BIM: training, continuing education, further training, course

The duration of BIM course offers can vary from provider to provider. They usually last a few days (between one and three days). Please ask the course provider of your choice about the current course duration.

The learning objectives of a BIM (Building Information Modeling) course can be defined differently depending on the training provider. However, the focus is generally on the following skills:

• Basic understanding of BIM: teaching the key terms, principles and processes of Building Information Modeling.
• Digital working methods: Introduction to the digital planning, execution and management of construction projects.
• Application of BIM tools: Use of common software for modeling and coordination.
• Collaboration in digital processes: Understanding interdisciplinary collaboration based on shared data models.
• BIM in practice: insight into real projects, application examples and industry-specific standards.

A BIM course is designed to teach participants in a practical way how digital models make construction projects more efficient and transparent. The aim is to enable participants not only to understand BIM, but also to apply it in their day-to-day work.

As the content and focus of the BIM course can vary depending on the school, it is worth asking the respective provider directly about the specific learning objectives. You can forward your question directly to the desired school using the contact form.

The previous education and professional experience required for continuing education, further training in BIM can vary greatly.

As a rule, no special prior knowledge or practical experience of software is required. However, experience in the construction industry is often desirable.

It is best to contact the provider of your choice directly.

The content of a BIM education, continuing education, further training or training course depends on the requirements of the respective school or provider. As there is no uniform federal regulation, the focus varies depending on the course format. As a rule, however, most courses cover central topics of digital planning and construction.

Typical contents of BIM courses are

• BIM basics: terms, definitions and key concepts
• Functionality and principles of Building Information Modeling
• Differences and advantages compared to conventional CAD processes
• BIM throughout the entire life cycle of a building: from planning to management
• Handling digital building data: Inserting, editing, managing and exchanging
• Methods for evaluating and selecting projects with BIM potential

These topics provide a sound introduction to modern construction planning with digital tools. Depending on the focus of the course, legal aspects, collaboration processes, software knowledge or industry-specific applications can also be covered.

Since each school can design the content individually, it is advisable to ask the respective educational institution directly for the exact topics.
