"Congrats Francois on the ArchiCAD online tutorials which are proving to be the best online tutorials we have had the pleasure of having access to, and looking forward to the upcoming new ones!
Kind regards" - Greg |
"What you two are doing here has been needed for a long time. Though well-meaning and earnest, other tutorial online options have lacked the courage to just tackle the complexity and power of Archicad like this: item by item. Though AC markets its ease of use, you recognize that the many settings and options create a complex web of tools and commands that must be understood in order to take advantage of this ease of use. This course is filling in a lot of blank spaces in my understanding of AC. Congratulations on this milestone achievement. - David

"Thank you sincerely for your inspiring, patient, flexible and supportive approach to training me from scratch to become a keen ArchiCad user. Although I still have some way to go I am thoroughly "hooked" and excited to hone my skills further with your support." - Marvin

"Francois is a highly capable professional with great expertise and knowledge in BIM. His work is of the highest quality and his teachings and education skills has greatly molded me into a fine Young Professional" - Ivan

"My son had completed his BArch degree at UCT and wanted to improve his portfolio to apply for continuing with his Honours and Masters studies. Francois offered a course in training my son in Archicad which enabled him to finish his portfolio's last project.
He was also available afterwards in helping my son with the finer applications in Archicad as well as the rendering of the last project and subsequently Hanno was accepted to continue his studies at UCT." - Marius |
"I met Francois where I attended an Archicad training event that he presented. Even from the get-go I experienced his passion for educating people by empowering them with knowledge and understanding. I am continuously amazed at his technical skill-set regarding the software used in the industry, especially Archicad. I believe there to be only a handful of people in our country to match his expertise." - Werner
