FAQ’s
What is a draughtsman?
- A draughtsman is responsible for transforming ideas into specific drawings used to guild the physical construction and fabrication of entities such as buildings, machines and roads etc. This can be done freehand, although it is now common to use computer-aided design (CAD) software
- A draftsman is proficient in all aspects of technical and material designs, dimensions, and procedures.
How do I become a draughtsman?
- One would think a draughting diploma or certificate would be a good start, but in the real world it boils down to experience. In our personal view, one years’ experience in a specific field using a specific drawing program goes a lot further than a draughting qualification.
- To become a draughtsman, you are required to have excellent mathematical and analytical skills, superior drawing abilities and great hand-eye coordination. You also need to be computer literate since most of your work will be done on a computer.
- We at Miner Construction recommend our three 4-month courses to kick start your career by gaining experience from the best to become the best.

How can I find a job as a Draughtsman?
- Simply put, by gaining experience. It is a bit of a catch 22, how do you gain experience without having experience.
- At Miner Construction we simulate an office environment with a hands-on approach on current project specific deliverables which gives our students work experience rather than just a qualification.
- After completion of our courses:
- we strive to ensure that our students are introduced into the workplace directly to some of the local project houses;
