Certificate in BIM & Revit Essentials

• Programme overview

  This 10-week QQI Level 6 certified course will provide learners with a solid introduction to Building Information Modelling using Autodesk Revit. It provides learners with a solid grounding in Building Information Modelling (BIM) using Autodesk’s Revit. Participants use Revit to learn about building information modelling and the tools for parametric building design and documentation.

  This course offers metric hands-on exercises representing real-world design scenarios. The attendees learn the concepts of BIM through the modelling of a basic building, from creating the building to making a window/door and a room schedule, and looking at shadow studies and rendering.

• Learning outcomes

  By the end of this programme participants will know:

  • BIM versus CAD
  • Revit Architectural and Structural interface
  • Starting new projects and file management
  • Using families (walls, doors, windows, floors, ceilings, roofs and components)
  • Annotation
  • Generating levels, columns, grids, stairs, and railings
  • Creating sections, call-outs, schedules, and construction document sets
• Who is the course for

  This course is ideally suited to Architects, Architectural Technologists, Interior Designers and Engineers who want to learn about building information modelling, working in 3D & using design visualisation.

• What is involved

  Participants will learn how to create and develop a basic building model, produce design documentation, create windows, doors and room schedules, and explore rendering and shadow studies.

  The course focuses on developing practical 3D modelling and design visualisation skills while introducing the core concepts and workflows used in modern BIM environments.

  One class of two and half hours per week for 10 weeks (6.30-9.00pm Wednesdays).
