Online, affordable, and self-paced courses that teach you everything you need to land a job in one of the most in-demand roles in structural design.
Truss Designers are in high demand and for good reason. They help shape everything from residential homes to massive commercial buildings. With starting salaries averaging $60K+ and strong growth in the construction and design industries, this career offers a stable, lucrative path without the cost or time of college or trade school. If you’re detail-oriented, tech-savvy, and ready to make an impact, truss design might be the perfect fit.
Right now, most truss designers are hired straight from truss plants and tossed into complex software with no real instruction. There’s no standardized training, no foundation in blueprint reading, and no guidance on industry best practices. That’s where Structural Component Academy comes in. We’re filling the gap and training the next generation of confident, capable designers.
Our mission is to transform complexity into simplicity in the world of component design, giving you the tools and confidence to succeed. This isn’t just a course-it’s your launchpad into an in-demand, fulfilling career.
Truss Industry Fundamentals — 16 modules, 90 days. Our fully online, self-paced program is built to teach you everything you need, from the ground up. Every module builds on the one before, moving from simple gables to complex hips and specialty roofs, with an 18-question quiz after each one.
