Hybrid Training
Our Hybrid Training Solution is ideal for the slower learners and for those who do not always have the time to dedicate to our full time Online Training solution. The Hybrid Training Solution allows the trainees to advance at their own pace, taking breaks from training and coming back when they think they are prepared for the next step. This training solution is combined with our Premium Membership Program where members have a "private consulting room" (a restricted subforum exclusively for the trainer and trainee) on our forums where they can ask our team any questions or share any confidential material (e.g. clients' projects) under our privacy policy.
Intensive Online Training
Our Online Training Solution is ideal for fast learners and for those who have already tested the waters with SketchUp (or some other 3D application) and in certain areas, only need to methodize their knowledge and/or to clarify some grey areas. This solution does not mean that we abandon the trainee after the successful completion of the courses since if combined with our Premium Membership Program, it will allow trainer and trainee to keep in touch in the "private consulting room" if certain areas remained grey.
Corporate Training
Our Corporate, Group training can be arranged both online and on-site. If you are a company or any organization and would like to train your employees so that they can not only use SketchUp but exploit all possible collaboration tools with the software, we can train them. Sliding prices can apply for the total amount of training hours regardless of how many trainess there are. In case of training groups, further discounts may also apply. As we cannot prepare for all possible scenarios, please, study our prices on our other pages and ask for a quote when you already know how many employees and which courses you would like to sign up for. Naturally, combined with our Premium Membership Program, we can also set up a "private consulting room" for a whole group of trainees even to follow a particular team project. All privacy policy and confidentiality certainly applies.
