Competence & Learning

Project C - Competence and Learning aims to develop and maintain a competency-based language for continuous learning and improvement. This language will enable the assessment and development of digital competency of individual practitioners across markets. It will also enable the development of competency-based learning materials and micro-accreditation programmes.

Competency Benchmarking Microproject

The Competency Benchmarking Project aims to assess the BIM competency of individual practitioners across markets. Data is collected through the Individual Discovery assessment modules hosted on BIMexcellence.com.

Unless restricted by contractual agreements with third parties, data will be released for others to analyse under a Creative Commons license.

This BIMe Initiative project is led by Dr. Bilal Succar and Prof. Mohamad Kassem in collaboration with prominent researchers from inside and outside the BIMe Research Network. 

If you represent an Industry Association, a University or a BIM policy development group, and would like to launch a data collection project in your country, please contact us; thank you.
