Certification Course in BIM Modelling for Design and Construction
Stanza BIM Academy is a comprehensive, experience-driven learning program designed for professionals in architecture, engineering, and construction who are ready to upskill and lead in the digital age of project delivery. Learn from top BIM adopters with a proven track record of successfully implementing BIM across projects in Singapore and Canada.
This program offers flexible, fully online modules that equip learners with practical BIM workflows, collaborative strategies, and lifecycle management approaches across 2D to 6D BIM.
Whether you are a young professional building your foundation or a seasoned practitioner transitioning into digital workflows, our training empowers you with the tools, standards, and mindset to thrive in a BIM-first environment.
This course is structured into 12 sequential courses (modules), totaling 240 hours (approximately 12 weeks). Each course includes guided lessons, hands-on modelling tasks, and project-based assessments.
Learners will go through each course sequentially, with dedicated time blocks that allow for hands-on learning, project-based assessments, and real-world applications.
