Professional CAD Training Path
A structured, mission-based path for individuals who want to learn CAD step by step, complete real projects, and build a portfolio using the full CAD Missions syllabus.
Follows the complete 9-level CAD Missions curriculum (90 missions + recap projects), delivered as a guided progression for independent learners.
Start the Professional TrackWhat the Professional Track Is
The Professional Track is the individual learning path built on top of the CAD Missions curriculum.
Instead of browsing missions freely, learners in the Professional Track follow a clear sequence of levels, complete mandatory recap projects, and finish with portfolio-ready work that demonstrates real CAD skills.
This path is designed for:
- students preparing for engineering, design, or manufacturing programs,
- teens and adults building job-ready CAD fundamentals,
- motivated learners who want structure instead of random tutorials.
How CAD Missions Works in Practice
CAD Missions provides the instructional structure.
Onshape provides the design environment.
Step 1: Work through missions
Each level includes short CAD missions (10–20 minutes) that teach one skill at a time in Onshape.
Step 2: Complete the recap project
Each level ends with a recap project that combines multiple skills into a single, finished design.
In the Professional Track, recap projects are required to advance.
Step 3: Build a portfolio
Projects are designed to be saved, documented, and reused as portfolio pieces that show progression from beginner to advanced CAD work.

Is This the Right Path for You?
This is a good fit if you:
- want structure instead of self-directed wandering,
- learn best by doing, not watching,
- want tangible proof of skill (projects, files, models),
- plan to continue into engineering, design, or manufacturing.
This is NOT a good fit if you:
- only want short software tips with no progression,
- don’t plan to complete projects,
- are looking for a classroom-managed experience (see Educator License instead).
