BIM Certification Course Online (Self-Paced)

via CourseHorse

Overview

Build a strong foundation in BIM at your own pace with this five-course Revit Architecture certification series. You’ll work through BIM fundamentals and intermediate concepts while creating 3D architectural models that automatically generate 2D drawings such as floor plans and elevations for construction projects. The self-paced format lets you develop professional Revit workflows on your schedule while preparing for the Autodesk Certification Exam in Revit.

Throughout the series, you’ll apply BIM modeling tools to create architectural models that include existing buildings, partial demolition, new construction, and site elements such as topography, hardscape, and landscaping imported from external files. You’ll prepare construction documents that incorporate site and building models, clearly show project phasing, produce plan, section, and elevation views for sheet layouts, and generate renderings suitable for both presentation and documentation.

By completing this course, you will have developed expertise in:

  • Apply BIM modeling tools to create an architectural model, including an existing building, partial demolition, and new construction

  • Prepare a set of architectural construction documents incorporating the site and building models

  • Build topography for a project using existing external files and develop a site plan, including hardscape and landscaping

  • Graphically differentiate phasing of a project from existing construction through new construction

  • Produce plan, section, and elevation views of the project for sheet layout

  • Produce renderings suitable for presentation and documentation
