    Looking for online Chief training.

    I am working with a student through a local career college who needs a lot of training in Chief Architect, a lot more than I can provide him with. The college is asking me to find an online training program for him that I can tutor him through. Here are some particulars about the student:

    He is a former builder who suffered a severe accident many years ago, and can no longer work his trade. He is seeking to get into the design side of the industry and the school is applying for funding on his behalf to make this possible. He is very knowlegable about residential and commercial construction, but his computer literacy is still in its early stages.

    In order to apply for funding, we need to find a training program that meets the following criteria:

    12 week course, minimum 2 sessions per week at 2 hours per session (including a 15 minute intermission) A 24 week course would be preferred, but may not be necessary.

    Sessions to be online instructional hours, and regular homework assignments are to be given. Periodic testing is also requested for the benifit of the student.

    The college would really like to offer the student a certification at the end, and the Chief User Certification Exam is the only certification I know of. So preparation for that would likely be the goal.

    I know of a few names on here that are in the business of training, and I do hope they respond, but I am putting this out there for anyone who feels that they can meet these requirements. You can reply here or email me at:

    If a picture is worth a thousand words, and a video is worth a thousand pictures, then uploading the chief file is worth a thousand videos.

    Thanks Lew. I am aware of that and we are looking into that option. I am wanting to present as many options as possible and see who else is offering services.

    Alan, he is looking for more in depth training with Chief Architect. I'm not sure why your question is relevant.
