FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- How will I know if the videos work on my computer?
- Watch the free videos in each course to see how they look on your computer or mobile device. You'll need a solid Internet connection and a modern internet browser (we recommend Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox).
- Can I watch the courses on my iPhone or iPad? What about Android?
- Yup! As long as you have a wireless signal or Internet access, you can log in from any smartphone or tablet to watch the videos. We’ve tested the courses on iPhones and iPads, as well as a variety of Android devices. The courses look great on all devices, if we do say so ourselves.
- Can I download the videos?
- Sorry, downloading the video courses is not an option. But isn’t it great that you can stream them virtually anywhere?
- Where can I download free software to use while I'm learning?
- There are free trial versions available for all our software courses. Check out this comprehensive list of links to download trial versions of Sketchup, Autodesk software, Adobe software, Rhino 5 and Grasshopper.
- Do you have any sort of guarantee policy?
- Heck yes! Our guarantee is included with our Expert membership. Read more about how we’re putting our money where our mouth is.
