ALLPLAN, Revit and BIM Modeler Revit

The course covers 2D and 3D design as well as visualization in ALLPLAN and also explains how to use Revit. You will work with 3D architectural components and will be able to generate drawings and plans based on the 3D building model, as well as calculate areas. Finally, the course introduces you to BIM and CDE by demonstrating their applications and key functions. You’ll also gain a basic understanding of how to use Solibri, Dalux, and the BIM software Revit. The course covers structured management and the exchange of information, as well as coordination and classification.

Changes are possible, the course content is updated regularly.

Once you have completed this course, you will be able to use ALLPLAN quickly and confidently.

You will also be proficient in using the parametric architecture solution Revit Architecture. This program supports 2D design and 3D modeling through to the component-oriented building model with quantity and cost calculation.

After this course, you will also have extensive knowledge in the creation and maintenance of BIM building models. You will also know how to exchange data within BIM projects.

The course is aimed at people with a degree in architecture and engineering, technicians, draughtsmen and technical draughtsmen as well as specialists from related industries with appropriate professional experience.

The ALLPLAN software (formerly: Nemetschek) is the market leader in the field of architecture and is used in architecture and engineering offices of all sizes.

BIM modelers with knowledge of Revit are in high demand in planning projects and are sought after in construction and real estate companies as well as design offices of all sizes.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.

 

Virtual classroom alfaview®

Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.

 

The courses at alfatraining are funded by Agentur für Arbeit and are certified in accordance with the AZAV approval regulation. When submitting a Bildungsgutscheinor Aktivierungs- und Vermittlungsgutschein, the entire course costs are usually covered by your funding body.
Funding is also possible via Europäischen Sozialfonds (ESF), Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) or regional funding programs. As a regular soldier, you have the option of attending further training courses via Berufsförderungsdienst (BFD). Companies can also have their employees qualified via funding from Agentur für Arbeit (Qualifizierungschancengesetz).
