STUDENT REVIEWS
"The most useful thing for me was to learn how to use excel rather than a notepad and a calculator. I've used some of the spreadsheets and scored a job using the methods I learned in the class. For me everything was useful learning tools."
“I feel like each week I learned a little more about formatting my estimate. I believe this benefited me the most."
“The most useful thing for me was learning how to read a sample site plan and how to calculate concrete. I feel that those 2 are very important in the starting phase of any building."
