“I ended up going with VDCI because they allowed a faster program, you can be done in under a year and it was vastly cheaper, but one of the one of the main reasons I went with VDCI was because of the hands-on experience and just the real practical real-life situations that they offered in the program. After I got hired my boss actually told me that I had more experience just from coming out of school than most of the people they hired from a two-year institution, so that just goes to show you because real engineers teach the program a VDCI you just get more like real-life problems and real life situations. And they do a good job of taking you through that.”

“John graduated from VDCI in 2011. Now, he is a licensed architect working in California without having an industry-related degree. John initially worked in the construction industry as a laborer in the field. He had some experience working with plans but knew nothing about drafting or blueprint creation. John decided to enroll in VDCI’s CAD/BIM Certificate Program to learn about AutoCAD and construction documents. To this day, John utilizes the skills he learned at VDCI and trains his staff through them.”

“My experience with this course was great! Michael Wilson, who was my instructor helped me with any issues I had and gave great feedback. By the end of the training I am now able to use Revit after having no experience at all with the program. ”

“My favorite aspect of the training was how the material was presented. Key points were reiterated frequently, and how complex items were presented in a way that wasn't overwhelming, which made the coursework incredibly enjoyable. A must for working adults that are interested in continuing education.”

“VDCI training courses definitely helped me to get a job in the field. At the moment, I work as a building designer (architectural technician) and I have been using part of what I learned from their courses. A lot of what I learned in Revit when taking Revit courses at VDCI have been translated into my job with success.”

“I enjoyed my experience a lot. I found it to be very informative and flexible and exactly what I needed to expand into the career that I hope to get. I was satisfied with my instructors. I found my practicum professor. Megan Lacy, stood out to me the most. The VDCI staff was always very helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had though out my whole experience in the program. I found the practicum to be the most enjoyable and confidence building part of the program. It allowed me to combine everything I learned and really solidified the skills that I had learned through out my program.”

“I agree it got easier as I completed each lesson. I also work with residential and commercial drawings for my everyday job. I had one project the other day that was almost 70 pages, but after taking this course I was able to understand how the page numbers were aligned. I also knew what the symbols meant and was able to find detail on page 72 right away. Before taking this class, I was overwhelmed and didn't know how to begin reading the drawings.”

“Over the last 25 years, I've worked in the fields of interior, lighting, web and graphic design. At some point I took a sabbatical to raise three kids. With the design industry constantly changing, I needed to find a way to get up to speed. VDCI was instrumental in getting me back into the workforce. I decided to go back to my interior design roots and looked into AutoCAD and BIM. Back in college, we drafted on vellum and fed them through blueprint machines. Within a matter of months, I learned how to produce the same types of construction documents with AutoCAD and Revit in a fraction of the time. From day one, the staff at VDCI guided me every step of the way. They offered both onsite night classes that worked with my schedule and the convenience of online classes. The online instructors corresponded promptly whenever I had any questions. Victoria Stover was my point of contact, and I can truly say I couldn't have made it work without her. She was accessible on a daily basis and worked around my schedule regarding planning courses and certification exams. She is gold. I am now working for an architect firm doing design development, construction documents and rendering. Revit is a robust program, and I’m learning new functionality on a daily basis. I took both certification courses in AutoCAD and Revit. If anyone is interested in working in the design industry, VDCI will give you the foundation you need to relaunch your career.”

“It helps me two ways currently. My resume with this badge gives me more opportunities. This is because I already appear professional. Second, as part of my services I get income for my designs. In the future if needed I can draw for a few firms here as well.”

“I've really enjoyed my experience at VDCI and will definitely recommend them to anyone I know who wants to learn the programs. The teachers are very informative, they work in the real world of what they teach, and are attentive to their students. The admin staff has also been great and are still super helpful even after I've completed the program.”

“I changed from taking a few courses to deciding to complete the entire BIM course halfway through. The staff was very helpful helping me with all the paperwork and transcript requests needed to make this happen. I took this program to learn BIM for projects that require it contractually, where AutoCAD is not allowed, and to stay current in the industry. This course was just what I needed to bridge the gap between trying to teach myself and being given a solid path to follow. I learned more in 9 months than I did nearly 10 years casually trying to pick this up on my own. It was not easy, but it shouldn't be. Very happy with the results!”
