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 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 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 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 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.
5 stars! Good beginners course if you are new to the industry.
These courses have been a game changer in my ability to retain information and apply it to real life projects. VDCI has been invaluable in my career transition. With no prior background to construction, I've gained essential knowledge and practical skills that have helped me quickly catch up and feel confident in a new field.
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!
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 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 course was a solid 5/5 for me! I really enjoyed how engaging the videos were. The training is really helping me as I am forming myself as an estimator!
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.
Great info in a quick fashion. I would highly recommend to anyone who is trying to build a foundation to get started on in this industry.
The VDCI Blue Print training course is exceptionally well-organized and thoughtfully designed. The material is clearly explained and delivered at an enjoyable pace that ensures thorough understanding without feeling sluggish. Key concepts are strategically reinforced, reminding the student of the concepts value at the right moments. The instructor intuitively understands how people learn, is clearly experienced and has outstanding communication skills. This course earns full stars for its quality. Even those with some experience reading blueprints will find it enhances their ability to navigate plans quickly and confidently.
I am already an Estimator in the Protective Packaging Industry, but I have absolutely no experience in Construction. I was nervous that I would not be able to complete this course without difficulty, but the subjects were explained very well and easy to follow. I'm so glad I decided to take this course, and I truly hope I'm able to advance my career with what I have learned here and the certificate I'm walking away with.
Great class!
The instructor is awesome!
My instructor was very responsive and he kept me aware of deadlines for pacing.
Very good course that made learning much easier with very well-explained videos and step-by-step instructions showing and explaining everything.
I enjoyed how in detail the trainer/presenter would go into on specific topics. I started a new position doing take offs with minimal construction experience and the course has helped me tremendously. I can look at plans and understand what I'm looking at for the most part.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The school and instructors are very supportive.
The course provided in depth examples of the estimation process. The instructor was also very prompt with replies.
I liked that I could work at my own pace, and I was able to fit into my work schedule. The videos were very comprehensive, and the instructors were very knowledgeable about the class and presented it in a comprehendible manner. The training has helped keep our estimating costs for my steel supply business very low, now that we can keep it in house.
Great Course! I will definitely recommend this to others.
I thought all of the information was very helpful and clearly conveyed.
Great information, pace, and delivery of information. My instructor was courteous, fair, and prompt to reply!
Overall, this was an amazing course and I truly enjoyed myself, taking away key knowledge that I will implement into my day to day working for a GC currently.
Great course. I learned a lot and feel this has already helped me be a better project manager!
Great course!
Good class, thanks!
I enjoyed the responses from my instructors! They were always detailed, quick to answer my questions, and most importantly they were patient and understanding. That’s hugely important to me. Right now I’m an intern at a small firm. Nothing’s set in stone just yet but I definitely wouldn’t have gotten here if it wasn’t for the VDCI’s training!
The course has been a pleasure. I appreciate online learning
I like that the course was self paced and provided basic information throughout the entire construction process. Helped me become more knowledgeable on construction.
This course was fantastically put together. It wasn't too long, but it wasn't too condensed. The quizzes were just right as well. Bravo!

Loved the course. Great Instructor!
The course is great and thorough. The student engagement forum to post and reply is understandable yet challenging when there are not many posts. Thank you for creating this course. I was looking for this type of in-depth explanation from a reliable source.
Great course! Need more like this.
I really enjoyed the videos in the course. Very easy to use and understand. Some of the quiz questions were a little difficult to understand what was being asked. Other than that, great course overall.
Excellent examples and the second half highlighted many of the terms. Very quick response time. It was as if the instructor was talking right next to me. He was very personable and gave applicable insights towards the course objectives and understanding key concepts.
I appreciated the highlighting of subject material on the slides/photos to further explain course content. Excellent opening course! My instructor was very personable and gave quick feedback as if we were having a direct conversation.
He was perfect, professional, and quick to respond. Everyone was very friendly and helpful... Many thanks!
