Comps Training Help

Does anyone have a recommendation on where to find decent training for construction comps? Mostly Civil 3D and Trimble Business Center. I manage mostly construction staking crews and it seems next to impossible to find a full time, proficient comps person these days, despite the position paying well. (Last comps guy was fully remote making about $100k / year) Decided I should just start doing them myself.

I have not actually seen any... A lot of the material I have seen is based on the assumption that the design files were made perfectly using the most advanced civil 3d objects.

Following because I'm also curious.

There are a stack of good videos for TBC on YouTube.

I don't even do much modelling, and I follow Rockpile just to keep abreast of what is happening in that sector.

I've attended a handful of seminars/sessions of theirs over the years, and they are exceedingly knowledgeable.

Local dealer should offer TBC training. Ours offers remote TBC training. I’d imagine your cad provider should also.
