Is this course still suitable if I don’t have much design or documentation experience in Australia?

This course is ideal if you’re early in your career or lack hands-on experience. The knowledge shared here typically takes years to acquire on the job—but we present it in a clear, structured, and accessible way. That’s why there’s such a gap in the industry: this kind of guidance is rarely provided. Our aim is to help you confidently navigate the steep learning curve that’s so common in the architecture profession.

Each course content page includes a discussion tab, giving you a space to ask questions, share insights, and connect with others on course-related topics.

 

Is the detailing course currently available? I’m having trouble purchasing it.

The detailing course will be released soon.

 

I’ve been working in the industry for a while—would the documentation course still be valuable for someone with experience?

Yes, the course is helpful even for experienced professionals.

With code requirements (from the NCC and Australian Standards) constantly changing, it can be difficult—even for those already in the industry—to keep track of where specific compliance requirements come from.

This course breaks that down clearly, showing you exactly where each requirement originates, so you can produce fully compliant documentation and reduce coordination errors.

We also provide a detailed checklist to help you navigate key requirements more efficiently—making the documentation process faster and more accurate.
