The full SketchUp for Garden Design training programme consists of our three core training courses: Foundation, and
Intermediate, where you'll be working in SketchUp, and our Layout for SketchUp Pro course; used to create physical presentation documents.
All of our courses have been designed specifically with Garden Designers and Landscape Contractors in mind meaning that students don't
Students enjoying their SketchUp for Garden Design group training session at London Stone, Farnham
spend time learning elements of SketchUp that aren't relevant to them and are able to concentrate on developing the practices and processes that they'll actually be using in their day to day work.Students who complete the full programme start as complete beginners, and develop through to a place where they're able to use Sketchup with confidence, making it a key component of their garden design process.
STUDY ONE TO ONE IN PERSON OR LIVE ONLINE VIA ZOOM
For a SketchUp training session tailored to you and your own learning needs, a one to one session with our experienced tutors will have you up and running and feeling confident about working in SketchUp in just a few hours. We're happy to visit you in your home or place of work, (prices are dependent on your location), or you can take advantage of our ever popular distance learning option which utilises screen sharing technology and allows your tutor to expertly guide you through your course. These sessions are 'live' sessions and are true one to ones that will provide you with the same personalised learning experience as that which you'd receive if your tutor was physically sitting next to you. Alternatively, join us for one of our Foundation course group sessions held around the UK where you'll meet other garden designers and landscape professionals and be introduced to Sketchup in a relaxed and friendly environment.
NOT BASED IN THE U.K? NOT A PROBLEM
Thanks to the power of screen sharing, we teach students from all around the world. Those who have chosen to study with us include students from Australia, the US, mainland Europe and Asia and so while a little flexibility may be required in terms of scheduling, you don't need to be based in the UK to enjoy learning to use SketchUp with us.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY.....
I’m so happy I took this course. It’s given me the skills and confidence to be able to use Sketch Up as part of my design process. John is a very patient teacher who is more than happy to answer any questions you have. Everything John teaches is explained in a clear way, with back up resources for you to keep on hand in the future. Would definitely recommend!

Dealing with garden designs and planting plans on small and large scale, it is really important that we are able to offer our customers a professional design, which matches up with our own high standards. We contacted John and talked through our requirements, and he was able to facilitate training to get us creating professional planting plans very quickly and with no prior knowledge. Using SketchUp through John’s bespoke method has allowed us to go from the basics of the software to creating plans and formatting them in layout in a clear, concise, and accurate way. We are really pleased with the results and would highly recommend SU4GD for anybody who is wanting to add a professional edge to their planting plans.

Really happy with the course content and its delivery. Gives you everything you need in a short space of time without cutting corners. I can't recommend John highly enough as a trainer. He creates an excellent learning environment and is highly skilled at helping learners to quickly understand and become familiar with key SketchUp concepts.
