Academic, Student & Education Licenses
Chief Architect helps educators focus on teaching concepts and less on teaching software. Chief Architect includes a complete curriculum with a digital reference manual and tutorial guide as well as access to interactive training videos making it easy to learn and teach your architectural or interior design classes.
Chief Architect is offering a free Student License to allow more flexibility for students to complete coursework outside the classroom. Licenses are valid through February 1, 2025.
I teach Chief Architect to high school students and have never seen them more excited about any other program.
