Course Overview
The Bentley OpenBuildings Designer User course by Bentley equips architects, BIM modelers, and building design engineers with essential skills in one of the industry’s leading multidisciplinary BIM applications. Designed to prepare learners for the Bentley Accredited OpenBuildings Designer User certification, this training covers core competencies in 3D modeling, architectural design, structural systems, and MEP integration. With over 70% of top AEC firms adopting Bentley solutions for infrastructure projects, proficiency in OpenBuildings Designer significantly enhances employability. The curriculum supports professionals transitioning from tools like Revit and those entering the digital design space with structured workflows aligned to real-world project demands.
Participants engage directly with key components of the OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition environment, including AccuDraw, Floor Manager, Grid Manager, Family/Part System, DataGroup System, and integrated clash detection tools. The hands-on lab component immerses students in a realistic design scenario where they create a complete building information model—modeling walls, doors, columns, slabs, stairs, and curtain walls—while incorporating reality models and point clouds for site context. Using the official OpenBuildings Designer desktop application as the lab environment, learners produce coordinated plan, section, and elevation drawings, generate schedules, and export data in standard formats such as IFC and COBie. A capstone exercise involves developing a multi-use retail building model complete with architectural, structural, and mechanical elements, simulating actual project delivery workflows.
This course prepares candidates for the globally recognized Bentley Accredited OpenBuildings Designer User certification, which validates expertise in BIM workflows and is endorsed through Credly with a shareable digital badge. Certified professionals report an average salary increase of 15–20% in roles involving BIM coordination and digital design leadership. Koenig Solutions enhances learning outcomes with Guaranteed-to-Run batches, official Bentley courseware, and access to expert-led training that includes personalized mentoring. Completing this program empowers individuals to lead complex building design initiatives, improve project accuracy, and advance into senior modeling or BIM management positions within the global AEC industry.
