Every day, more contractors are taking advantage of the BIM Education Program, a four-course curriculum that addresses technology, contract negation, process and adoption issues, at AGC Chapters so they’re not left behind.
The series delivers cutting-edge training to contractors that are starting their BIM journey and want to learn best practices from industry leaders and early-adopters. The four courses in the BIM Education Program are:
• Unit 1: BIM 101—An Introduction to Building Information Modeling (available now)
• Unit 2: BIM Technology (available now)
• Unit 3: BIM Contract Negotiation and Risk Allocation (available November 2010)
• Unit 4: BIM Process, Adoption, and Integration (available December 2010)
The new AGC BIM credential, the Certificate in Management—Building Information Modeling (CM-BIM) is the construction industry’s first and only BIM Certificate Program that teaches the practical application of the BIM process. Participants in the required four courses are able to apply to take the CM-BIM assessment. Individuals who successfully pass the exam will achieve the credential. The CM-BIM will be first available in the spring of 2011. Updates regarding release and availability will be posted as they become available.
AGC Chapter course dates and locations are updated regularly, and can be found on the BIM Education Program Calendar. Upcoming courses scheduled in November include:
• AGC of California
