I guess there are no real life courses to take in SketchUp… Or clubs where SketchUp users hand and help out each other… I mean it’s just my hobby to draw houses in 3D on the computer, but I guess I can’t learn more or hand out with others with the same interest anyway. It’s not like taking a ceramics course or oil painting course…
That’s not true. there are a variety of SketchUp courses offered and I know or a few SketchUp users groups who meet monthly or bimonthly. There are also options for online training. I’ve taught SketchUp classes in the community education program in my city and I do customized online training for SketchUp users worldwide. I’ve also done remote presentations for a couple of SketchUp users groups.
You could try starting a local users group. Maybe you’d get some more experienced users to join and you could take turns presenting.
Nice! I myself live in a city with a population of 100.000 in Sweden. Easier to find in bigger cities then I guess. But at least I can make a Swedish SketchUp Facebook group.
You might check out local community colleges and vocational training programs. In my area, 3 different community colleges teach SketchUp - two of them as part of their carpentry program and the 3rd in their art department (a jewelry design course).
100,000 population town in Sweden, must be a beautiful place to live!!

I’m teaching courses in SketchUp Pro basics, advanced features, furniture design and visualization with V-ray.
We don’t have any user groups in Latvia, but we are making seminars, webinairs and workshops all the time.
Lovely! Is it possible to read that page in English?
In what sense…?
If you are using Chrome, right-click on page to get the option to translate.
Nothing much to read there. The only three good articles would be the plugin compilations together with the download links and videos:
