Digital School is leading the way in ensuring our graduates are well versed in
Building Information Modeling (BIM), which brings disciplines together to communicate needs and changes to each other as seamlessly as possible, making every project run more efficiently and cost-effective.
BIM Technicians work directly with designers, project managers and engineers to translate a concept into technical drawings that construction workers can build into a reality. Your career in design will support the entire building lifecycle including the concept/design, construction and operations/maintenance phases.
The BIM Technician certificate is available in three delivery methods:
- Full-time in-class program (6 months)
- Full-time online program (6 months)
- Part-time online program (12 months)
