Virtual Design & Construction Institute Reviews & Testimonials

The course is easy to follow, and the video instructor is very clear on how to navigate Revit. BIM 323 - Revit Electrical Course is an excellent way to jumpstart your career in electrical design due to its easy-to-follow video tutorials.

I definitely learned a ton about reading blueprints for residential projects, and it is quickly becoming useful in my job. I would definitely recommend this course for people that want to deepen their knowledge about blueprints and residential or commercial projects!

I think the Courses are great, its been a huge confidence booster. I love the fact that it's self-paced. As Someone who is new to the construction industry, VDCI has given me a solid foundation and understanding of blueprint reading. I feel that I can instantly apply what I have learned to the field. This program has boosted my knowledge as well as my confidence. I look forward to taking other courses, as I have been quite pleased with my first experience.

I highly recommend this to anyone that is getting into a field where they will need to know how to read and interpret drawings and blueprints. Even if someone has some experience with it already, more than likely they will still be able to take away some new knowledge. The courses were very straight forward and to the point. I have zero experience with anything residential but going forward I feel I have a much better knowledge base and more confidence. I was able to learn a lot and I know I will be able to apply it to my current job and become an even more valuable employee.

I got a lot of experience with VDCI. The teacher, Michael Wilson, is the greatest teacher ever. I appreciate him. Thank you.

I thought that learning Revit online would be difficult, but having the ability to review the videos and transcripts allowed me to follow the class with ease. Completing Revit training online proved to be both effective and convenient. The ability to work at my own pace within structured timeframes made the learning process highly manageable. The support provided through chat was prompt, clear, and very helpful in addressing questions along the way. I would highly recommend this course to professionals who are seeking to learn Revit for the first time or to further enhance their skills.

It was very engaging and easy to follow!

I work for a material handling company where we are often asked to maximize warehouse space for efficiency. AutoCAD helps greatly to achieve this goal and the VDCI courses do a wonderful job in breaking down the AutoCAD functionality so that it works towards our intended purposes. The offered courses at VDCI are a great investment for anyone looking to utilize AutoCAD to its full potential. The course was paced really well and wasn't overwhelming. The instructor did a good job not skipping steps just because they had to be repeated. In my opinion, a big part of the learning curve with AutoCAD is repetition so that the workflow becomes ingrained. The course does well with this methodology.

Been learning Revit from YouTube and articles online. This course made learning the basics much simpler. Quizzes and Hands-on exercises made memorization of the material easy, and the videos provided are pretty straight-forward.

After taking the Blueprint Reading Course, I feel confident in starting a new career in sales in the construction industry. Very good informative class for someone who is new to blueprint reading.

The experience was eye opening and showed me that my current skill set is at a higher, perceptive, leadership level than what the world portrays or I even imagined. I look forward to taking further classes to continue towards the path of developing, designing, and creating high-rise, condominium complexes. I also deeply appreciated my professor staying on top of my progress and notifying me when I was falling behind. Deep respects.

Very informative course, easy to understand , and I learned a lot.

The teaching methodology is great. All the necessary course content was covered with great detail and the quizzes and projects made the learning compulsory. The overall experience was amazing.

After really diving into the plans, I have a greater understanding of what each set of plans is explaining and referring to. Thank you!

Amazing course. The videos were consistent and provided clear understanding on the fundamentals of blueprint reading. I was able to up-skill my blueprint reading skills and estimate construction projects without guidance from other team members.

That was a good experience. I recommend it to everyone.

The activities really helped me learned Civil3D better. Overall, this course helped me land a job that specializes Land Development. I’ve been using a lot of things I learned from VDCI at my job. The training gave me the basic knowledge to be able to easily fit in a job that uses Civil3D everyday.

I really liked how the training was structured and easy to follow, even for someone new to Revit. The mix of hands-on exercises and step-by-step guidance made it simple to build confidence with the software. The course gave me a strong foundation in Revit, which I can now apply as I pursue opportunities in construction and BIM-related roles. It’s already made me feel more prepared for conversations with industry professionals and opened doors for my next career steps.

I would like to express my utmost satisfaction with my experience at VDCI, which I rate as exceptional. I particularly appreciated the instructor's expertise and the clarity of the instruction, which significantly enhanced my understanding. As a direct result of this training, I have been promoted to Superintendent for a new project within my organization. I am grateful for the positive impact of this experience.

I really enjoyed the communication with others in the class and ease of use. I learned a lot! I learned to do window and door take-offs which helped me advance in my career.

I like being able to work at my own pace for the online training. It was a great introduction course for me to start a new career path in drafting and permitting.

I loved the flexibility and convenience of being able to still work a full time job and take VDCI training courses on the side. It has helped me to understand how to read plans in a more in depth way.

The training was very well-structured and easy to follow, with practical examples I could apply right away in my work. Revit files are very common in any project. Now I can navigate through them and gather important information about the architect’s design, as well as share ideas back with them to coordinate more efficiently.

Definitely would rate my experience and course 5 out of 5. Love the instructor and very valuable criteria. I enjoyed learning more Civil 3D skills from a very skilled and knowledgeable Civil 3D instructor. You can tell the instructor was well versed and explained things very well. This training helped me out exponentially for my career. I’ve been able to utilize and grow with my organization thanks to VDCI. I plan to take more and truly appreciate all of your help.

I enjoyed the efficiency of the VDCI training. Some training can get repetitive and ramble on, but this training was smooth and got the points across without sounding like a broken record. Very well done on the training videos! This training helped me learn how to properly read blueprints to get quotes to my customers in a timely manner.

The classes were great and very informative. I enjoyed learning more about the commercial side. I work with custom homes. I am new to construction so it gave me a good depth of knowledge with blueprints. I feel I am better equipped to communicate with trades and the owners.

VDCI was very easy to use and complete work on. I use blueprints everyday at work.

It was really great course. I like how the instructor took his time to explain everything at a good pace. It was not too fast, not too slow. I also like that throughout the whole lecture he kept repeating things that we had went over intentionally as he gave the lecture to really make us be aware of certain things. It is a great way to ensure we understand the topic that he is going through at that moment. I am now able to understand and do my job better as I look at blue prints all day.

It was a course I was able to be completed at my own pace and time, and worked with my work schedule. Very well broken down, and easy to maneuver. It has helped me better understand some items that I may have been missing, that I hadn't seen in the past.

I enjoyed being challenged to learn something new. Very good course for novice CAD users who haven’t done it since earlier education. It helped me to understand programming for our CNCs in the stone industry.

I enjoy the videos and practical application projects. The best way to learn this type of software is hands on experience and this course helped me hone my skills, learn a new platform and create professional construction documents. This also helped me land a freelance job for a contractor, designing homes for several plots of land.

I enjoyed the instructor’s knowledge level and the class format. I was able to take the concepts presented in the class and apply them to my work as a Faculty Manager.

I liked how easy it was to make my own time to view the videos and not feel rushed going through the information. It was very easy to use the chat boards and the couple of times I reached out to teachers I got responses quickly. I've now got more confidence opening plans and flipping through them to find the information from a main page, to the details.

I liked the fact that it could be accomplished completely online.

I enjoyed the blueprint examples which helped me greatly. The training helped me change careers and join the field of construction.

I best enjoyed that I could access the course at my own pace and all the material taught was up to date. VDCI’s training has helped open doors to supervisory position in construction that I have applied to.

I enjoyed all the instructors. They were knowledgeable. VDCI classes helped me to understand the plumbing commercial industry better.

VDCI gave a thorough lesson for you to fully understand CIVIL 3D. Transition from 2D CAD to 3d, there were some hesitations initially. However, VDCI’s lectures and customer care significantly made this transition super easy. While taking the classes, you can feel that the training has a positive intention with the client's growth and education in mind. VDCI’s training gave me a beautiful foundation for my business to give the best possible product for my clients.

The class has allowed me to read blueprints and has allowed me to successfully bid on bigger projects and have been awarded a couple, so the class has definitely already paid for itself.

The training helps me estimate cost on projects we use in my current and past jobs. It gave me a better understanding of cost structure in construction and I have applied the training in several practical uses in my current and past positions.

The course went real in depth with its lessons and I am happy to have learned so much from this.

The instructor was very clear and made understanding construction thorough yet simple. I am a Building Inspector and the course helped me identify and learn aspects of plans I did not previously understand.

The videos are really easy to understand and it gives you a step-by-step instruction from which you could really have a feel of the software. The training helped me in my career in terms of a more visual approach of the projects that we handle (since mostly for electrical engineering we deal with single line drawings), it makes me appreciate more and have a greater overall view of the project.

The Blueprint Reading training was clear, well-structured, and very practical. The real-world examples and step-by-step approach made it easy to follow and apply. It gave me more confidence in reading and interpreting construction drawings, which has helped me identify potential scope gaps, review submittals more effectively, and communicate with engineers and subcontractors more precisely. This has made me a more valuable and efficient team member in my current role.

I enjoyed getting to experience the start to finish full drafting of a building. It set me up for the basic knowledge and applicable credential to prove my knowledge of Revit.
