Free online training on BIM and industrialized construction · 06/03/2026 · 6 MIN READ · CANAL VIP

What the Course Is

The Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services (MDIC), in partnership with the National School of Public Administration (ENAP), has launched a free, online course focused on industrialized construction and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology. The initiative is part of the actions of the Nova Indústria Brasil program and aims to expand the training of professionals for the new challenges of the construction industry.

Course Content

With a workload of 3 hours and a 30-day window to complete it, the course is open to the public and offers a free certificate at the end. The program introduces the principles of industrialized construction, covering:

• Concepts and historical evolution of industrialized construction
• Technological trends and innovations applied to the sector
• Production efficiency, schedule and cost control
• Quality and sustainability in construction
• The challenges of industrialization in the Brazilian and international landscape
• BIM as a strategic tool to boost productivity and the integration of construction processes

Who It's For

The training is intended for managers, technicians, students, and construction professionals interested in improving their knowledge and keeping up with the market's technological transformations. No prior experience with BIM is required.

How to Enroll

Enrollment is free and can be completed through the Escola Virtual de Governo platform. The course is self-paced, meaning you study at your own pace within the 30-day window.

Beyond the MDIC/ENAP course, we recommend that professionals master BIM tools in practice. Software such as Revit, Civil 3D, and SketchUp are essential for anyone who wants to stand out in the market.
