The core pillars of the Blueprint Academy

Every educational institution has its foundation, and at the Blueprint Academy, ours is built on four robust pillars. These pillars not only define our ethos but also guide our unique approach to learning, ensuring that every participant emerges as a well-rounded project controls expert.

  • Within the intricate world of project controls, the Blueprint Academy immerses students in real-world complexities, emphasising practical relevance and holistic understanding. Here, learning goes beyond theory, seamlessly integrating hands-on exercises to bridge knowledge with practical application.

  • At the Blueprint Academy, we champion the invaluable practice of peer-to-peer learning, fostering a dynamic knowledge exchange within an accessible and engaging environment. We provide round-the-clock support and resources and cultivate strong bonds to promote team spirit. Central to all of this is our culture of engagement, where we've interwoven elements of fun, ensuring that the learning journey is as enjoyable as it is enlightening.

  • The Blueprint Academy opens its doors wide to a diverse range of talent—from graduates starting out on their career journey through to seasoned professionals armed with a plethora of transferable skills. Our environment is one of inclusivity. We offer a unique 18-month programme featuring client-engaged rotations, where clients are more than observers—they actively contribute to the learning process, providing invaluable insights and training.

  • The Blueprint Academy stands tall as a beacon of innovation, forged with a singular aim—to bridge the prevailing skills gap in project controls. But we're not merely reacting to the challenge; we've positioned ourselves as pioneers, leading the charge with unwavering determination and vision.

Project Planning and Control Course Structure

At the Blueprint Academy, we believe in doing things differently, just as our founder Simon Kirkbride envisioned for Blueprint Project Solutions. Here's the essence of our approach, defined as the 'Blueprint Way of Learning':

  • ENGAGEMENT

    Just as active participation has been central to Blueprint's success, it remains paramount to effective learning. Being present, involved, and invested makes all the difference.

  • OWNERSHIP

    Your learning journey is uniquely yours. At the Blueprint Academy, you're in the driver's seat, navigating your path.

  • QUESTION & LEARN

    Embodying the curiosity that has fueled our growth, we encourage you to ask, seek, and discover. Every query brings clarity, and every answer adds a layer to your understanding.

  • MISTAKES ARE WELCOME

    In line with the Blueprint values, we see errors not as setbacks but as opportunities for growth. It's through these experiences that we truly evolve.

  • FEEDBACK INTEGRATION

    Just as we've always valued honest communication, we believe in harnessing feedback for tangible improvement. It's not just about receiving; it's about integrating and evolving.

  • COLLABORATION

    The strength of Blueprint has always been its people and network. We urge you to tap into this rich vein, leveraging diverse perspectives and insights to enrich your learning.

For us, the 'Blueprint Way of Learning' is more than a methodology –
it's a commitment.
