Rhino 3D Introduction to Intermediate

Ready to achieve your creative and career goals? Unlock your full potential and increase your employability by upskilling with London Software Training.

Rhinoceros 3D, also abbreviated as Rhino 3D, is a commercial CAD software with multiple 3D modelling tools. The software enables you to create shapes with great precision and detail and is compatible with most design software.

Our Rhino courses will enable you to go from a beginner to an intermediate level, teaching you how to create 3D shapes from working with curves or mathematical formulas (NURBS). You will work through engaging exercises, guided by the lecturer. By the end of the course, you will be able to take your sketches, and accurately model and document your design to prepare them for the intended cause, whether that be architecture, engineering, manufacturing, rendering or animation.

The Rhino 3D course price includes:

• Free group course re-take within 18 months
• Expert teaching from practising architects, designers and software pros
• Hands-on, practical lessons
• Tailoring of syllabus and work on your projects
• Video tutorials and digital reference book for revision and development
• LST certificate of completion for your CV and LinkedIn
• Free career guidance

Your tutors are designers, makers and architects, as well as software pros. They will guide you on the best way to apply for design roles or set-up a creative business, whilst teaching you all the key technical skills to make your CV and portfolio stand out from the crowd.

All courses are available in-classroom and online. London Software Training is located in Hackney, East London. Our Rhino Introduction to Intermediate course can also be taken online, the virtual classroom offers the same quality as face-to-face training.

Our Rhino 3D Introduction to Intermediate 5 Week Evening Course is ideal for anyone looking to learn or expand their 2D and 3D modelling skills in a supportive and creative learning environment. Working knowledge of Rhino is beneficial for anyone looking to further their creative career or gain employment within product, furniture, architectural and jewellery design.
