Expert Certificate in BIM
The growth of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is gaining momentum mainly because, as an object-oriented tool, it paves the way for the creation of detailed, data-rich models that can be used for a variety of purposes, including design, construction, and maintenance. The certification courses offered under the Expert Certificate program in BIM introduces students to the technique of parametric modeling, in which changes to one part of the model automatically update all related components. BIM training can help students in knowing the ways of creating a 3D model of buildings or infrastructure projects. BIM courses equip students to automate generation of 2D drawings and streamline the design process, reduce errors and rework, thus saving time and effort.
The Expert Certificate program trains students in tapping the capabilities of popular BIM tools such as AutoCAD, Revit Architecture, and Civil 3D, to develop a comprehensive and integrated approach to design, construction, and maintenance of buildings and structures. The key areas of training offered in the Expert certificate programs are:
Design and Object-Oriented Modeling
Analysis and simulation of building performance, energy consumption
Analysis and simulation of lighting, acoustics, and thermal comfort
Lifecycle management - from design to construction
Due to industry shift towards digitalisation, the need for improved efficiency and cost savings, and increased complexity of building projects, BIM skills have become absolutely necessary. People trained and certified in BIM are required for creating and managing BIM models of buildings and infrastructure projects. Students and professionals who have an Expert level certification are hired to develop 3D models, to analyse and optimise designs, and collaborate with various stakeholders in the project, including architects, engineers, contractors, and suppliers. Some of the career prospects for students and professionals who have completed an Expert level certificate program in BIM include:
BIM Manager
BIM Coordinator
BIM Modeler
BIM Engineer
BIM Consultant
BIM Trainer
