Program Description
Leadership Claims
Ontario’s first graduate certificate in Building Information Modeling.
95 per cent of graduates gain full-time employment in the construction sector.
Program Overview
This one-year program is eligible for a $20,000 scholarship.*
The Building Information Modeling Management one-year graduate certificate program provides hands-on training, teaching you to apply the principles of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to all aspects of a project, from conceptualization to operation. When you graduate, you’ll be able to deploy BIM applications in any organization involved in the procurement, design, construction and operation of building facilities. You’ll also be able to use BIM technologies and management processes in all phases of a construction project.
*Domestic students only – see page for details.
Full Description
As a graduate of our Building Information Modeling Management one-year graduate certificate program, you’ll have the knowledge to use BIM tools and implement BIM Management processes in any organization involved in the procurement, design, construction and operation of buildings.
Key features of the program:
- Access to our advanced BIM lab facilities.
- Learn practical skills in a work environment, as well as through online and short modules.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are typical companies that accept BIM students for field experience?
Companies include large, medium and small architectural, engineering, general contracting firms, subcontracting companies, government building departments, project developers, construction management firms, suppliers and building manufacturing firms.
- What professional credentials can I achieve through the T412 program?
Graduating students will have completed many of the educational prerequisites for certification through the Canada BIM Council.
- Is there a requirement for field experience in this program?
Yes. Students must complete 450 hours of field experience.
- Does the college guarantee a field experience for each student enrolled in the program?
George Brown Polytechnic assists students in securing a field experience position, but the college makes no guarantee. It is up to each student to do everything possible to secure an approved field placement, either through a position the college advertises, or through their own independent job search. Securing a position within the industry is a competitive process and the employer makes the final decision.
- Is the student field experience compensated?
It is the expectation that students will be compensated for their field experience. Some field experience may be paid, unpaid, commission-based or given as an honorarium.
- Can my previous work experience in BIM be considered toward the mandatory field experience?
It is the expectation that the student will complete their field experience in the third semester. Please see the program co-ordinator for more information.
- What educational opportunities are available upon completion of this program?
Graduates of this program are required to apply to graduate schools themselves, as universities have unique admission requirements.
