The reading of construction blueprints is a foundation skill in construction. All construction professionals, regardless of trade or whether they are working in the field or in the office, must know how to read blueprints.
This fundamental skill set is used during all aspects of a job, from bidding a job, to planning the completion of a task at the foreman level, or even making simple references in regards to circuit loading at the apprentice level.
The ability to read a print is going to enable the worker to complete a job or task, with the necessary accuracy that is required based on a bided contract. If done incorrectly, there could be serious financial or safety implications.
This course will take the participants through the stages of blue print reading including understanding symbols, dimensions, elevations, different drawings, understanding job specifications, interpreting information of different schedules that are included in a print package.
This course will enable the participants to walk through a real set of commercial blue prints for a mid-size job. The second part of the course will focus on various group work/ case studies that are designed to dissect aspects of a certain task, this will assist the learner in breaking down the information presented on a print, for ease of understanding.
Course topics
- Blue print reading basics, understanding the symbols, notations, abbreviations and schedules
- Finding information using blueprints
- Layout basics
- Architectural, civil, electrical and mechanical drawings and how they fit together.
- Using scales properly

It is well recognized that the majority of problems for a leader usually do not stem from their lack of technical skills and experience as electricians. Most IBEW foremen are very competent journeymen who possess excellent skills when it comes to process and managing a project. The simple reality is that the majority of problems for foreman stem from their lack of “soft skills”, that is, their ability to deal with conflict, hold their crew members accountable, earn respect, build trust, team build, coach, communicate effectively and when necessary how to change the behaviour of specific crew members when there is a performance issue.
- The Gold Seal Accredited Frontline Foremen Level 1 Leadership training course is specifically designed for foremen who want to develop their leadership soft skills as they know full well that this is where the majority of issues like safety concerns, conflict, ongoing grievances, poor productivity, cost overruns, time issues and stress can originate from. The two days are highly interactive with plenty of opportunities for IBEW participants to use “real work situations” that they are currently experiencing to help reinforce key learnings.
The Front Line Leadership level 1 is designed to create a solid foundation for all members of IBEW local 993 to operate effectively as a team on the job and how to properly engage the IBEW Steward if required.

Frontline Foremen Level 1 Leadership Training
Offered by New Quest Coaching & Consulting
One of the most of important factors in ensuring the success of a company, a project and a commitment to excellence and safety is having highly skilled leaders. With the growing demand by a variety of industries for skilled journeymen who also have Foremen leadership training, New Quest Coaching & Consulting will now be offering for the first time its extremely popular Frontline Foremen Level One leadership training online over a day period.
Condensed down into a five to six hour training session that will be done online via Go To Meetings, the course will give participants an excellent foundation in some of the fundamental leadership skills required to successfully lead teams and crews who today are made up of a very diverse group i.e. experience, skills, four distinct age/generations, gender and a variety of diverse ethnic backgrounds.
The simple reality is that the majority of challenges for foreman stem from their lack of “soft skills”, that is, their ability to deal with conflict, hold their crew members accountable, earn respect, build trust, team build, coach, communicate effectively and when necessary how to change the behaviour of specific crew members when there is a performance issue.
Some of the biggest problems on the jobsite do not come from a foreman’s lack of technical skills. Instead the problems stem from the foreman’s lack of leadership soft skills and the irony is, it is the one area where they have received the least amount of training!
Course Outline (5 – 6 hours) – This Gold Seal Accredited (Canadian Construction Association) Level One Online Foremen Training course is specifically designed for foremen who want to develop their leadership soft skills as they know full well that this is where the majority of issues like safety concerns, conflict, ongoing grievances, poor productivity, cost overruns, time issues and stress can originate from.
Now for the first time, this extremely popular leadership training course will be offered online to IBEW Lu 993 members, giving them the flexibility to do the training from their home!!

- It is well recognized that the majority of problems for a leader usually do not stem from their lack of technical skills and experience as electricians. Most IBEW foremen are very competent journeymen who possess excellent skills when it comes to process and managing a project. The simple reality is that the majority of problems for foreman stem from their lack of “soft skills”, that is, their ability to deal with conflict, hold their crew members accountable, earn respect, build trust, team build, coach, communicate effectively and when necessary how to change the behaviour of specific crew members when there is a performance issue.
- The Gold Seal Accredited Frontline Foremen Level 1 Leadership training course is specifically designed for foremen who want to develop their leadership soft skills as they know full well that this is where the majority of issues like safety concerns, conflict, ongoing grievances, poor productivity, cost overruns, time issues and stress can originate from. The two days are highly interactive with plenty of opportunities for IBEW participants to use “real work situations” that they are currently experiencing to help reinforce key learnings.

Front Line Leadership 1
- It is well recognized that the majority of problems for a leader usually do not stem from their lack of technical skills and experience as electricians. Most IBEW chargehands are very competent Red Seal Electricians who possess excellent skills when it comes to process and managing a project. The simple reality is that the majority of problems for supervisors stem from their lack of “soft skills”, that is, their ability to deal with conflict, hold their crew members accountable, earn respect, build trust, team build, coach, communicate effectively and when necessary how to change the behaviour of specific crew members when there is a performance issue.
- The Gold Seal Accredited Frontline Leadership Level 1 Leadership training course is specifically designed for IBEW chargehands who want to develop their leadership soft skills as they know full well that this is where the majority of issues like safety concerns, conflict, ongoing grievances, poor productivity, cost overruns, time issues and stress can originate from. The two days are highly interactive with plenty of opportunities for IBEW participants to use “real work situations” that they are currently experiencing to help reinforce key learnings.

Front Line Leadership 2
- The Level 2 Leadership training will combine the necessary soft skills required by IBEW chargehands as well as look at some of the more important technical processes and necessary administration skills that all IBEW chargehands to need to know to ensure a safe and productive worksite.
- Some of the key training topics will involve: Professionalism and the role of the Chargehand; IBEW Chain of Command; Progressive discipline: A valuable tool for ongoing success and safety in the workplace; Working with your Shop Steward to create a safe and productive workplace; Communicating for success, not for failure. The Level Two training will also pull in some of the great training tools and topics from the Level One training to further build on the leadership learning opportunities.
