Make your design easier to understand
Give your ideas
room to grow.
This SketchUp Pro course in Sharjah helps designers, architects, students and creative learners develop a practical workflow for modelling spaces and presenting design ideas.
Build useful geometry, organise components and communicate the design through materials, scenes and LayOut sheets. Explore AI tools with the judgement to review their output against your own model and project brief.
Develop the design direction
Compare finishes, camera views and concept imagery. Review proportions, material choices and how the visual explains your idea.
Connect views with drawing sheets
Use model scenes and LayOut to prepare plans, elevations, sections and a coherent presentation package.
What is SketchUp Pro? SketchUp is Trimble's 3D modelling software for developing and communicating design ideas. The Pro learning pathway combines modelling with LayOut documentation. In this course, apply it to interiors, architectural concepts, joinery, furniture and fit-out presentations.

Before you begin
SketchUp training
questions, answered.
Can I join without 3D modelling experience?
Yes. The learning path starts with navigation, units, drawing tools and model organisation before progressing to interiors, materials and presentation. Beginners, fresh graduates and homemakers can enquire. School students should ask about age suitability and preparation.
What will I learn in the SketchUp Pro course in Sharjah?
The curriculum covers accurate 3D modelling, reference drawings, groups and components, interior detailing, materials, scenes and LayOut documentation. It also includes discussion of supported SketchUp AI workflows and a guided portfolio project. Request the detailed syllabus for your chosen programme.
Do I need AutoCAD before learning SketchUp?
AutoCAD experience can help when using architectural drawings, but the best starting point depends on your current skills. Suitable DWG references are part of the learning path. Tell the team about your experience so they can advise on preparation or a related drafting course.
Is this course suitable for interiors, architecture and fit-out work?
Yes. The project pathway is relevant to interior layouts, architectural concepts, joinery, kitchens, furniture, exhibitions and fit-out presentations. If you have a specialist project, share the brief so the team can confirm a suitable scope.
Will I learn LayOut as well as SketchUp?
The course outline includes linking model scenes to LayOut viewports, reviewing scale, adding dimensions and annotations, and preparing drawing sheets. Confirm the training depth and project deliverables in your selected programme.
Which SketchUp AI tools are covered?
The page outlines AI Render, Generate Object, AI Help and 3D Warehouse Image Search. Scan-to-Design and AutoShape are optional iPad workflows. Confirm the practical modules, software version, supported platform and access requirements for your batch.
Are software subscriptions and AI credits included in the course fee?
Ask for a quotation that identifies the software, subscriptions and credits included in your programme. AI Help does not consume AI credits; AI Render and Generate Object use credits. Review your available balance and the current access terms before planning hands-on AI exercises.
Do I need an iPad or a particular computer?
The desktop SketchUp and LayOut learning path does not require an iPad. Use a supported Windows or macOS computer suitable for your version and project size. Optional iPad workflows require compatible devices. Ask the team to review your setup before enrolment.
What are the course fees, duration and batch timings?
Request current fees, total training hours, class frequency and upcoming start dates. Share your preference for weekday, evening or weekend sessions so admissions can advise on available batches and payment options, including applicable Tabby or Tamara arrangements.
Can I study online from Dubai, Ajman or elsewhere in the GCC?
Enquire about online live training from the UAE and GCC, or classroom options in Sharjah and other CADD locations. Tell us your city, time zone, preferred schedule and training language so the team can recommend available arrangements.
What certificate and portfolio will I receive?
The listed credential is a CADD International course completion certificate, subject to applicable completion requirements. Your project portfolio combines modelling and presentation work with LayOut sheets. Ask about any separate assessment or available attestation requirements and charges.
Will I get support after the course?
Ask about refresher classes, portfolio clinic support, lesson recordings and their access terms for your selected programme. Keep your organised project files and practise applying the workflow to new design briefs.
How do I enrol or arrange corporate training?
