What software is utilised in this course?
Designed to be completed in a day.
You may have heard about IDS. It's rather simple when you get the basics right.
Our course is designed to help Revit users get the most out of IDS and other openBIM offers.

Our students' success speaks volumes.
"The IDS for Revit course provides comprehensive knowledge on the fundamentals of the IFC schema, the bsDD library, and their relationship to the Information Delivery Specification (IDS). It is well-structured, combining theoretical insights with practical implementation, encouraging a deeper exploration of the subject. I highly recommend this course to BIM professionals and consultants, as IDS requirements are anticipated to become widely implemented in future projects."
Arva Arsiwala
BIM Consultant @ BIMBox
"This course allowed me to master the creation, validation and management of IDS in a professional manner. This is an essential resource to structure and optimize BIM workflows with greater precision and efficiency"
Javier Vallejos Gonzalez
Gestor BIM @ Ingenieria Cuatro S.A.
"The IDS for Revit course is a great baseline to not only understand the new data specification processes developed by buildingSMART International but also provides further context around the use, delivery and application of IFC and data dictionaries. If you are just starting your OpenBIM journey and want to build an explanatory approach without being confused by the complex nature of machine-readable outputs. I would highly recommend this course to reaffirm what you know and take you through the next steps.
Whilst this has a level of focus around Revit delivery, the course structure provides useful information for clients, designers, operators and contractors alike to start to appreciate the steps necessary to understand the core purpose and processes currently available to manage and deliver Information Delivery Specifications."
Richard White
BIM Consultant @ Man & Machine
"I'm quite chuffed with how much I’ve learned.
At first, the course was quite challenging since my IFC and bsDD knowledge isn’t extensive - something I imagine is pretty common. But by the end, I felt much more comfortable with the purpose, theory, and practical use of IDS and how these technical OpenBIM elements worked together.
The course provides demonstrations of both typical and advanced workflows that mirror real-world applications, along with invaluable introductions to OpenBIM software beyond Revit which should make IDS adoption much smoother.
IDS is set to disrupt the BIM environment. My advice to BIM professionals? Understand what this means for your organization -whether it's requirement setting, information authoring, or assurance. The IDS for Revit course is a solid starting point."

Principal Consultant @ Turner & Townsend
"Great work on the IDS training, really enjoyed it! Good mix between theory and practical applications."
Robert Hempel
Director @ BIMBox
"After struggling to understand the purpose of IDS and the intricacies of the IFC schema from various well-known sources, I found this course to be exceptionally comprehensive and easy to follow. It provides everything you need to know about IFC, along with practical tips on using IDS to verify IFC, all in one place - a resource unlike anything else I've come across."
