The Certificate in BIM Management is designed for professionals working across the built environment sector who wish to develop expertise in Building Information Modelling (BIM), digital construction and project management.
As BIM becomes increasingly embedded within construction procurement and project delivery, organisations require professionals who can manage information effectively throughout the lifecycle of a project. This programme develops the knowledge and skills required to implement and manage BIM processes, support multidisciplinary collaboration, and contribute to the delivery of digitally enabled construction projects.
Delivered online over 12 weeks, the programme is suitable for professionals working in construction, engineering, architecture, surveying, facilities management and related disciplines who wish to strengthen their technical and management capabilities in this rapidly evolving area.
