Also, from my experience on the hiring side of CAD, I've found most "certified" drafters are dime-a-dozen and worth half that. You want to be more marketable? Learn a trade, so that you know what it is you are drafting. Like architecture? Spend a few years doing carpentry or masonry. Like mechanical? Spend a few years as an HVAC installer, sheetmetal worker, or plumber. Like electrical? Spend a few years doing electrical work. Often, you can do these jobs at the same time: small contractors love to have workers that can double up and document the work just built.<br><b>References : </b><br> In 10 years of CAD drafting, I’ve never been asked for a cert, nor have I even seen an advert asking for a cert.
