Our BIM education program is the first of its kind in Vietnam and ASEAN.
We recognize the need for greater efficiency in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction which resulted in a demand for qualified BIM professionals within this region. In order to meet those demands, TBFA | IVDC has created a series of BIM courses for the ASEAN professionals focusing at this time on Vietnam and its rapidly developing population and developments.
Currently, the TBFA | IVDC program has 4 Series (Open, University, Professional and Corporate) and each series has its required certificate courses.

For Vietnamese, according to the Ministry of Construction (MOC) which has launched in 2016 Vietnam's BIM Roadmap to begin implementation of BIM on the majority of projects in Vietnam by 2019. Therefore, the need to learn about the process of BIM is more important now than ever for those who want to be a part of the future of our industry.
These courses are created as a complement to industry experiences. along with supporting designers, engineers, managers and contractors to quickly apply BIM into their workflows. The primary purpose of these courses is to allow the participants upon completion to utilize BIM in their projects immediately.

With BIM, we often hear the three most important aspects of BIM are the 3C's; Communication, Collaboration, and Coordination. However, in order to achieve the success of these three points, students are required to learn the best way to participate, sharing and teamwork. This is one of the reasons why we refer to the students are participants.
What type of technology are involved?
The participants are required to have a college degree or higher and basic understanding of CAD or BIM software such as AutoCAD, Revit or ArchiCAD. In the course, 30% of the class will be dedicated to working on the computer utilizing at least 2 to 3 different BIM applications. If courses are taken at TBF Academy's locations, computers and the student license version of the software will be provided. The participants are not required to bring any computer equipment to class.
