Dedicated Instructors

All VDCI courses are taught by expertly trained and credentialed instructors

I graduated from VDCI in 2011. Now, I'm a licensed architect working in California without having an industry-related degree. I initially worked in the construction industry as a laborer in the field. I had some experience working with plans but knew nothing about drafting or blueprint creation. I decided to enroll in VDCI’s CAD/BIM Certificate Program to learn about AutoCAD and construction documents. To this day, I utilize the skills I learned at VDCI and train my staff through them.
