FAQ — simplebim® Training
Funding, level, format, content: answers to the most common questions before starting your course.
What makes your simplebim® training different?
We don't train people to use a piece of software: we train BIM data experts. simplebim® is the accelerator; the goal is to turn an IFC model into a business-ready database serving design, construction and operation.
Why choose CADatWORK Learning over another provider?
CADatWORK Learning is the exclusive importer and distributor of simplebim® in France. We work directly with the developer, Datacubist, and continuously track software developments and international OPEN BIM best practice.
Who is the training for?
Architects, engineering firms, quantity surveyors, BIM Managers, BIM employer's representatives, construction companies and facility managers — each course is tailored to your profession and use cases.
Do I need in-depth knowledge of IFC?
No. Our trainers review the key OPEN BIM concepts (IFC entities, PSets, classifications, data requirement plans) before going further. We adapt the starting level to each participant.
Can we train using our own projects?
Yes, that is our default method. Exercises are built from your IFC models, BIM protocols, classifications, libraries and client requirements. You leave with methods that are directly operational.
Where do you operate?
We support BIM professionals in France, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Canada and Quebec, on-site, remotely or in hybrid format.
Can the training be funded?
Yes. Our simplebim® courses can be funded through continuing professional training schemes depending on your situation.
What happens after the training?
Your trainer remains your technical partner for IFC quality audits, BIM Data Management, dashboards, OPEN BIM workflows and BIM Management assignments.
