Course Overview

ArchiCAD is the leading BIM (Building Information Modeling) software used by architects worldwide. Unlike traditional CAD, ArchiCAD creates intelligent 3D building models that contain real construction data. This 4-6 month course teaches you to design buildings entirely in BIM workflow.

You'll learn to model buildings, generate documentation, create renderings, and collaborate on BIM projects. ArchiCAD skills are highly valued in architectural firms.
