One-on-One Web Training

Have an Orange Blade Consultants BCI (Bluebeam Certified Instructor) walk you through the entire program or focus only on those features which pertain to your work flow.  Or schedule classroom style training for a group to attend online.  This type of training session lends itself to "kick-off" sessions for new users of Bluebeam Revu.  What better way to introduce yourself and your users to the power of Bluebeam Revu?  These sessions tend to run from 60 to 120 minutes in length.

Bluebeam University

The Bluebeam University self-guided online training courses will give you an in-depth, comprehensive education of Bluebeam Revu, at a pace that fits your schedule. Unlike Bluebeam Certified Software Training with a live instructor, Bluebeam University is on-demand video-based instruction.

• Practice your new skills and test content retention with learning exercises and quick quizzes
• Send feedback using built-in messaging tools
• Start, stop and restart training as needed
• Track your progress with an easy-to-use dashboard that includes admin options for instructors who need to oversee an entire group of users.

Custom Onsite Bluebeam Training

The content of this training is typically workflow specific and doesn’t necessarily follow the methodic Bluebeam Certified Training (BCT) - Revu 2018: Basics outline shown above.

The training agenda for Custom Onsite Training is derived from a pre-training phone conference between Orange Blade Consultants’ Bluebeam Instructors to discuss specific needs of the client.  

Have us come to you and provide classroom style instructional with one of our Bluebeam Certified Trainers.  This style of training tends to be very effective for our clients.  Although web training is convenient for "Bit-Size" chunks of instruction, nothing compares to having your own living/breathing Bluebeam Revu Expert in the same room as you and your team. Onsite training allows for a more hands-on because it allows for a workshop or lab environment.  Why live and breath Bluebeam Revu for 90 minutes, when you can immerse your team in focused training for the entire day or week?  

Regularly Scheduled Web-training

These classes tend to be very specific in content and run 2-4 hours in length. Check for our current classes here.
