Student Reviews
“The plan reading class has greatly enhanced my ability to interpret and understand complex architectural drawings. This skill has improved my accuracy and efficiency in preparing estimates and scopes of work.”
“Prior to enrolling in the estimating certificate program, I had no formal on-site experience in the construction industry. The online classes have really served as an alternative to that and helped me bridge the gap between where I am and where I want to be.”
(Summer 2024)
"I have enjoyed seeing multiple versions of sample drawings that were provided in the class. This opens the door for me to review how my trades drawings are incorporated into a full set of drawings. For example, I was able to catch a plumping issue on the drawings before it occurred in the field and saved rework costs to my company and the plumping company.” (Summer 2024)
“Everything is excellent from the interactions in the forum and of course the very educational and informative tasks.”
“My excel skills are definitely better since starting this course. They have really helped me navigate the bid tabs at work.”
