"As a furniture maker, looking at the building perspective brought me from the tiny detail to the large-scale construction."

While working as a woodworker, Shyan participated in the online course Sustainable Building with Timber.

What was your motivation for enrolling in this course/program? 
I read about the course on a LinkedIn post from FSC and, since I was interested in sustainable timber, I enrolled to learn more about the timber possibilities in the world.

How did/will this course impact your career or life? 
I got to know more about the material ability and joinery system. As a furniture maker, looking at the building perspective brought me from the tiny detail to the large-scale construction.

How was your experience learning online?
It was great. You could take the course at your own pace to go through all the content, and get information from different countries, especially on the first assignment when we shared about wooden buildings from our own area.

What advice would you give someone who is thinking of taking a similar course?
Make sure you have good time management because you will delve into a lot of side research if you are willing and eager to learn even more!
