A Nationally Accredited Educational Institution
Develop the necessary skills and technical knowledge applied in Revit Architecture, the industry-standard software program used to create 3D models of commercial building projects.
During the BIM Certificate Program, you’ll learn how to create a 3D model of a moderately complex commercial project and create the construction documents directly from the BIM model. You can specialize in AutoCAD Fundamentals, Revit MEP, Revit Structure, or other training paths listed in the VDCI Catalog. All courses are taught by practicing professionals and focus on a real-world, project-based approach.
All VDCI nationally accredited Certificate Programs are accelerated, condensing material into shorter, comprehensive programs. This means you’ll be able to earn a credential and enter the workforce fully trained in a fraction of the time of traditional degrees.

Your Certificate Program training path will consist of required courses and electives. Our training paths are designed to provide a comprehensive education to help you hit the ground running as soon as you enter the workforce.
Start at the beginning and learn how information is inter-related throughout the Revit (BIM) model. You will design 3D building models that simultaneously document the project in schedules and in 2D construction documents.
Learn more advanced methods to document a project. Topics include scheduling building components, using the family editor to create 2D and 3D components, refining graphics, and create an abbreviated set of construction documents.
This online Revit course is the first of two Construction Document courses, using the Revit Architecture tools. You will model an existing single story commercial building (importing AutoCAD drawings as a base) and also create a site model. You will continue learning Revit when you create the model for a significant two-story expansion to that first building model. This project scenario is typical of projects currently being handled by AEC teams who use Revit in their offices.
You will create construction documents for the commercial building and site created in BIM 301. You will create the sheet drawings and will add keynotes, detail drawings and schedules.
It is important for professionals to have a clear understanding of the importance of graphic clarity between multi-scale detail drawings which are presented in a single construction document sheet. This class focuses on strengthening these skills and gives the class participants excellent practice in achieving these skills.
Learn many appropriate project management skills to collaborate with team members, streamline workflow, and manage a BIM Project to successfully meet the expectations of the project team.
