Introduction
BIM was identified as one of the key technology drivers by Building Control Authority (BCA])to improve productivity and level of integration across the various disciplines in the construction value chain. The School of Architecture and Built Environment (ABE) is pleased to introduce our new Specialist Diploma in Building Information Modelling Management (BIMM) to align to BCA’s mandate. This course is offered to participants who are keen to further their education in Building Information Modelling (BIM) knowledge as part of the journey in being a life-long learner. This course will equip participants with ability to facilitate or reinforce organisation’s BIM capabilities and deliver Building Projects using BIM platforms.
This course offers to Work-Study Programmes (WSP) participants and non-WSP participants.
This is a part-time evening course and it can be completed in a duration of one year.
Participants are required to bring computer Notebook when attending lessons, as you may need it to access the e-learning materials, writing reports, etc.
Course Objectives
The Specialist Diploma in Building Information Modelling Management is designed to boost the level of expertise in Singapore and to deepen the skills and knowledge of participants of the WSP in BIM Management. This is achieved through institutional-based learning at SP and augmented by on-the-job training with participating employers in the building and construction industry.
