Overview

This Certificate is a four module, 30 credit, part-time programme. The programme provides an opportunity for architectural, engineering, and construction degree graduates, or qualifying students, to acquire effective skills and knowledge in the strategic application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) methodologies and technologies within a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach to building design and construction.

Participants will gain experience in using industry standard technology such as Autodesk Revit, Navisworks, Recap 360, BIM 360 Glue, and BIM 360 Field or other equivalent software. The programme is delivered by academic staff involved in BIM research combined with industry professionals charged with the delivery of BIM projects in Ireland and abroad.

Overall, this award will enhance employment prospects where there is an ever-increasing skills need both nationally and internationally. The programme will build on participants’ existing experience of the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector and introduce experience in working within a collaborative environment and enabled by the latest technological advances which support industry.

This programme will also offer a natural stepping-stone in the lifelong learning journey of those who have previously completed the well-established MTU Certificate in Building Information Modelling Technologies programme, which now has over 100 graduates.

Through interaction with the MTU Careers Service in Cork, the student will be provided with the tools to engage in effective Career Planning and Management. Careers education will be facilitated through tailored employability workshops, one- to-one support, relevant career resources and, networking opportunities with employers and recruitment agencies, thus leading to increased job readiness.

What is a Module?

A module is a standalone unit of learning and assessment and is completed within one semester.

Entry Requirements

Applicants should have a minimum of a Level 7 architectural technology or engineering or construction related qualification.  Equivalent recognition may be given through the Recognition of Prior Learning process on an individual case-by-case basis to candidates who have not achieved this academic standard but who can demonstrate significant relevant professional experience in the Built Environment discipline.

 

What is RPL?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
