In this course, you will acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to coordinate BIM projects by using the BIM execution plan and the BIM handbook to define the tasks and responsibilities of project participants, facilitate data exchange, and ensure and document the quality of information and processes. The course then introduces you to BIM and CDE by demonstrating their practical applications and key features. You’ll also gain a basic understanding of how to use Solibri, Dalux, and the BIM software Revit. The course covers structured management and exchange of information, as well as coordination and classification.

Presentation of the project results
Changes are possible, the course content is updated regularly.
After completing the course, you will be able to plan and implement BIM coordination processes, define and align the tasks and responsibilities of project participants, and ensure model-based data exchange. You will be able to verify the quality of information, models, and processes using rule-based procedures, evaluate results from a technical perspective, and document coordination processes in a traceable manner.
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 civil engineering, draughtsmen, construction technicians and specialists from related sectors with appropriate professional training and experience.
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).
