DISCOVER NEW POSSIBILITIESTekla training and certification bring valuable and measurable rewards to structural engineers, steel detailers and fabricators, concrete detailers and manufacturers, BIM professionals, contractors, and the organisations that employ them. Once certified, you will receive a Certificate of Achievement. With your Tekla certification, it means you are qualified with an enhanced set of skills and knowledge, giving you the recognition you deserve.

ENRICH YOUR KNOWLEDGEFrom modeling with current and new tools to reviewing world-class projects, you will recognise and enjoy the intricacies of applying Tekla Structures once you begin your certification journey with Tekla:

► Tekla Structures Foundation Course: This course strives to ground your basics in BIM. Besides gaining an understanding of BIM, the process and its benefits, you will also be acquainted with the different functionality and configurations of Tekla Structures and be trained in basic skills to create constructible models and produce fabrication information.

► Tekla Structures Intermediate Course: This is suitable for practicing Tekla Structures users who are keen to hone BIM skills, and diversify and explore hands-on with realistic examples, enhancing your skills as you go along.

► Tekla Structures Advanced Course: This course will suit Tekla Structures practitioners who have completed the Intermediate Course and are keen to proceed on to advanced certifications. Coursework will require you to apply your skills in complex settings.

TRAINEE PRE-REQUISITESThe Tekla Structures Foundation Course is suitable for students or working professionals new to Tekla Structures, with little or no experience in building and construction modeling and who are keen to enhance BIM modeling skills.

For the Tekla Structures Intermediate and Advanced Courses, applicants should possess at least 2 years of basic modeling experience in building and construction.

Applicants who have attended modeling software classes in technical institutes but do not possess any work experience may be required to complete a pre-course assessment to determine a suitable course level before embarking on training with Tekla.

EXAMINATION GUIDETekla’s Professional Certification offers performance-based exams where participants will be tested mostly on hands-on skills with Tekla software. Through this system, participants can be accurately measured against the application skills rather than theoretical knowledge.

With the Trimble Constructible Process, you

can build confidence using data so accurate

- every person, phase and process work

together seamlessly- optimizing the entire

plan, design, build and operate lifecycle.

Essentially, Tekla software builds on the free

flow of information required from conceptual

design, detailing and manufacturing to

construction of a project. Being connected

means improved interoperability and data

integration on a constructible model thus

collaboration will be improved.
