About James
With over 20 years of experience as a SketchUp Authorised Trainer, I’ve had the unique privilege of learning directly from the creators of SketchUp. This invaluable knowledge has been passed down through me, ensuring that every student I train is receiving the original, authentic SketchUp education—a distinction that no other route can offer. Understanding these origins is crucial, as it provides the foundation for mastering the software in the most effective and meaningful way.
My ultimate goal is to pass on this exceptional knowledge and dedication to every student. I leave no stone unturned in my teaching approach, ensuring that each lesson is not only thorough but also practical, relevant, and immediately applicable. From beginners to advanced users, I commit to over-delivering, helping students fully understand and confidently use SketchUp for their design needs.
This is what I live for: helping students grow, succeed, and become confident SketchUp users. By learning from me, you're not just getting trained—you’re receiving the original SketchUp knowledge that has been handed down from its creators, crystallized through my own extensive teaching experience. You can trust that your learning journey will be backed by this heritage, combined with my professionalism, passion, and dedication to your success.

James Ogston’s Approach to SketchUp Tutoring
With over 20 years of experience as an accredited SketchUp Trainer, my teaching approach is centered around delivering personalized, hands-on training that ensures every student not only understands the software but masters it with confidence.
Techniques and Methodology:
I believe in a structured, practical approach to teaching. My lessons are fully interactive and focus on real-world applications of SketchUp, ensuring that every concept is immediately put into practice. I guide students through the software step-by-step, offering live demonstrations and encouraging questions to ensure complete comprehension. My lessons are also recorded, so students can revisit the content anytime, reinforcing their learning.
Typical Lesson Length:
I offer flexible lesson durations to accommodate different learning needs. You can choose between focused 4.5-hour sessions or more intensive 8-hour sessions, depending on your schedule, goals ans passion and desire to learn from the very best! I'm here for you.
Qualifications and Experience:
As an Official SketchUp Authorised Trainer (ATC) and UK Official SketchUp Partner, I’ve trained thousands of individuals since 2004. My experience spans working with @Last Software (the original SketchUp creators) and being Google’s first authorized training center for the UK and Europe and now with Trimble.
Who the Lessons Are For:
My lessons are designed for all levels, from beginners looking to build a foundation in 3D design, to professionals seeking advanced training in SketchUp, LayOut, and essential extensions. I teach students of all ages, including designers, architects, interior designers, and hobbyists.
