It depends on what you did before you retired, but generally no, if you have basic experience with using a computer you will probably enjoy a CAD class. While not necessary, it might be helpful if you also had basic knowledge of mechanical drawing and material representation and reading blueprints for example, but I would think you could learn this as you go. I teach part time as an assistant professor at my local community college, and I have had retirees in my classes (computer science and networking) who were also taking it for their own interest and did very well. So if it's an introductory or fundamentals level course and something you're interested in I'd say go for it and don't sweat any of the (possibly unrelated) prerequisites, such as a math course... Good luck and enjoy!

it would be helpful if you had exposure to computers and the windows environment, which you obviously do.
you should check with the school/instructor and find out if there is anything specific.
prereqs are usually listed in the course catalogue.
