Program Overview

A 10-month online program that takes you from BIM modelling to managing BIM on real projects. You’ll model architecture, structure and MEP in Revit, coordinate and simulate in Navisworks and BIM 360, plan projects in Primavera P6 and BEXEL Manager, automate with Dynamo, build dashboards in Power BI, and manage project information to ISO 19650 in a Common Data Environment.
