What past students are saying
Real feedback from designers, architects, and creatives who have taken SketchUp Trainer classes.
★★★★★
"I Previously Had Basic SketchUp Experience."
I took sessions to enhance my SketchUp capabilities. I learned more tricks and tools—and better ways to build my interior projects. The plugins and render tools were extremely helpful, as were the tips Dan gave on how to build more efficiently. Dan is a great teacher and very patient. He never moves on until everyone is caught up, and he’s always available for questions. Overall, I really enjoyed my training and would recommend SketchUp Trainer to my fellow architects!
