A PRACTICAL GUIDE

Using the CAD Technician assessment.

What does the full assessment tell you?

This template combines multiple-choice questions in AutoCAD, Spatial Reasoning, Error Checking, Diagrammatic Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning. It brings together evidence about technical reasoning, accuracy and practical judgement, giving you areas to explore when checking drawing dimensions against the design brief.

How can you use the results?

Review each result against your vacancy’s responsibilities. Use a short task based on checking drawing dimensions against the design brief to explore practical application. Ask them to explain drawing scale, verify dimensions and manage a requested revision.

Which results matter for your vacancy?

  • AutoCADExplore drawing structure, dimensions and how they would check a change against a brief.
  • Spatial ReasoningExplore how they interpret shapes, positions and orientation.
  • Error CheckingCheck matching identifiers, amounts and dates before records are shared.
  • Diagrammatic ReasoningUse a short Diagrammatic Reasoning work sample to explore how they apply diagram sequences and rules & transformations.
  • Numerical ReasoningAsk them to interpret a table, calculate a rate and explain what the figures imply.

BEFORE YOU START

Your questions, answered.

Can I tailor this assessment to my CAD Technician vacancy?

Yes. Start with AutoCAD, Spatial Reasoning, Error Checking, Diagrammatic Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning, then keep the tests that match your responsibilities. For example, use AutoCAD to explore drawing tools. You can add or remove tests before inviting candidates.

Does this assess practical CAD Technician work?

Candidates answer multiple-choice questions in AutoCAD, Spatial Reasoning, Error Checking, Diagrammatic Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning online. They do not complete your day-to-day work inside your own systems. Add a short work sample based on checking drawing dimensions against the design brief to explore application alongside the test results.

Why is AutoCAD included?

Checks practical AutoCAD knowledge for producing and reading technical drawings. Explore drawing structure, dimensions and how they would check a change against a brief. Review whether this area reflects the responsibilities of your vacancy before retaining it.

How long does this CAD Technician assessment take?

The recommended selection contains 5 tests and allows 50 minutes across its timed tests. Adding or removing tests, or adjusting time allowances, can change the total.

Will I see a separate result for each test?

Yes. Review AutoCAD, Spatial Reasoning, Error Checking, Diagrammatic Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning separately so a strength in one area does not hide a gap in another. Use the detail to focus interviews and relevant work samples. View the sample report.

Can I try this assessment with real candidates for free?
