Frequently asked

Before you enrol.

Will my professional body accept this for CPD?

The course is structured to meet the published self-recorded CPD criteria in Australia, the UK, Canada, New Zealand and Ireland. In each of these markets CPD is recorded by the architect โ€” boards and institutes do not pre-approve individual courses, so there is no provider list to be on. You record the 4 hours yourself, supported by the certificate of completion, the assessment result and your written reflection.

Once enrolled, the in-course How to Claim by Country guide walks through exactly how to log it in each market. CPD requirements vary by registration board and institute, so each participant is responsible for confirming eligibility with their own professional body.

What if I'm not in one of the five listed countries?

The five named countries are where we have verified the course meets the published structured-CPD criteria. Most other CPD frameworks (EU member states, Singapore, South Africa, the UAE and others) accept structured learning that includes written outcomes, assessment and a reflection task โ€” which this course provides โ€” but the recording mechanics vary.

If you're outside the five listed markets, you can still take the course and submit the certificate and assessment to your own professional body as evidence of structured learning. We recommend checking with your registration board or institute before purchase.

What software and tools do I need to buy separately?

You'll need Adobe Photoshop 2025+ (your existing subscription) and the Nano Banana plugin from Astria โ€” a one-time $9 plugin, plus pay-as-you-go credits for the image generations themselves. Typical credit usage for completing the course is in the order of a few dollars.

No GPU is required. Everything runs through cloud APIs, so the course works on any modern Mac or PC that can run Photoshop comfortably. There's no Adobe Firefly subscription needed, no Stable Diffusion local install, no additional 3D software.

Do I need prior AI or 3D experience?

No. The course is built for architects and designers who are confident in Photoshop but new to AI image workflows. It starts with simple prompts and Photoshop tools, then builds toward advanced architectural use cases โ€” sketch-to-image, plan-to-render, image-to-video and more.

There is no 3D modelling, no scripting, no Grasshopper or Blender prerequisite. If you can navigate Photoshop, you can take this course.

How does the 60-minute 1-on-1 session work?

Every student receives one optional 60-minute 1-on-1 session with Brice, booked through a private calendar link at a time that suits you. Most students use the session to work through their own project material โ€” applying the course workflow to a real visualisation they need to deliver.

Sessions are conducted by video call. They must be booked within 12 months of purchase. The session is optional; if you don't use it, that doesn't affect your access to anything else.

Is this course live, or pre-recorded?

Lessons are curated, pre-recorded videos you can complete at your own pace. The course includes activities, a structured assessment and a reflection task โ€” all designed to be completed on your own schedule.

Your 60-minute 1-on-1 session with Brice is the live component, booked when it suits you within 12 months of purchase.
