Great course. Great instructor. I appreciate his advice at the end of the course about Estimating opportunities.
I'll recommend to family and friends.
I am truly grateful for the decision to take this course; I found the methodology outstanding. The instructor's extensive knowledge, along with the graphics and construction examples for the panels, were highly productive. I am genuinely satisfied and will definitely recommend it to my entire circle.
The course was well structured, and the video lessons did a great job breaking down complex residential plans into clear, logical steps. the quizzes and material provided an excellent foundation.
Excellent course with a great instructor and I enjoyed the content!!
I really enjoyed the pace. I am in architecture school and I always have trouble with the quick pace, so this was really helpful because it allowed me to take as much time as I needed to understand the concepts.
The narration voice is very nice for the videos.
As a novice to the construction industry, this course provided me with information I wished I had known before hiring a contractor.
My instructor, Matt, was awesome. I enjoyed the course overall and will 100% recommend.
Thank you for taking the time to break down and explain how to use the Bluebeam software.
Very thankful to have received the guidance and support from my Instructor! I loved the chat box and David Nguyen's guidance; they made my experience with the course very good!
Great course.
Matthew is a great instructor. This class gave me a really great understanding of Bluebeam and its capabilities. Matthew was very detail-oriented and covered various aspects of material takeoff.
It's been very helpful, and I now feel ready to start using Bluebeam to perform takeoffs/estimates. And the instructor is very helpful. I was confused about some instructions, and he was very helpful.
This course allowed me to learn a new way of working that is much more professional and efficient. I am grateful for the online format and the way in which we complemented the acquired knowledge through quizzes and assignments. It was noticeable that the instructor was highly trained and took the time to prepare each class before explaining it, and that he was very effective in each video, covering the need for what needed to be explained.
I'm enjoying the content of this course. Highly professional. So well explained. Quickly replied to all my questions.
This course has a lot of useful information, so it's worth taking. The instructor is really knowledgeable, easy to reach, and responsive. He promptly responded to all my questions in a clear and easy-to-understand way.
The course is great. The instructor has a great mastery of the subject. I feel like a professional already, just going through the course.
I found the content to be excellent and very professional. I believe I learn the most from the quizzes; the fact that I am being evaluated helps me fully grasp the concepts.
The instructor was very helpful and responsive.
This is an excellent course that provides clear, precise, and highly informative content. The instructor demonstrated professionalism and was very helpful, consistently providing guidance throughout the course.
Overall, I enjoyed my time learning from this course. Thank you for working with me. I appreciate your time.
I think it was perfect and easy!
Great course and great content!
Very good information!
Great course! Thank you!
Amazing!
All the information that I received will be very beneficial in assisting me with my estimating position.
I like the shorter videos. Keeps our attention focused.
Great Course! I will add to my toolbox a lot of concepts from these topics. Very well organized and right to the bone with every subject. David was great at reminding me to stay on track. Overall A+! Thank you.
The course was good. It was broad and explained all estimation aspects. Really enjoyed the training and like more about its simplicity and straightforward explanations.
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.
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.
It was a course I was able to complete 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.
5 stars! Good beginners course if you are new to the industry.
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.
I would rate the VDCI blueprint reading course a 5/5! What I enjoyed most was the slow and understandable explanations of the teacher’s voice. Very clear and easy to make sense of. I have been a roofer since the late 90's and switched to estimating re-roofs for the last 5 years. Now, thanks to the VDCI blueprint reading course, I have upgraded my estimating skills to also estimate on new construction projects. One more tool in my toolbox. Thank you very much!
Great course! I liked that it was online and that I could do it at my own pace. It was also affordable which was a huge bonus! I am a former teacher that made a career switch to the construction field. I wanted to learn estimating but had no clue how to read prints (or really anything about the field). My boss tried to teach me and it didn't go well… fast forward to VDCI’s course, I was learning quickly and easily and not from someone that “just knows” from years of experience. I’m now estimating for my company and have been for roughly a year!
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 really enjoyed the way the training teaches in a practical way, well divided into modules of each scope of a blueprint. This course helped me a lot for my superintendent job and estimator helper.
I enjoyed that the classes were available online and let the learning be at your own pace. VDCI’s Training helped me in my current job I have today by providing me knowledge of plan reading and estimating as I am now doing small project estimating for the company I work for and I’m so happy I took these classes to build my career I have now!
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!
