Our personal thanks

It is very important for BIM Squad to acknowledge the professionalism of the faculty who helped deliver an outstanding experience and outcome for the global BIM masters program. Firstly, we wish to thank the facilitators, who addressed any concerns/issues we had throughout the course and kept us updated on all developments. In addition to providing a well-prepared global BIM master’s course, faculty maintained communication and coordinated among themselves throughout the course. Intermittent meetings were held with students, during which issues were discussed with our director. As part of the Agile process, Stephan Mordue provided support resources and lecturers to facilitate subjects in need of additional support. BIM Squad members appreciate all the professionalism and care you put into managing this program. As a team, we are extremely proud of our accomplishments.

Mentorship is one of the unique advantages of Zigurat’s global BIM masters program. Mentorship is required in all alternative accreditation processes. Mentorship was prioritized in GBIM, in which mentors directly served participants’ development and success. In the process, participants developed pilots, templates, manuals, workflows and processes to enhance their professional careers. Karol was exceptionally generous with his time and knowledge. The professor demonstrates a thorough understanding of openBIM practices, which he challenged us to master aggressively. Our sincere gratitude goes out to you for your efficiency and kindness.

Zigurat provided a great selection of lecturers who were experienced, accredited, and recognized by Autodesk, Graphisoft, Bre Academy, and CanBIM. This was reflected in the quality of content delivered within expedited timelines. Our BIM Squad members are very passionate about BIM, and we would like to thank our lecturers for their obvious passion for BIM and human development. It is a pleasure to commend all of you for your excellent work.
