TRAINING
“Digitalisation does not happen
overnight. It’s a journey that takes time.”
in order to help kick start the economy, we take full benefit from the emerging low carbon economy, stimulate demand for sustainable energy skills in the construction sector and fully take up the opportunities that digitalisation presents. All of the training tools, mechanisms and channels developed must be future proofed in design, content, delivery and accreditation to allow this to happen. THE JOURNEY BIMcert is a project based upon three steps aimed at developing and delivering a large- scale training and qualification scheme that can provide the requisite skills for the entire construction supply chain to: 1. Enable collaborative working while improving access and the transition to digital design, development, management and delivery tools for both new build and renovation. This will help achieve energy efficient near zero buildings (embedded energy).
2. Achieve efficient and effective on- going management of the building in terms of energy and fabric (operational energy). 3. Utilise Building Information Modelling (and more widely, digital construction) as the enabling methodology and tool towards more sustainable and energy efficient building assets.

BIM MODULES BIMcert project has developed a comprehensive multi-discipline
curriculum for the AEC industry sector that addresses both the challenges and the need of driving the industry towards more energy efficiency and digitalisation. The curriculum is formed by a set of on demand units divided into several strides to allow a build-up of skills. Those units are delivered via bite-sized modules, which, when combined, form flexible training plans.
