ENTHUSIASTIC REVIEWS BY BEST PRACTICES COURSE MEMBERS
Reviews by members have been exceptionally positive. Paul Fewell (Hemet CA) posted the following comment in the course member area: "I have been blown away by The Best Practices Course... The course is extremely organized and your teaching method and style allows for individual growth at their own pace. I have been amazed over and over again as this course has progressed."
He continued: "You have explained in great detail the 'How To's' and have left nothing to chance. You are an excellent teacher. There is nothing like this course out there and WHAT A VALUE! You have provided more than anyone would ever expect."
Course member Bob George (San Bruno CA) posted: "Eric, count me among the ArchiCAD users who have been so satisfied with both your QuickStart and Best Practices courses. I am concluding my 46th year in practice, the last 12 of which I have been an ArchiCAD user. Over the past 4 months, I feel as though I have made a greater leap in confidence and capability with this software than in any one of the previous years I have been using it."
UNIQUE ARCHICAD COACHING PROGRAM INCLUDED WITH THE COURSE
A unique feature of the Best Practices Course is the ArchiCAD Coaching Program, a series of live interactive webinars offered three times each month. Members may submit questions ahead of time or during the call, and watch Eric Bobrow demonstrate the best ways to approach each design challenge or technical question. Each session is recorded and available for viewing in the member area on demand.
Eric Bobrow commented "I started the ArchiCAD Coaching Program to help users apply these Best Practices principles in practice. It's been exciting to have callers logging in from all over the world, including North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia, as we go over questions submitted by course members during these live webinar sessions."
Course member Tom Downer (Cambridge MA) emailed: "As a member of your ArchiCAD Best Practices course for a year now, I wanted to let you know how beneficial your course, including the Quick Start program, has been... I discovered your online course a year ago and it has been exactly what I needed... The decision to sign up for your Coaching Program was a no-brainer. The opportunity to have a personal ArchiCAD coach almost every week makes your program a high-return investment. I look forward to increasing my ArchiCAD proficiency with continuing help and great resources. Thanks."
Course member John Cassel (Haiku HI) wrote: "Great coaching session today. The part where you clearly explained and showed how to model walls and floors so the cut sections and elevations render properly was fantastic. This solves a lot of my problems and questions. This will help me to use ArchiCAD the way it is supposed to be used."
EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS - PRODUCTIVITY & QUALITY
The overall course is a comprehensive training resource focused on optimizing the design workflow and speeding production while improving the quality of output. Members have reported gains in productivity of 25% to 50% or more after going through the Best Practices Course.
Antonio Tort (Lugo Spain) commented: "I can deliver the Project documents in more or less half the time I used to need."
Stephen Gerard Kelly (Benalla Australia) writes: "The Best Practices Course is constantly answering questions and providing insight which increases my efficiency... I can now remodel designs in half the time of the past. Well, maybe not half the time - a 5 day job, say a new simple dwelling, now takes about three and a half days."
