Building Information Modelling - BIM with Revit - Kerry
This 10-credit special purpose award is designed to act as a foundation for BIM adoption by those employed in the built environment related professions. Participants will be given the skills needed to create and engage with building information models and digital building data. The collaborative nature of the course will support the engagement of those operating in the fields of building design (architecture, civil and structural engineering, mechanical and electrical services, quantity surveying), building construction, related product manufacturing and facilities management.

Duration
1 Semester - This programme will be delivered online part-time September 2023 to December 2023.
Entry Requirements
Applicants must hold an NFQ level 6 qualification in construction studies or related discipline OR a minimum of 2 years’ experience in construction project-related work such as drawing production, measurement or similar activity (CAD experience would be beneficial but is not a prerequisite for this course). The University’s policy in relation to recognition of prior learning (RPL) also applies.
What is RPL?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
Careers / Further progression
Progression Opportunities
On successful completion of the programme students will have gained 10 credits at NFQ level 6 which may contribute to the achievement of other academic awards.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is fast becoming the global industry standard for designing, procuring, constructing and managing buildings and infrastructure projects. The digitisation of building components and performance data, coupled with the use of collaborative tools and internationally agreed standards, have been associated with reduced costs and improved outcomes on projects worldwide.
This 10-credit special purpose award is designed to act as a foundation for BIM adoption by those employed in the built environment related professions. Participants will be given the skills needed to create and engage with building information models and digital building data. The collaborative nature of the course will support the engagement of those operating in the fields of building design (architecture, civil and structural engineering, mechanical and electrical services, quantity surveying), building construction, related product manufacturing and facilities management.
The course will focus on the use of Autodesk Revit to generate model data and will take advantage of associated software packages and platforms to co-ordinate multiple disciplines in a common data environment (CDE). Practical activities are supplemented by live and recorded lectures, allowing participants to grow their understanding of BIM practice.
The content of the course is offered entirely online, further supporting the participant’s development in the use of collaborative tools. On completion, the successful candidate will be capable of generating BIM content and of participating in critical BIM processes using internationally agreed structures and procedures.
Module
Building Information Modelling (BIM) with Revit
What is a Module?
A module is a standalone unit of learning and assessment and is completed within one semester. A full-time student will normally study six modules in each semester; part-time and ACCS (Accumulation of Credits and Certification of Subjects) students will have flexibility as to the number of modules taken.
Award Type: Special Purpose Award.
