BuildStrong Academy of Colorado - Denver, Colorado

Andy F.

Build Strong Academy has taught more than I can be grateful for, from understanding a tape measure like the back of my hand to being able to frame walls and put a small house together we are able to learn it all.

My instructor Is/Was Ricardo and man let me tell you he is someone that is worth learning from. He truly cares about you as a student and your success within the program to be confident in what you are taught. Also he knows so much man it blows your mind everyday the knowledge he drops.

Theirs a lot of great instructors as I got to talk and meet them all and they are nothing less but equal.

and the office staff oh man they are there for you like you don't know if you ask they will try to give.

So make sure to sign up

I dig this place. Good mix of classroom and lab work where you can get your hands on the tools of the trade. The instructors are knowledgeable and thorough. The best part about it is the tuition is FREE. I'd recommend attending an info session to visit the space and learn more. I feel like my time was well spent here. Safety is paramount. They'll cover the cost of your OSHA10 while you're enrolled.

I was with one of the first Boot Camp Groups to go through the program during the first part of the Pandemic. It was awesome to have some online support and to follow-up with in class "practical" instruction. Our instructors were 100% dedicated to our learning and success. Mark really went out of his way to give as much practical advice to launching a career/business in the construction/real-estate development arena.

This school is excellent. I am currently in the construction boot camp class which is an 8 week course to teach you basics in construction and help you find a job. Eric White is a great teacher who is very thorough. I have really bad ADD but he manages to keep my attention. I really like his class, he is very funny without even trying. I have learned so much. This school works very hard with students individually to help everyone find placemt in the right career. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to start a career in the construction field.

Great program and well-informed instructor. Provides the necessary knowledge to understand and perform basic construction skills.

Completed their Bootcamp course and had a great time. CHA programs are tailored more towards people who want to get into a construction career however I had a blast learning and clarifying construction concepts as an enthusiast.

I found CHA while looking for a course on remodeling and renovations since I enjoy home improvement projects but needed more guidance than what Home Depot or YouTube could teach me. Why are there five different types of hammers? How do I use that intimidating saw I see on home improvement shows? Well, you'll learn why/how if you take this course. It's also a great knowledge gap filler if you've ever wanted to fix your own stuff at home but don't know what each tool is called or used for.

The instructors are knowledgeable, affable, time-seasoned veterans who enjoy imparting their life skills and construction knowledge. You'll meet some great people in class and there is definitely a sense of comradery after spending so much time together that was sorely missing after a year of pandemic quarantine. Having worked in healthcare and dealing with affected personalities and competitive individuals, meeting honest down-to-earth nice people was rejuvenating. Hell, teachers and classmates would bring coffee and bake things for the class. There's something to be said seeing burly men bring brownies or cookies to share.

Highly recommend for anyone who has the time and desire. They operate more like a non-profit so trust they will be there if you need to fallback on them for additional help now or in the future. They have a large network of potential employers should you need or want to get started working in construction.

If you're straight out of high school and want to invest into a vocational trade this is perfect for you. You'll be able to make as much as a nurse a few years into a trade if not more, especially vocations like electricity or plumbing. FYI Germany offers all their high school graduates vocational training if they don't pursue university.

Enjoy the course and learn how to build a small shed for literally 1/3 the price of hiring someone. If you're a newbie home improvement DIYer this is for you or even if you simply want more exposure to the construction field and filling in certain knowledge gaps.

I have taken almost every class they have offered and take away a great deal of information every class. They offer a great variety of classes and their instructors are really great (you really luck out if you get mark or Eric Garvey) I highly suggest taking any or all of their classes if you are interested in going down the construction career path.
