Advanced Diploma of
Building Information Modelling (BIM)

February and July

Part time: 15 months (online Monday to Thursday 5:00 - 7:00pm for each unit of competency enrolled and classroom sessions on one Saturday per month at Elgar Campus (optional))

For information regarding dates such as enrolment, orientation and study breaks please visit the Academic Calendars page. 

This is a blended delivery course which will include a combination of online, remote and face to face delivery. Blended learning can involve a range of online programs and resources including StudentWeb, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, Skype, specific industry platforms, pre-recorded sessions, assigned reading, tutorials, discussion boards, and online activities. Blended learning also involves face-to-face attendance at classes or practical placements.

On completion you will have the skills and knowledge to:

• manage BIM workflow processes, including coordination, integration, commissioning and handover
• manage project cost control processes, planning and analysis of data for the life cycle of the construction
• plan for effective coordination of complex projects, estimate number and selection of plant & equipment, including structural elements and materials across the whole construction supply chain
• develop and establish effective integrated project delivery techniques to aid collaboration, communication and workflows using BIM
• manage environmental sustainable design in BIM projects
• manage the application of BIM digital fabrication

You will be best equipped for this course if you have language, literacy and numeracy skills that are equivalent to level 3 of the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF).

People wishing to enter this qualification will typically be building practitioners and paraprofessionals with project management and/or information technology skills. These learners are seeking to gain sufficient knowledge and skills in working with Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies to construct buildings using modern building methods. 

PRE-TRAINING REVIEW

To assist prospective students to determine whether a course is suitable and appropriate for the individual needs, Box Hill Institute will assess all students’ language, literacy and numeracy and digital literacy by asking you to undertake a self-assessment review prior to the enrolment.

A course advisor will discuss the outcomes of the review and make recommendations about whether the course is suitable for you, and identify additional support where required.
