How Long Does BIM Training in Beijing Take and What Does It Cost?

What is the Duration and Cost of BIM Training in Beijing? As the year draws to a close, many construction professionals find their projects slowing down and are turning their attention to BIM training. To support this, BIM Construction Network has organized a year-end centralized training course to facilitate learning. Here’s a brief overview:

1. BIM Training Schedule:

1. Face-to-face instruction: Each session is limited to 30 students to ensure effective learning, so early registration is recommended!

Year-end centralized course dates:

• First session: January 7-12, 2020 (6 consecutive days)

• Second session: February 15-20, 2020 (6 consecutive days)

2. Remote online live streaming: The face-to-face classes will be streamed live simultaneously, allowing students from other locations to participate in real-time alongside on-site attendees.
