06 / QUESTIONS

Things people often ask.

What is 3ds Max and why learn it?+
3ds Max is Autodesk's comprehensive 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software. It's the industry standard across film, gaming, architectural visualization, and advertising — making it a high-leverage skill for creative careers.
What is AutoCAD and who should learn it?+
AutoCAD is the computer-aided design software used by architects, engineers, and designers to produce precise 2D and 3D drawings. Ideal for students and professionals in architecture, civil, mechanical engineering, or interior design.
What are the prerequisites?+
None strict. Basic computer literacy helps, but the course starts from foundational concepts. Beginners are welcome — introductory sessions ease you in.
How long does the program take?+
The complete Building Design program (AutoCAD + 3ds Max) runs 6 months. AutoCAD alone typically takes 1–3 months depending on intensity and schedule.
Is online learning available?+
Yes. Online options include video tutorials, live interactive sessions, assignments, and assessments — built for working professionals and remote learners.
What certifications will I receive?+
A Trinity Technologies course completion certificate, plus preparation for official Autodesk credentials — Autodesk Certified User (ACU) and Autodesk Certified Professional (ACP). The AutoCAD track is also Kerala PSC approved.
What's the difference between 2D and 3D AutoCAD?+
2D AutoCAD handles flat drawings — floor plans, layouts, technical diagrams. 3D AutoCAD lets you build three-dimensional models for detailed visualization, rendering, and simulation. The course covers both.
What batch timings are available?+
Morning, afternoon, and evening batches Monday through Saturday (7:00 AM – 8:00 PM). Choose what fits your schedule.
