Great information and great course for someone who had only some blueprint knowledge. Thank you!
I think it was well structured. Some of the information did feel like it was repeated constantly throughout the topics, like how to read the detail symbol so you know what page to go to, but I get why. It's important, and that helps reinforce the learning. Other than that, I have no complaints. This was a great intro to blueprints for me, and it's made me very excited to begin the commercial side of the course. Instructor replied to me right away when I asked a question and was very professional and polite. Great instructor.
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.
Loved this course and learned a lot.
The course layout was easy to follow and allowed you to build off of the information you just learned. It doesn't skip around.
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.
The Blueprint Residential Course was very adequate for understanding residential drawings, and it wasn’t passive or inactive because the instructor responded clearly to all questions asked.
This course was fun to go through! I feel like I learned so much. The way it was laid out and presented made it easy to follow and understand
Very satisfied with this course.
Thanks for a great course! I learned a lot!
Very satisfied with the course.
It was a great course that hit every topic that I had concerns with.
I found it very good and timely for expanding my knowledge in plans; the teacher quickly addressed my questions, just grateful.
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!
Completing this course has been an incredibly valuable experience for me. The course provided a clear, in depth understanding of commercial blueprints and construction documentation. The lessons were well-structured and easy to follow, making it an excellent resource for anyone looking to enter or advance in this industry. This course has given me confidence and knowledge to excel in my career, and I highly recommend it to anyone serious about improving their blueprint reading skills. This Blueprint Reading Certification was a game changer for me - it gave the knowledge and confidence to understand commercial drawings and apply them on the job. It's invaluable course for anyone looking to grow in the construction industry.
This was a great course. It was nice and short and I did learn a good amount of new information. Everything was explained clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. The information provided was extremely valuable and practical for real-world use. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to strengthen their estimating skills.
The course was comprehensive and very detailed, making it easy to follow and apply to real-world situations. The instructor was knowledgeable, clear, and engaging, which made the learning experience even better. Overall, it gave me a strong foundation in blueprint reading for commercial construction. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting a strong foundation in commercial construction.
It was a very interesting course that taught me a ton. I like how in depth it went with all of the subjects. I'm really happy with the course. Even though my learning style doesn't really match the format of this course, I still walked away with a bunch of knowledge on commercial blueprints! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in construction.
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.
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 blueprint reading class was thorough, easy to follow, and supported by smooth, well-organized content. It made learning straightforward and enjoyable. I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a clear path to understanding construction plans.
Course was great, dry material but the course overall was easy to navigate.
Truly a wonderful learning experience, teacher spoke with clarity explained everything thoroughly, videos were visually clear and easy to see. Tests were common sense so pay attention! Overall a wonderful experience! Five Star class!
This class really helped me understand a breakdown of the plans a lot better. The teacher was able to explain thoroughly what each class will focus on and gave detailed descriptions of each item he was referring to. I had a great experience in learning this course! 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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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.
