What our students say about this Vectorworks course:

Louis - I took the 3-day Vectorworks course online and it's been such a great experience, even though I was worried because I thought that maybe I wouldn't be able to understand everything. Instead, Sami is extremely knowledgeable and patient, explaining step by step and answering all our questions kindly, and showing great experience in his field.

Jennifer - Excellent training! First time learning Vectorworks.

Andrea - I was a complete novice and, let's say, over a certain age, I feel it hurt my brain this much it must have been good. After only three days I feel I am well on my way to understanding Vectorworks.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
