The learning objectives of a BIM course are not standardized and can therefore differ from provider to provider. As a rule, however, training courses in this area aim to provide participants with a basic understanding of Building Information Modeling. The principles, concepts and significance of digital working methods are also discussed here.

Finally, course participants should be able to explain and apply BIM. The requirements for this can also vary.

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.
