Description: Blue Print Reading

Click here for a class schedule for this course.

The understanding of blueprints is a foundational skill in construction. All construction professionals, regardless of whether they are working in the field or in the office, must know how to inturpet blueprints. Blueprint reading is not difficult but it does require practice and some basic knowledge. A tradesperson should be able to take a blueprint and install or produce the work required without further instructions.

Our Blue Print Reading course is intended for participants with limited amount of print reading experience and those that want to build onto their current print reading skills. This course will focus on becoming familiar with numerous sets of blueprints and specifications for various commercial buildings. For each set of blueprints, the course participants will be challenged to search through the drawings to find answers to the various questions. Instructor lead lectures will cover topics such as benchmarks, specifications, and the relationship of blueprints to the Canadian Electrical Code.

 A maximum of 12 students can participate in this 16 hour course.
