Our RhinoGold training classes are designed to reduce the learning curve, and enable jewellers to use RhinoGOLD software to quickly design in 3D, produce high-quality renderings, and create pieces which can be cast in precious metals such as gold or platinum. Attendees should be comfortable in the MS-Windows Environment. Any previous experience in 2D or 3D CAD is helpful, but not necessary as this class is tailored for beginners.

“RhinoGold 6.5/6.6 Essentials – Training for Beginners“ is conducted in a classroom environment (4-8 people) via a data-projector. Training is 7-hours per day (14-hours total). This is the best option for beginners as we cover most functions including some of the more advanced commands, and we work through tutorials and exercises.

You will require your own laptop running Windows 7/8. Students with Apple notebooks will require Windows 7/8 installed via Boot Camp or Parallels. If you do not have a laptop, please state that in the form below and we can advise you of the cost to hire a PC/Laptop for the 2-days training.

How much does the course cost?

COST: $790 inc.gst (min 4 / max 8 people)
