SketchUp for Designers
Starts 30 August
(Accredited)
Looking to extend your presentation skills? Create detailed 3D models of your interior designs using this intuitive and easy-to-learn program. Our SketchUp for Designers course will take you step by step through a real two storey residential project. You’ll use the 3D Warehouse, the world’s largest online library, to easily import furniture and lighting to your model. To give your interior a stunning photo-realistic feel, we’ll introduce you to a rendering tool that adds surfaces, finishes and light.
Whilst this comprehensive course has been created for those working in the design or construction industry you’ll need little or no experience in this software, only enthusiasm. This course is delivered on campus during the day or evening with the support of our passionate Educators.
