AutoCAD and drafting courses in Seattle, Washington

43 CAD and drafting programs with costs, results and funding that can make them free

10 schools offer these drafting programs with classes in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area, and every one is approved for workforce funding. Each shows its price if you pay yourself and how past students did. One school runs 19 of these 43 programs, so the typical figures lean heavily on its prices and results.

Drafters use computer-aided design (CAD) software to turn the designs of engineers and architects into technical drawings. Most complete an associate degree in drafting at a community college or technical school, about two years full time, while some earn a certificate or diploma that usually takes less time; certification isn't required.1

In Seattle, 5 of the 43 programs take students without a high school diploma, 16 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 22 ask for earlier courses first.

By kind, the 43 programs here are SolidWorks, Revit and other CAD software course (27 programs), drafting and design certificate or diploma (7 programs), AutoCAD course (5 programs), drafting and design (associate degree, 3 programs), and 1 more of one other kind.

How to pay for CAD and drafting courses in Seattle

WIOA funding can pay for CAD and drafting courses in Seattle

Every program on this page is approved for it. Whether you qualify, how much your local area pays and how to apply are on our page Does WIOA pay for job training?

Financial aid and grants for CAD and drafting courses

Most students can get federal student aid for college, career school or trade school. A Federal Pell Grant, unlike a loan, usually doesn't have to be repaid. Ask the school whether its program qualifies.67

GI Bill for CAD and drafting courses

Veterans, service members and qualified dependents can use GI Bill benefits for non-college training programs.8

The program list does not show which programs accept these. Ask the school.

How CAD and drafting courses compare with the rest of skilled trades across Washington: Trade school programs in Washington

Where the Seattle drafting program numbers come from

Which Seattle drafting programs are on this list?

These are the drafting programs with classes in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area that are approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Online programs are left out here; they are on the Washington page. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what the area offers.

How the prices and results of Seattle drafting programs are measured

Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
