A one-year professional training program (alternating work and study), structured around:

• technical instruction (calculation, drawing, modeling, Eurocodes),
• proficiency in digital tools (BIM software, Computer-Aided Design / Computer-Aided Manufacturing),
• concrete projects (group project and individual tutored project in partnership with a company),
• of a strong immersion in the company (alternating work and study + professional dissertation).

Educational goals : 

Upon completion of the training, the student will be able to:

• To create execution plans for reinforced concrete and metal construction using a BIM approach.
• Dimensioning simple structural elements according to Eurocodes.
• Interpreting and utilizing technical and regulatory data.
• To collaborate effectively with the various government bodies.
• Participate in the planning and monitoring of the construction site.

Training opportunities: 

Link with the territory: Responds to the local need for senior technicians in the Building and Public Works (BTP) sector, identified by the CANOPIA project, the BIM 2022 Plan and professional federations (Réunion Federation of Building and Public Works (FRBTP), Confederation of Crafts and Small Building Enterprises (CAPEB), etc.).

Job market: More than 17,500 jobs in the construction sector in Reunion Island, a housing production deficit (2,500 built per year for an estimated need of 5,000 per year), and a strong demand for design draftsmen (6 direct job offers received by the Bel Air high school in 4 months).

Originality: Unique Baccalaureate +3 level training in Reunion Island focused on the profession of BIM draftsman-designer, with a specialization in structure (reinforced concrete, metal).

Unique training program in Reunion Island (complementary to the Civil Engineering degree, the BUniversity of Technology (BUT) Civil engineering and local Higher Technician's Certificates (BTS).

High professional supervision rate: more than 60% of the participants come from the socio-professional world.

Project-based approach and active, alternating teaching methods.

Use of the technical facilities of the Bel Air high school and the digital infrastructure of the University.

Modular training in blocks of transferable skills. Professional qualification certificate (CQP) for continuing education.

Total hours: 450 hours + alternating schedule
