The end of summer for students is almost over and back to school time is rapidly approaching. Don't be the only one not going back to school. Trimble Construction One users have free access to a bevy of courses around Vista and the entire TC1 suite. Today we'll take a peek at how to find all the free content to help further your knowledge of TC1 and maybe even further your career in the process.

The Trimble Viewpoint Academy is included with your subscription.You already have an Academy account if you have a Customer Support portal login. Talk to your system admin about getting an account if you don't already have one.

To start, head over tohttps://academy.viewpoint.com/and login. In addition to options for Role Based learning (which you can earn certifications from) you can simply search for individual courses.

Scroll down a bit until you see the search bar. I'll show you how to filter down the courses to something relevant.

Click the CATEGORIES button and Select Viewpoint. You can filter further if you like to show only certain Viewpoint products. Selecting Viewpoint though will give you a good starting point.

Next click on the FILTERS button and select Price. Some courses are fee based, primarily instructor led courses, however there are plenty of free courses to take advantage of. Select the Enroll option to see all of the free offerings.

Here I can see that there are 267 free courses in the Viewpoint category. Some things to note are the amount of general construction knowledge courses such as the Intro to Construction Accounting course. Great for the up and coming construction admin professional.Navigating Vistais a great course for employees that are brand new to Vista. I like to call it Vista 101. Note the New tags showing newly published content as well as some of the role based learning plans like the Vista Controller Learning Plan.

Whether you are looking for a course around Vista, VistaWeb (financial controls, HR Management, Field Service, etc), Viewpoint Team, Project Sight, or any other Viewpoint product, you'll find a course to learn something new here.

I'll note that these courses are web based so you can also watch them on the go with a tablet or a phone if it has a large-ish screen.
