Training Programs
CET Path for Design
Our CET training courses for commercial designers are arranged by experience level – Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced – to learn CET no matter where on the path you might be.
CET Path for Sales
This CET education was created specifically for contract furniture salespeople to better collaborate with designers and possibly use CET themselves.
Spec5 Path
Learn Spec through this simplified course for designers, salespeople, & project coordinators.
Worksheet Path
Worksheet training taught by the incredible CAD Trainer Guy and an experienced designer to demonstrate best practices used in a dealership
Searchable Learning Content
Commercial Design Software Training
Learn best practices, see expert recommendations, and get answers to
questions about 2020 Design, Bluebeam, Configura software (CET, Spec, and Commercial Interiors Library), Yulio, and more.
Personal & Professional Development
Designers spend a lot of time enhancing product knowledge and exercising design muscles, so we also have content on how dealer designers play an important role in the buying process and new ways to engage with customers.
Manufacturer CET Extension Training
Just because a designer is proficient with CET doesn't mean they know everything about an extension. Our manufacturer videos provide knowledge on their extension, searchable by product line and type.
Designer Community
Monthly Live Webinars + Q&As
The monthly webinar is free for anyone to attend live (meaning you don’t need to be a POP subscriber) and includes topics relevant to dealer designers. Subscribers that can’t make it will be able to access a recording.
POP Q&A is a subscriber-only session led by Alexandra Tseffos of Silent T and The Design POP where we answer questions, provide “how-to” help, talk best practices, and discuss future content suggestions.
