CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“ The training methods were clear and understood by all who attended the courses. Several users have since produced some impressive design and 3D architectural images.”
Mark Jones - Resources Manager, Monmouthshire County Council, Wales

" I had 1.5 days of ‘one to one’ Vectorworks training at The Fernery, Devon in Ilfracombe. The location was fantastic because you can combine the intensity of the training times with some relaxation by exploring the beautiful North Devon coastline.

I found Jonathan’s training style and method very, user friendly and attitude towards continued professional and personal development very positive and infectious I have been introduced to many  new and more efficient ways of working which are often so difficult to find out from a manual or  help file.

The training was well focused on my individual needs but he was also able to identify and improve  where there were general weaknesses in my Vectorworks working methods.  I definitely propose to do more training with Jonathan and would recommend anyone to do the  same."
