Our Reviews
I am excited to go to work as I feel ready to be in construction industry.
All the instruction included indept knowledge both in virtual and practical classes along with professional experience.
I will recommend York Construction Academy if anybody wants to persu their career in Constructionbussiness.
Virtual: Nardo is very patient and always provides a great deal of knowledge from his experiences. You learn each of the stages of building a home, and learn some background about condos.
Practical: B and Milan are an absolute blast to learn from. They try to create the environment of you working on a job site so you are job ready when you graduate. They help you with better techniques and provide you with insight on how to use material best/efficiently.
My only advice would be to give your best in both the virtual and practical because you get what you put in. The instructors are a great resource but ultimately comes down to you if you want to learn the right way!
