Mike was great. I couldn't have asked for a better Sketchup instructor. He was very patient with me and this class helped me immensely. I can't stress this enough. The course was so good. I loved it. The class was perfect. I'm so grateful. Everything was great. I was pleasantly surprised at the kitchen area for the students. Generously stocked with drinks and healthy food selections.

Michael was great, very attentive to questions and patient with beginners.

Michael was great! He was patient and really cared to make sure that each of us was getting the practice and hands on experience. He also was very helpful in sharing a few different ways of doing steps or things to allow you to decide for yourself what best fits your workflow. Also he was very open to help share tops and tricks and offer up cheat sheet locations and libraries to help expand our further practice. A wonderful class and intro to SketchUp. Impressive and thanks! Perfectly paced, well organized, in sequential order and understandable. We moved right along. Nicely illustrated and helpful.
The class setup was great!
by Natasia M
Michael was very helpful throughout the whole class. He went at a pace that was perfect for my learning needs and he always answered my questions
by Angela L
Michael was great. Very easy to understand and made sure everyone understood the exercises and gave additional time to us if needed. Was also very open to our questions. The materials and exercises were great for getting to know the tools and functions of the program.
by Gorette M
The intermediate sketchup class really guided me in the right direction. Michael was extremely helpful and clear.
by Jes P
Michael was a great instructor. He knew the material well and made it easy to understand. If there was a question, he was able to break the process down further and ensure the question was addressed and answered properly. Michael made Sketch-up easy to learn and taught in a way that built on the basics.

We had a private Sketchup workshop for our team and itwas fantastic! Michael worked very hard to fit in all of our questions and topics that we wanted to learn into the time frame given and was able to connect what we needed to learn back to the basics and into the flow of his lesson plan. I wish we could have had more time to keep going forward with the program into even more advanced training. We were fortunate to have a private class which enabled us to be more specific in our training and gear the class towards our particular field of work. Michael made it easy for us to understand and grasp the material as well as teaching us all of the fundamentals of the program. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and was excited to put his teachings into reality at my job. I would definitely recommend AGI to anyone trying to learn this program and I am interested in taking more classes. All of the exercises and training created a flow of work that built off of the fundamentals Michael taught us and that made things easy to move forward into more complicated exercises. The facilities were great and easy to get to. Computers functioned well with no issues. We had our own space which made learning easier. It was nice to have access to the kitchen the next room over for tea, coffee and water.

I had a great private sketc-up class. Michael listened to my professional needs and patiently taught me better ways to accomplish them.
by Jackiee C
Michael is a very patient teacher; from what I could tell the class had a wide spectrum of experience with design/graphic software from almost beginner to fairly proficient. My experience somewhere in the middle
by Gloria B
I found that sometimes other people were slowing the class down due to their lack of technology knowledge but I understand it is not your fault.
by elise b
My Sketchup teacher had a great knowledge of the program and was effective at communicating how to best use and approach each phase of the process. When there were questions he was able to clearly explain and clarify.
by Shane H
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The one on one instruction was quite valuable and Michael was extremely knowledgeable. I appreciated how adaptive he was to questions I had and how to implement the tools. I feel much more confident in my abilities after having taken the course and would recommend this class to anyone looking to learn from beginning to advanced.
by melissa e
Instructor is extremely knowledgeable and good at breaking down the complexities of the program for learning. The sketchup class thoroughly met my objectives.
by Louise F
I really liked Michael as our SketchUp instructor. He has great energy, enthusiasm and knowledge.
by Alison K
This sketchup workshop exceeded my expectations. I feel confident in going back to work and executing some of the simpler projects.
by Yuliya B
I learned so much from this class. I think the teacherwent at an excellent pace.
by Sarah H
The instructor was clearly knowledgeable of the subject matter. I had to use the Web based program, because there was a technical issue with the mouse not properly working. There was a lag time for the left and right click commands. And the system was not operating effectively. Sketch-Up should correct this technical issue. It was reported over a year ago according to Google searches conducted therefore it is a well known issue that should be re-solved. NA.
by Timothy M
Michael did a great job of presenting the material and taking into consideration the varied knowledge sets of the participants. As this was my first online training sessions I was a little leery of the online process as I had not taken a remote class previouly and it all worked seamlessly.
by David M
Should include better book,dvd and resources. AGI needs to get better at making sure each student has the correct SketchUp or can install SketchUp on the computer so they can draw and learn and at the same time. Needs to be more organized and before we start needs to have a better starting plan to make sure everybody has SketchUp installed and everybody can work as they learn
by Kurt S
Extremely patient and easy to understand. We got stuck on a few topics for a half hr or more to help a student catch-up that was either having difficulty with their program, computer, or came in late. Maybe a thought to have places people can start from to catch up more quickly instead of reviewing the entire process over again for an extended period of time, while the other students wait for that one person. Hard to say when we're online I know, and everyone learns differently. Michael was always willing to listen, share screens, and review topics. I don't think anyone in our class felt as though they couldn't ask a questions at any time. We didn't really use the training materials, as it was all hands on. The materials really seem like something to use later on if needed. It was nice to be able to see what the class would be going over before the class started. We went to 50 minutes one day where we could not get ahold of Michael. The class could hear each other but he could not hear us. We had to review everything from the beginning because we couldn't keep up from the start. It would've been nice to have Michaels contact info, or a method to contact him other than the GOTOMeeting chat. We ended up getting ahold of him through other contacts.

Thank you so much for the Sketchup training. It helped me to understand the prorgram which I use for civil engineering at my school.
by Baraa A
Michael was an excellent SketchUp instructor. He was able to clearly articulate the processes of SketchUp and the best work flows.
by Jacob R
I took the Sketchup class because I attended a college majoring in interior design. The students all use Sketchup, but we have to teach ourselves since there is no class offered. I bet a ton of students would be interested in taking this online class at the beginning of the semester so learning the program themselves isnt so challenging, and so their projects could look better sooner using the skills they learned.
by Hannah A
The Sketchup class was fantastic and Michael was awesome! I will def request him for the next set of classes. We covered a lot of material. I will need some time to practice what we learned.
by Jennifer V
The SketchUp training was great! Really enjoyed the class and plan to take the advanced training once I have some more experience under my belt. Michael is a fantastic teacher.

I very much enjoyed the Sketchup class, and got a lot of useful info and techniques from Michael. He did a great job facilitating the class. We covered best practices information and useful labs while answering all of my individual, specific questions that relate to my job. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael and AGI to other Sketchup users working at any level. Thank you so much for the thorough, enjoyable training session! It was also useful that AGI sent me the actual class files to help me remember all that I learned. I am pretty low tech, so I could have used a bit more specific instruction on how to set up my on-line class session. Overall I liked the class so much that I've shared the class info with my boss.
by Byron R
Micheal was terrific! There was only two of us in the Sketch up class, so we zipped right along and had some terrific discussions. Micheal was always ready to address any of our questions, even those that sometimes took us off topic a bit. I enjoyed the discussions about the use of Sketch-up in industry. It was nice to hear that Sketch up is a program used widely by professional who you would think would prefer using Revit. It was validating that by taking this training, I am on the right track. I really enjoyed the class and can't wait to get started using the skills. I plan to be back for the advanced Sketch up class once I get the hang of the basics.
by Rebecca S
The online Sketchup training was very convenient and it was a small class with only two of us. The teacher was very helpful. We did some exercises but I would have liked even more time to practice.
by Aisha I
Thank you Michael, for the great Sketch Up class!
by Angela F
I enjoyed the Sketchup course and the teacher was knowledgeable.
by Darshana U
Michael was unbelievably knowledgeable about Sketchup and helpful throughout the entire course. He was patient with us and showed us multiple ways of approaching things. I'm definitely looking forward to working with him again!
by C J
Micheal was an outstanding teacher for SketchUp. He was very aware of his student learning styles and provided excellent real-life examples. He was clear in his direction and instruction. I also appreciated his sharing his personal component library with us which is above and beyond. I highly recommend Micheal to anyone else.
by Rachel S
I thoroughly enjoyed the SketchUp training that Michael presented. This was only my 3rd time using SketchUp. I feel a lot more comfortable with it and understand it better than I did before. I appreciated the shortcuts and helpful hints he gave us for using SketchUp. It was great to get to practice the tools as he explained them to us and to get to try to create a model with Michael helping us when needed. He was very helpful in making sure we could apply it to what our company does and how we use SketchUp on a daily basis.
by Traci M
Michael was a great teacher for Sketchup, and I definitely learned a lot from this class. He was well prepared and able to clearly understand what we wanted to do and explain it efficiently. I would definitely recommend this class to others who were interested in learnign Sketchup.

Michael is the best Sketch Up instructor ever! I learned so much during this course that now I can take care of my work. I like that this class teaches based on your needs and the teacher ensures you know more than enough. As a teacher, Michael is knowledgeable, caring, and in one word, AMAZING! This was a GREAT experience learning Sketch Up.
by Azadeh S
The Sketch-up class was great. Michael was supurb with instruction, from basics to a real life sample I requested with modeling. He helped lead with functions and samples with good pace. Answered all questions and appropriate tailoring to my specific needs.

I had Michael as my instructor for the introduction to Sketchup class and he was great! Super helpful!
by Paula V.
As I was the only student, Michael specifically tailored the class to me, which was exactly what I needed. It was great.
by Candace C
I had a bunch of questions comining into this class and they were all answered.
by Kristy G
Small class size was nice. I feel I can now use sketchup without hunting around the app.

Was very easy to understand the instructor. One of our team members wears a hearing aid and she also committed on how clear and easily understood he was.
