The course begins by introducing you to BIM and CDE, highlighting their 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 information management and exchange, as well as coordination and classification. Furthermore, you’ll gain knowledge of cost estimation according to DIN standards, the new HOAI, and the AVA (Tendering, Awarding, and Billing) using the Orca and SIRADOS programs. You’ll also learn how artificial intelligence (AI) is used in your professional field.

Changes are possible, the course content is updated regularly.
After this course, you will have extensive knowledge in the creation and maintenance of BIM building models. You will also know how to exchange data within BIM projects.
After this course, you will also have an overview of the cost statements along the service phases (1-9) and have knowledge of cost determination according to DIN 276, the current HOAI and software-supported AVA (tendering, awarding and invoicing) of construction services with the programs Orca and SIRADOS.
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.
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.
Additional knowledge of cost calculation, HOAI and AVA is essential in all phases of a project and increases your chances on the job market.
Your meaningful certificate provides a detailed insight into the qualifications you have acquired and improves your career prospects.
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).
