Course Description: This is a hands-on introduction to STRUCTURAL Blueprint reading.

Understanding how to read a set of construction documents is of primary importance to anyone working on the construction industry. There are volumes of construction-specific information provided in a set of construction documents. Sometimes the information is confusing and conflicted.

When people are working in the field, it is imperative that they understand what is constructed where, and what must be phased when. This course explains those processes and procedures.

Students will be able to make the connections and references between multiple documents contained in a set of blueprint drawings and will be qualified to enroll in the AutoCAD courses.
