Blueprint Reading & Construction Estimating Course Online

My instructor was amazing - continuously checking in and making sure I was getting things done in an efficient manner. He answered all of my questions and made sure there wasn't anything I second guessed myself on. THE. BEST. David - if you see this - thank you.

I am rating this class a 5. I enjoyed how the class was structured and how each section built on one another. I also enjoyed that it was self paced so I could take notes and review videos as needed. This training helped me in my career because now, I can take on more responsibility on job sites and further my career to becoming a project manager.

I'd rate the blueprint reading training as a 5. I learned a lot of valuable info- the symbols knowledge has already helped me substantially! I enjoyed having the ability to work at my own pace and pause and replay portions of the training as needed. I work for a General Contractor, and this course will allow me to branch out and take on additional responsibilities with my company.

I enjoyed the whole course. The training provided me with the much-needed knowledge I was lacking.

I rate VDCI's training a 5 out of 5! Once I became acclimated to the course layout, it was smooth to follow and encouraged active engagement through the quizzes. This training helped kick-start my new career by providing me with the foundational knowledge I need to excel in my job at a high level.

What I enjoyed most about learning with VDCI was the vast knowledge that I gained from the instructor and class materials, and of course, scoring well on the tests! After earning my Blueprint Reading Certification with VDCI, I received a promotion and a sizable raise. Thank You!!!

This course deserves an overall rating of 5 out of 5 because it was very user-friendly and provided an abundance of useful knowledge. I especially appreciated the flexibility to move at my own pace without needing to attend a physical location, allowing me to fit the class into my schedule. The VDCI training significantly enhanced my understanding of construction estimation and revealed the impactful role it plays in reducing waste on job sites, proving invaluable to my career growth.

Great course, thank you! 10/10! Instructor was extremely kind and patient. I messaged him once about a point of clarity needed on a video. He was very thorough in his answer and offered further help if needed. He was also really encouraging (and as a student this late in life)....that mattered! Really impressed and very grateful.

Excellent course. Very satisfied. Great instructor. He was thorough, knowledgeable, and VERY encouraging! Extremely grateful.

The ease of access and informative videos provided by the course were exceptional. It’s a great addition to my resume and might help me secure a new job!

I give this course a 5 out of 5. It was amazing! What I enjoyed the most is that the videos weren't too long but very informative and simple. It helped me grasp the basics of engineering construction documents beyond just architectural ones and improved my understanding of how to navigate through a blueprint.

Thank you, VDCI, for giving me the support I needed to achieve satisfactory learning, which will be relevant to having a better quality of my work in construction! This was a very good experience.

This course was great, I learned so much more than I thought I would. I ended up with so much more knowledge than I ever could have hoped for. Originally the reason I signed up for this course was because I needed it in order to get my NYC Asbestos Investigators License. I figured that it would be like all the other online courses...boring and all information would be forgotten before the end of the week. But the way this course was set up with a real person speaking, and showing us what they are referring to by highlighting each area, on REAL construction drawings showed me exactly what they were addressing. Also, the information was conveyed in a simple, easy-to-understand manner, which made it possible to understand even with no prior knowledge of construction or blueprints. After learning so much, I want to take the next course even if I don't need it, and my company doesn't pay for it. Looking forward to the next one!

I enjoyed this course because it is self-paced, informative, and accessible to people both within and outside of the industry. The construction estimating course clearly illustrated the entire process for takeoffs and provided valuable insight into how tasks were performed before the advancements of digital technology in construction. It helped me successfully transition into a new career.

I would rate this course a 5 out of 5 because of its comprehensive and well-structured content. The self-paced format allowed me to balance work and other commitments while completing the course on time, and the clear, beginner-friendly videos made learning straightforward and approachable.

The training at VDCI helped me refresh my knowledge and gave me the opportunity to learn more about the systems here in the USA. Also, I like the fact that I could go through the course at my own pace.

I enjoyed being able to learn how to read prints and seeing how many of the pages are interconnected and it takes looking at the many pages to figure out exactly what needs to be done. I liked looking at my plans from work alongside the videos and making sure I was taking in all of the learnings from the videos.

I really enjoyed it and learned a lot!

Easy to follow and great narrative!

Great course!

I enjoyed the good user interface and ease of understanding the material. This course helped me get a job by showing the certification in the resume.

I enjoyed taking this course! I feel I will be taking a lot of this training on how to understand reading and also understanding blueprints more now than ever.

This course is a 5 out of 5. The instructor was concise and clear. I had no questions! This course helped me obtain an estimating role in concrete.

What I appreciated most about VDCI's Blueprint Reading training was how clearly the concepts were explained and how practical the examples were. The course layout was intuitive, and the hands-on approach made it easy to stay engaged. I especially valued how it broke down construction drawings in a way that felt accessible yet thorough. The training gave me the confidence to interpret blueprints more efficiently on the job site, which directly improved communication with subcontractors and allowed me to catch potential issues earlier. It also strengthened my project planning skills, giving me an edge in managing scope, schedules, and budgets. Thanks again for a great learning experience!

This course is easy to understand and follow the instructions, I will qualify it as highly user friendly!
