Instructor’s Background:

Even with Nick Oliver’s professional background and experience in training a range of graphics and end-user project programs he found a common problem when trying to plan and create his own apartment designs.

Having worked with a range of professions including trades people, designers, architects, government department s and clients for his projects it became apparent there are a range of programs available to deliver an electronic solution but it is rarely easy to understand what can or can’t be achieved in the most efficient way.

This program is designed to solve this problem.

Nick’s qualifications include:

• Microsoft Certified Trainer
• Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist
• Adobe Product Teacher
• Certificate IV Workplace Training
