You know how important acquiring new skills and qualifications are to your career development. No matter how much you learn, you feel that you still don’t know enough - enough to apply for your dream job, ask for a well-deserved raise, or to feel confident enough to suggest and implement changes.
You would like to continue learning and gaining new skills but cannot afford expensive courses or postgraduate studies. Or perhaps you have the finances, but don’t have the time. You already have a full-time job and can’t afford to take time off to study further.
The construction industry is rapidly advancing and you worry that you won’t keep up. New technology and software are released monthly, and there is a growing demand for specialists who are proficient in using them. The construction industry is moving forward, and BIM is at the heart of this advancement. You know you need to upskill to stay relevant, but don’t know where to start.
Are you tired of trying to piece information together from short webinars, articles or videos? Most of which don’t give a thorough answer to your question, or apply to your project? Do you need a structured, detailed training to guide you step-by-step through the process?
So many people have participated in the Become BIM Coordinator course. As a group, we support each other and share knowledge about BIM.
On average, this many people complete the BBC course and receive a certificate. The worldwide average for completing online courses is only 15%!

In this introductory module, you’ll learn both how the course is structured and how to get the most out of this extensive program.
Module 2 will give you a better understanding of BIM methodology and how the entire AEC industry benefits from implementing it.
Here, I focus on the various roles and responsibilities of a BIM Coordinator. This can vary depending on the company you work for and the type of projects you work on.
In Module 4, we consider what software tools a BIM Coordinator uses in different phases of a construction project. We’ll also choose a set of software that will be used further in the course.
After this module, you will know which file formats are commonly used in the industry. We will look both at proprietary as well as open BIM formats.
In Module 6, we get to work on our course project. You will receive the BIM requirements from a fictitious client. We will then discuss these requirements in detail, so you know what they mean for us as BIM Coordinators.
Good planning and strategy are key to effective BIM Coordination. In this module, you will learn about the components of such a strategy and plan coordination activities.
A BIM Coordinator has a lot to do at the start of a project. Setting up the folder structure, creating project templates, and managing model coordinates - I will show you how to do all these tasks effectively.
In this module, we will start our coordination process. First I’ll show you how to properly export IFC from Revit. This is essential for people who want to work with the openBIM methodology. Then we will use the exported IFC files to learn how to work with Solibri. By the end of this module, you’ll have all the knowledge you need to handle Solibri like a pro!
In Module 10, we dig deeper into the heart of the Solibri checking system and learn how to use rules. We will create several rulesets and rules that check model data and geometry in relation to BEP requirements from module 6.
Now that we have proper rules in place, we can run internal and multidisciplinary coordination. I will share my tips and tricks and teach you how to check models in the most effective way.
After this module, you will know how to successfully use the BIM Collaboration Format and BCF Connector to handle BIM coordination issues using the BIMCollab platform.
In this module, we will start working with coordination workflow number 2. This time I will teach you how to effectively use another model checking software - Navisworks.
We will now use Navisworks to run both internal and interdisciplinary model checks. I will show you the best ways to work with Clash Detective, Search Sets, and many other Navisworks tools.
Navisworks and BIM Track are best friends when it comes to managing coordination issues. After this module, you’ll know how to effectively handle issues using both programs.
In this module, we will focus on coordination meetings. What are they, how to run them effectively, and how to avoid making common mistakes.
In the final module, I will share advice about BIM Coordination. We’ll summarize the entire course and I’ll give a few suggestions about the next steps you can take on your journey to become a BIM Coordinator.
Yep! Anyone who successfully completes the course will receive a pdf certificate with their name on it, showing that they've completed the BBC Become BIM Coordinator course.
You’ll be able to exchange ideas with other course participants, and work to overcome challenges together.
After each module, I will test what you've learned. There are quizzes, practical assignments that will check your theoretical and practical knowledge. You know the saying - Only practice makes perfect.
I will organize four Q&A LIVE sessions where you can ask questions about the training and get valuable help. Sessions will be organized every 2 weeks. Dates will be presented during the start of the course.
Ready-to-use solutions for immediate implementation in the project....
...plus checklists, plans, presentations, templates, configuration files and more...
Each module is divided into a number of short lessons, making it easier to find time to cover the material.
While each module begins with a lesson that covers the basic theory, we then move on to applying what we’ve learned in practical ways. A great BIM coordinator doesn’t only have a head filled with knowledge, but is also able to apply what he’s learned to his daily tasks.
You’ll receive practical checklists and materials that are ready to be used for future BIM projects.
The quiz at the end of each module helps you assess which areas you’ve understood, and which you’ll still need to work on. This way you’ll be a well-rounded coordinator who has mastered all the necessary skills to do the job effectively.
There is no time limit on the course. Work through the lessons at your own pace and if there’s something you’d like to go over again, no problem! You can always go over the material again and make sure you understand it perfectly.
The sale for the 4th edition will take place in October 2024.

Hey, I’m Ignacy!
I am a BIM Coordination specialist, teacher, and long-time practitioner of the Building Information Modeling methodology. In 2019, I co-founded the popular blog ‘BIM Corner’ where I share my knowledge and experience about BIM with others.
I’ve spent the last couple of years in various BIM roles at organizations like WSP, Multiconsult, and Norconsult, and have had the opportunity to work on amazing projects. Projects that not only won many prestigious prizes (Autodesk AEC Excellence Awards, The buildingSMART International Awards) but also set new standards in implementing BIM in the construction industry.
Over time, I’ve learned a lot about BIM management and BIM coordination, and it’s high time I do something with that knowledge and experience.
The “Become BIM Coordinator” course is the culmination of my career, and I genuinely believe it’ll be profoundly useful. I’m so excited to help you on your journey with BIM Coordination.
“Ignacy has created a truly unique course for anyone wanting to learn BIM coordination. The BBC training has it all – and it’s the only one on the market that is such comprehensive. The first few modules will structure your knowledge, starting from the very basic concepts of the BIM methodology. Then, with the help of practical assignments, you will learn how to implement what you have learned in your own work. After finishing the course and having worked through all the real-life examples, exercises and quizzes, all of which are shown by means of high-quality videos, you will have everything you need to become a BIM Coordinator!”
“I have gone through Ignacy’s course and the amount of knowledge it contains is impressive. Even though I have a few years of experience in the BIM field, I still learned a lot from his training. The online training has a very logical structure and it takes you step by step through every stage of the project that a BIM Coordinator is involved in – from specifying project standards, requirements and strategy, though choosing software for the project and finishing on coordination and issue management process. Unlike many other courses available online, this one focuses on the process and not on one particular solution or software. And this is, in my opinion, the biggest value of the Become BIM Coordinator online training. I reckon that anybody who completed and fully understood the course material will be well equipped to become a BIM Coordinator.”
“The course structure is thoughtfully organized and provides knowledge about all mechanisms and issues you might face as a BIM coordinator. The lessons are full of tips and recommendations, while the extensive experience of the author helps you to get into the BIM world much quicker. In addition, you will get an overview of BIM tools, as well as an explanation of how to use them properly.This is not just another course … It is what you need to effectively reach the goal of becoming a BIM coordinator!
