I have taken another course with Infinite Skills and I have to say I was disappointed in this course. As a beginner SketchUp user I found the instruction style, video content and general layout of the course to be difficult to follow and learn from. Questions in the comments were not answered, and most of the course involved downloading external extensions as opposed to working directly in the program.
