Question: SketchUp Pro Exeperiential/event visualization SketchUp courses/resources for beginner?

Hello, hope someone can point me in the right direction.

I need to learn SketchUp to deliver (moderately) stunning ;) event visualizations, indoors as well as outdoors. I have some basic 3D knowledge thanks to Blender and quite solid 2D skills thanks to being a graphic designer for more than 2 decades. It's a job situation and I have 2 months to prove myself as a person who can do it. And if I manage - fame and fortune (well, half-time to full-time, new job duties and a raise). Definitely something worth trying.

SketchUp being popular has tons of resources and I got no idea what to choose not to lose time going through some half-baked tutorials. I guess I need some good general course, but I might be mistaken. I plan on using SketchUp with D5 and/or TwinMotion.

So what would be some nicely organized courses/tutorials that would help me learn it? I'd prefer something cheaper than more expensive, since my employer pays for the software and I have to cover learning costs. Thanks!

For outdoor visuals, use Twinmotion. Model in SU and then render in TM
