Workshops
We offer a range of workshops which are focused on improving the digital literacy of designers. We pride ourselves of delivering high-quality and engaging content which can be used in real-world scenarios. We customise our training to the target audience and ensure that the learning atmosphere is always positive and energetic.
Why choose us?
Quality
Paul Wintour is an internationally recognised teacher, having taught at numerous universities across the world. He has presented at various conferences throughout Australia including RTC, BILT and Autodesk University (AU). In 2022, he was voted the #1 speaker at BILT ANZ for his lab, 'Rhino.Inside Revit'.
Consistency
Unlike other companies, we don't sub-contract out. With Parametric Monkey, each workshop is presented by Paul Wintour to ensure quality and consistency.
Knowledge
Many of the software courses offered by others cover generic 'textbook' workflows. As a registered architect with over ten years of experience, Paul has extensive practical application of advanced workflows and customises learning material based on the specificity of each project.

Public Workshops
We all know that it is hard to get away from the office for large chunks of time. That’s why we’ve designed our workshops to suit the demands of AEC professionals. Our public workshops run for 3.5hrs/session so you’ll never be too far away from your project! Not only do we find this more convenient for our clients, but research shows that ‘spaced’ learning is a more effective way of remembering new information than ‘massed’ learning.
