Because the training course is a prerequisite for the exam, the exam fee is only available as part of the course package.
We list it separately for transparency - this fee goes entirely to buildingSMART.

This course starts at entry level BIM. BIM is more than just working in a digital environment. It is about ensuring we have the relevant knowledge and capabilities to achieve best practice and the continued drive to digitising the built environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a technical or coding background to take this course?

No. This course is built for BIM professionals, architects, engineers and construction data specialists - not developers. You won't be writing code. The focus is on understanding AI concepts, structured data, and practical workflows you can apply directly to your projects.

Is this course tied to any specific software?

No. The course is fully vendor-neutral and openBIM/IFC-first throughout. Tools are mentioned only as examples of a category, never as endorsements, so what you learn stays relevant regardless of which software your company uses.

How long does the course take, and can I go at my own pace?

The course is self-paced with 12 months of access from enrollment. You can move through the four modules and the bonus toolkit whenever suits your schedule - there's no fixed start date or deadline pressure.

Do I get a certificate at the end?

Yes. Upon successful completion of the course and the final assessment (20 questions), you'll receive a certificate confirming your AI in Construction training - a concrete credential you can add to your professional profile.

I already use AI tools at work - will this course still be useful to me?

If you're already experimenting with AI, this course helps you go from ad-hoc use to a structured approach - understanding *why* data quality determines AI value, seeing documented real-project use cases, and walking away with a 90-day action plan rather than just more tool tips.

What's the difference between this course and the Bundle?

This course on its own covers AI, structured data, and Digital Product Passport readiness. The Bundle pairs it with BIM Foundations, a self-paced introduction to openBIM and ISO 19650 - useful if you want the fundamentals and the AI layer together, at a reduced combined price (€360 instead of €448).

Can I get a refund?

Our courses are digital with instant access, so - like all major online-learning platforms - the EU 14-day withdrawal right ends the moment you start learning (you confirm this at checkout; see our Terms, §14).
That's exactly why we've removed the risk before you pay: the opening lessons are free to preview, your access lasts a full 12 months with exam sessions every month, and if you pick the wrong course we'll credit your payment toward the right one within 14 days. And if we ever fail to deliver your access, §13.4 of our Terms guarantees you a full refund within 14 days.
