BIM Q&A | What is the Current State of the BIM Education Industry?
There is currently a shortage of BIM professionals for large-scale projects. Many state-owned enterprises are re-taking the BIM certification exam. The question arises: can holding this certification give an advantage in the bidding process?
Looking at the current development of BIM in China, obtaining a BIM certificate has become a recognized proof of individual capability. It often serves as a bonus in bidding procedures. In terms of employment trends this year, possessing a personal BIM certificate offers certain advantages in the job market—assuming candidates have comparable work experience and relevant skills.
Simply put, having a BIM modeling certificate is preferable to not having one. Since you have the skills, it makes sense to take the exam to formally validate your abilities.
From an enterprise perspective, many BIM projects now explicitly require bidders to hold a specific number of BIM certificates during the bidding period. This requirement has naturally fueled the demand for BIM certifications. Particularly in recent years, with strong government support and promotion of BIM policies, the demand for BIM modeler certificates has reached a noticeable peak. The number of certified BIM professionals has increasingly become a way for companies to showcase their soft power.
In summary, obtaining a BIM certificate sooner rather than later is beneficial. It’s better to have the certification than not. Each individual should consider their own situation to decide when to take the exam—waiting too long may mean missing valuable opportunities.
