FDOT’s Project-Based Training or to download for Self-Help by CADD Users.

We also provide specialized training through the The American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Florida to FDOTConnect Training Lab sessions.

Feel free to send any comments, suggestions, and questions to the CADD Office: CADD Support.

As course guides are being updated for the newest software releases, previous training course guides, datasets and videos remain available on the Archive page linked below. Though Archived training was developed on platforms that are no longer actively supported, the content may still be referenced while newer materials are in development.

For legacy Training Guides, see the FDOT Training Guide archive page.
