Design with connected information
One building model.
A clearer design workflow.
Architectural BIM connects a building's geometry with the information needed to develop and communicate a design. Plans, sections, elevations and schedules become part of a shared model workflow, helping you understand how a design change affects the drawing set.
Our BIM for Architecture course in Sharjah brings architectural modelling and documentation together with model review and cloud collaboration. Build your Revit skills, then explore how architects exchange information with structural and MEP teams.
Work through a practical learning path: establish the project, model architectural elements, organise views and sheets, review coordination findings and share design updates.
The program is suited to architects, architectural draftspersons, interior designers, BIM modellers and design students. Discuss your drawing knowledge and software experience with admissions to choose an appropriate starting level.
Explain the design.
Prepare plans, sections, elevations, schedules and sheets from a consistent model and view setup.
Make changes easier to follow.
Review discipline interfaces and practise communicating findings, revisions and shared design information.
Your learning path
From first model
to a coordinated drawing set.
Explore the core areas of the 80-hour BIM for Architecture program. Open each module to see the skills and practical outcomes.
01 BIM foundations & architectural project setup Start with a consistent project structure
- Understand architectural BIM, model information and the relationship between views and building elements.
- Explore the Revit interface, project templates, units, levels and grids.
- Use reference drawings and linked information to establish the project context.
- Explore conceptual massing and the transition into architectural modelling.
Practical outcome: Set up a sample architectural project with organised levels, grids and reference information.
02 Architectural modelling & parametric families Develop the building and its information
- Model walls, floors, roofs, doors, windows, stairs and curtain systems.
- Work with rooms, materials, element properties and model relationships.
- Explore family types, parameters and reusable architectural components.
- Use 3D views and sections to check the consistency of the model.
Practical outcome: Develop an architectural building model with editable elements and organised project information.
Explore focused Revit Architecture training ↗03 Views, schedules & architectural documentation Turn model information into a readable drawing set
- Organise plans, elevations, sections and 3D views using templates and visibility settings.
- Explore design options and phasing to represent design alternatives and project stages.
- Apply dimensions, tags, annotations and architectural details.
- Create schedules, title blocks and sheets; review the drawing set before export.
Practical outcome: Prepare an organised architectural drawing set with model-based views and schedules.
04 Navisworks Manage coordination & clash review Understand the interfaces between design disciplines
- Bring architecture, structural and MEP reference models into a combined review environment.
- Organise selection and search sets, viewpoints and navigation for model review.
- Explore clash tests, tolerances and grouping; interpret findings in their design context.
- Prepare useful viewpoints and reports to communicate coordination issues.
Practical outcome: Create a review pack that explains selected model findings and the follow-up required.
Explore Navisworks Manage training ↗05 Forma Design Collaboration & shared model workflows Cloud collaboration · formerly BIM Collaborate Pro
- Understand project access, team roles and common data environment workflows.
- Explore cloud worksharing, model publishing and controlled design exchanges.
- Review shared packages and design changes between participating teams.
- Connect version review and issue communication with an agreed collaboration process.
Practical outcome: Explain how an architectural team shares and reviews model information in a cloud workflow.
Explore cloud collaboration training ↗06 Applied architectural BIM project Bring modelling, documentation and coordination together
- Develop a sample building brief into an architectural model and drawing set.
- Check the relationship between model elements, views and schedules.
- Review selected coordination findings and explain the design response.
- Present your model, documentation and approach to sharing project information.
Practical outcome: Present an architectural BIM project and explain the decisions behind your workflow.
Admissions will confirm the current syllabus, software versions and practical access for your batch. Cloud worksharing activities depend on the project permissions and software access provided.
Put the learning to work

Clear answers before you join
Questions about architectural BIM?
Who is the BIM for Architecture course suitable for?
The program is suited to architects, architectural draftspersons, interior designers, BIM modellers and architecture or design students. Basic architectural drawing knowledge is helpful. Share your CAD and Revit experience with admissions to discuss a suitable starting level.
Can I join if I am new to Revit?
Tell admissions about your drawing knowledge and software background. The learning path starts with project setup, but the recommended preparation depends on your experience. Learners new to architectural drawings or CAD can discuss foundation training before choosing a batch.
How does this differ from a Revit Architecture course?
Focused Revit Architecture training develops modelling and documentation skills in Revit. This BIM for Architecture pathway also connects those skills with Navisworks Manage model review and Forma Design Collaboration workflows. Choose the scope that matches the work you want to produce.
How long is the BIM for Architecture program?
The program is 80 training hours. The number of weeks depends on session length, frequency and the agreed timetable. Admissions will confirm the class calendar and project requirements for your batch.
Is Forma Design Collaboration the new name for BIM Collaborate Pro?
Yes. Autodesk now uses Forma Design Collaboration for the product formerly called BIM Collaborate Pro. This module focuses on shared model and design collaboration workflows. Forma Site Design is a separate product focused on early-stage site planning.
Will I work on an architectural project?
The learning path includes an applied architectural BIM project connecting a building model, drawings, schedules and selected coordination findings. Discuss the current project brief, submission requirements and portfolio outputs with admissions.
Can I study online or enquire through another UAE branch?
Discuss Sharjah classroom training or instructor-led online live sessions with admissions. Learners in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and other emirates can request their preferred branch and schedule. GCC learners can enquire about online timings, language availability and software setup.
What software and cloud access will I need?
Ask the team to confirm the supported Revit and Navisworks versions, computer requirements and software access for your learning format. Cloud worksharing requires suitable Autodesk access and project permissions. Admissions will explain what is provided and what you need to arrange before your batch begins.
Which certificates will I receive?
Ask admissions for the applicable Autodesk course-completion credentials and CADD International certificate included in your enrolment. Confirm completion requirements, any separate professional certification exams and optional KHDA attestation charges with the team.
How do I get the fee and next starting date?
Complete the enquiry form below or call +971 56 177 5009. Share your profession, software experience and preferred learning format. Admissions will explain the current fee, available batches and payment options, including applicable Tabby and Tamara terms.
