Our approach to live online SketchUp training
We do everything possible to make your experience as close as possible to actually being in the classroom…
- You can see and hear our trainer and the other delegates.
- Our trainer and the other delegates can see you (via your webcam) and hear you.
- We’ll provide your training guide, and make the course files and resources available for you to download.
- Your training is hands-on: you’ll practice and carry out exercises throughout.
- If you're learning to use an application and don’t have access to the software, we’ll send you a link to fully-functional trial software that you can download and install.
- If you need assistance, you can share your screen with our trainer, and pass control to them.
- You’ll receive an e-certificate confirming successful course completion.
- You’re entitled to 30 days’ email support from your trainer.
