Overview

Building information modelling (BIM) is transforming construction. With change comes many opportunities. But where should you start?

Our BIM Awareness (Level 2) course comprises two easy to follow online modules that will kickstart your BIM journey. It provides an essential overview of BIM terminology demystifying this area with a practical, expert-led approach.

This course provides you with an understanding of the developments that have led to BIM Level 2, as well as providing the context needed to understand why specific elements are included or excluded from this process and the UK government’s mandate.
