Architects are set to benefit from a new ARCHICAD training facility following the relocation of Graphisoft UK’s training centre in Nottingham. The new facility based at Castlebridge Office Village in Nottingham offers a bright and spacious training space, ideally suited to the needs of delegates. The central location of the venue is also convenient with good transport links nearby. “It was great to start in our new premises. We’ve received some brilliant feedback from delegates who have already attended courses at our new facility,” said Gemma Sewell, support and training manager at Graphisoft UK. “We have a team of six highly-experienced support staff who provide our customers with personalised technical support. The additional space and open plan layout will allow us to work more closely together and will enable us to grow our team as necessary so that we can continue to provide a high level of service,” she added. According to Brendan Sexton, BIM manager at maber, an architectural practice headquartered in Nottingham, “It’s often best to take time out of the office to fully concentrate on learning new skills. Graphisoft’s new training facility is the ideal environment to do just that. As always, the standard of training by the Graphisoft team is exceptional, and with the new facility we expect to be frequent visitors over the coming months.” Training groups are kept to a maximum of six delegates to allow the courses and trainers to focus on individual requirements. Graphisoft offers several training courses tailored to suit the needs of architects with varying degrees of knowledge about ARCHICAD. All courses include a mixture of discussions, exercises and assessments to help trainees develop skills in ARCHICAD. The essentials course introduces delegates to the principles of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and demonstrates positive and productive ways to use the software. The advanced course goes beyond the essentials, showing delegates the most productive ways to use all ARCHICAD’s tools and covers workflows, templates and documentation. Bespoke training courses are also available, which allow courses to be tailored to the specific requirements of the customer.
