107 CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND PROCESSES
"I’ve been in the field for 11 years and have been around almost everything that we covered in class and found it so fascinating to read something in class and have it click because I’ve seen it and just didn’t know the exact purpose or reasoning behind it. I recently transitioned to the office a little over a month ago as an estimator. This was the final class for me to complete and get the construction estimator certification! I enjoyed all 6 classes and it has helped me so much with my move to office and it’s nice to have a basic comprehension and understanding of everything that I can apply to estimating and not be at ground zero, lost and confused. I felt so confident in times that while doing estimates and saying to myself “oh I remember this from class” or able to estimate specific task and learning from class roughly how long it’ll take by understanding what exactly it takes to finish said task."
105 ESTIMATING AND BIDDING 1 “I enjoyed taking this class. After this week I will have completed 5 of the 6 courses required for the certification. Prior to taking my first class last winter, I had next to no blueprint reading experience. After taking 5 courses through this program, I am 100% confident at print reading and quantifying take offs for work related to my trade. I have successfully landed jobs that we would never have been able to land 2 years ago. These courses have already paid for themselves."
201 LEADERSHIP AND MOTIVATION “ The course had a positive impact on my understanding of my role at work. Most importantly, I consider it now to practice more based on the knowledge learnt. It is absolutely clear that being an effective leader is a long way and a lot of work on yourself, your mistakes and tries. I liked the format of this course, it was interesting to read the opinions of my classmates. We are from different different countries, different ages, different experiences and backgrounds. I am going to complete all eight courses in order to get the certification."
