NEW – TCIC Moodle e-Learning
Blueprint Reading Fundamentals for Construction
This online learning course was developed by the Toronto Construction Association (TCA)/The Construction Institute of Canada (TCIC) for the construction industry.

In this course, you will learn the functions of different plan views, elevations, sections, details and schedules presented on Architectural, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) drawings as well as dimensions, basic design concepts, specifications and key terminology relevant to interpreting graphical and written construction information. The knowledge you gain will help you confidently interpret construction drawings to ensure an accurate and efficient completion of your projects.

You will not be able to work ahead of the schedule and you will need to spend a minimum of 3 hours per week on each module. The course examination (2 hours) must be taken in Week 7. Actual dates that modules will become available will be posted in advance on the course web page.
