Commercial Blueprint Reading Bootcamp

Great and very professional instructor!

This course taught me to understand the meaning of symbols on plans to have more control over details and elevations. This allowed me to gain more experience. Thank you very much! The course was very interesting.

I know it's kind of hard to assess each student's background and tailor the course to their needs, but you guys tackle it awesomely. Some of us don't have degrees, just field experiences, and the course was thoughtfully designed.

My instructor, David Nguyen, was prompt in email replies. I was very impressed with that. Any questions I had were taken care of within an hour. Great job.

The video instructor was thorough without being monotonous. Knowledgeable and easy to listen to (@ 1.25 speed). I enjoyed his review of this project. :)

The instructor did a good job!!!

Overall, I loved the course.

I enjoyed your course to help me further my current job.

Excellent job!

This course helped me out. The instructor explained all the sections very well.

Great information and great course for someone who had only some blueprint knowledge. Thank you!

It's been a pleasure and an enjoyment to gain, learn, and obtain this invaluable knowledge afforded and provided to me through this course!

I thought the instructor videos were very well done and timed well. I found them engaging and informative without getting dry or boring. I would highly recommend this course even for experienced contractors to fill any gaps they may have in their training or knowledge.

I really have nothing extra to add because the quality of the course is top-notch in my opinion.

The instructor was very knowledgeable and easy to follow through the course.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and its step-by-step process. It was interesting to see what technology is being used and how it is used to create blueprints now, since the last time I took a drafting class was in high school. I'm now interested in how to use Revit as a layman draftsman.

Sufficient information and testing.

Loved to learn a little more. Loved my instructor too, he always helped me.

Very satisfied with this course.

Thanks for a great course! I learned a lot!

It was a great course that hit every topic that I had concerns with.

This class is a 5 out of 5. I enjoyed the thorough breakdowns for each topic paired with videos that even further helped me understand the topic. The videos were thorough, and they had fantastic examples to learn from. As a new junior estimator with no prior experience reading blueprints, this class enabled me to fly through blueprints picking up what I knew I needed rather than fumbling through hoping I find what I need.

This was a really good course for me. I’m an office manager for a small commercial construction company, and I see drawings for different jobs, but I don’t have much to do with them. I also never really thought about what I was looking at. It’s really very interesting. The course is very clear, to the point, and broken into enough small bites that you cannot become overwhelmed.

The course was well thought out, had a lot of relevant information. I found the site to be easy to navigate. The reference materials were complete and had all of the information needed. I have 30 years in the construction industry, 23 in construction management. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount that I was able to learn from this course. I am continuing my education, getting certifications to bolster my field experience. I will definitely be enrolling in more courses through the VDC Institute.

I appreciated the format of the course and the attention to detail the instructor demonstrated. The material is presented in a way that's easy to understand! Every detail is broken down and after, you get an explanation on why it is important. The quizzes make you recall the information you just learned so it's more likely to stick!
