Certificate BIM Introduction
Course Description
This course introduces BIM (Building Information Management) as a process to create coordinated digital design information and technical documentation for interior design and spatial projects.
Our Introductory BIM course will introduce you to the latest industry software relevant to BIM and how to create BIM-compliant drawings.
Please be aware that although this course is open to everyone, it does not focus on Revit MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing).
Certificate BIM Introduction will guide you through a design from inception to final creation while following BIM (Building Information Management) protocol and standards. You will learn how to work in a collaborative space and interchange between interconnected software and file types. You are expected to have a basic knowledge of computers.

Course Content
To win work, practitioners must up-skill their existing workforce. Our Certificate in BIM course offers a Level 2 BIM, which is now industry-standard in Ireland. This standard requires design teams and contractor teams to collaborate efficiently. To achieve this, all team members must comply with the British Standard BS1192:2007 – Collaborative Production of Architectural, Engineering and Construction Information.
The course delivers this skill set, starting at the very beginning. This is a fast-moving course, so applicants should already have some familiarity with drafting software such as Revit or AutoCAD.
Please be aware that although this course is open to everyone, it does not focus on Revit MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing). Participants are expected to have a basic knowledge of computers.

We cover the process of how to work as a team member in an office environment sharing 1 Revit model between multiple staff members. The do’s and the do nots.
Course was excellent. Very well taught. Notes were easy to follow. Pace of class was very good and easy to keep up with. I would recommend to anyone in the future.
