Blueprint Reading Course Online

This course was amazing! I enjoyed the self paced aspect. I was able to complete it quickly on my own time. It was also very thorough and I learned a lot. I had no prior experience in the construction field and this course was my stepping stone into landing my first job. After completing the course I could confidently apply for construction positions knowing that I had an understanding of the an integral part of the job.

I learned a lot of valuable information by taking this class that has helped me with my job.

I like how thorough the material covered was presented, taught, and structured. The in-depth explanations helped out immensely with seeing solutions to common questions and problems that are likely to arise in day-to-day construction. As a commercial journeyman carpenter and now a residential general contractor, reading prints and having a trained eye are crucial for my career.

I enjoyed learning the terminology of all the different parts of the drawing details and how CAD organizes the data into a functional and easy way to understand how all of the information ties in together. This training helped my career by equipping me with a deeper understanding of the basics of construction drawings and what discrepancies I should be looking for when working on a project. Thank you!

Amazing course! It was very detail oriented. I was starting out in an estimating position when I began this course and it helped me get a great understanding of blueprint reading. Thank you!

I most enjoyed the modular approach and the ability for me to train at my pace. As a result, I am more comfortable with terminology and I understand better what I am looking at, whether that is on paper or on site. Thanks to the course, I can be given a set of drawings and be bettered equipped to turn those into reality!

I would give the course a perfect score 5 out of 5! I enjoyed the fact that this class focused on both big picture and also granular details. It did a great job of explaining Site Plans and Cover Pages, as well as details and building sections. It was great to see how you can start at the site plan and zoom in to the details, and how to get from one to another. It helps show how the entire building is connected and how everything comes together. This course just completely checks the box if you need to know how to read and interpret architectural drawings. I work in construction and it is absolutely necessary how to read plans. I now have the ability to walk clients through building designs and explain how things are going to look, based on the plans. Everything starts with the drawings. You'd also be shocked at the fact that by taking this class, you probably have a better understanding than a lot of guys out there doing the work. This is a great class for ANYONE. Men, women, especially the younger generation. I literally think there's a case that this should be taught in high school classrooms. There is no downside to taking this class. Who wouldn't want to be able to understand building plans? It will 100% come in useful at some point.

I enjoyed how convenient it was to take classes. This course helped me pass my exam!

Very detailed training! I use the skills I learned from VDCI daily.

This course was easy to sign up for and easy to use. Once I received my certificate, it helped me with my interview to get into the elevator union. While taking my classes with IUEC, I already had a foundation for blueprint reading due to my courses taking with VDCI.

This course was really helpful and I've been able to apply it to my job. I most enjoyed going through the different plans and learning new things. VDCI's training definitely helped my career - It helped me understand plans a lot better than I did before!

VDCI’s training helped my career by giving me the confidence to understand all the aspects of the plans I have for my projects. I enjoyed that I was able to go at my own pace, and rewatch a lesson that I may have not understood very well.

Amazing course! I enjoyed the instructor’s clarity, interaction with fellow students and ease of completing the course. The knowledge I gained helps me in my daily work environment, which consists of analyzing blueprints for bidding jobs within various trades, such as HVAC, electrical and plumbing.

I took the blueprints reading class and it was a 5-star class for sure. It gave me the knowledge I needed to help redline plans, help with the design of our client's homes, and made me more of an asset to the company I'm working for!

I really enjoyed learning about commercial blueprints and it was an easy process. It has helped me with pursuing my career in commercial construction

I enjoyed the confidence and ease the coursework provided. The instructor who taught in the videos brought great perspective to assist with retaining new information. Many of the terms I could not understand when reading blueprints, were easy to catch on after doing the training and finishing the quizzes. This way of teaching made learning enjoyable and empowering enough for me to enroll in another course soon as I am able to! VDCI's training has assisted me in my career with being able to understand blueprints a bit more fluently to where I can assist the civil engineer with bidding opportunities which has helped amplify the pace of being awarded more projects. Having said that, It has also helped me with a raise in my salary and has helped me with communicating with subcontractors and my own co-workers.

I was able to read blueprints at work immediately after learning the material. I mostly enjoyed the efficient yet thorough material covered in the course.

The video tutorials and application of real-life plans was immensely helpful in learning both the theory and real practice of reading blueprints. VDCI's training directly impacted my career as a residential superintendent. There were consistent learnings and takeaways from the class that translated directly into my day-to-day work of reading, interpreting, and building per drawings.

I enjoyed learning the differences between details on commercial and residential plans. As an estimator, the training helped me to be more efficient and detail oriented at my job.

5/5 rating! Clear and concise training sessions. The training has propelled my career immensely, as reading blueprints are imperative as a Project Manager in architectural precast.

I learned a lot about the smaller details in a set of blueprints. I knew a lot about the big picture overall, but learning about the fine details and how to break everything down was very helpful. This program allowed me to get a promotion in my career. Thanks!

What I liked most about my VDCI training is the ability to do it on my own time and in the comfort of my own home. As well as the website ease of use. This course allowed me to brush up on situations I do not commonly deal with in my place of employment. It enabled me to deal with these situations in my workplace in real time with the confidence that I got from the training.

I was very hesitant at first, but after starting the courses and going through the motions of the lessons, flowed very well. Never felt rushed to get through my courses and received constant communication from professors letting me know I can ask them any question I had.

Working as a finishing carpenter, I previously knew about details, but moving into a higher position, I needed to know everything I could about blueprints. This course was not a hard course and was easy to follow.

Great course.
