AECOsim Building Designer Metric (dataset GB-United Kingdom)- Scheduled Training


We, the AECOsim Building Designer LEARN services team, Dan Tanner, Paul Wagner and Mary Chib, want to let you know that we have added some AECOsim Building Designer metric live instructor led training sessions to the calendar for October and November. These sessions are based on the Great Britain dataset. The dataset GB (United Kingdom) is available for download from the Bentley web site. Visit the BentleyLEARN server to see all our training offerings.

The online distance learning classes are offered in convenient modules to allow you to learn at a pace that works for your schedule.

Buying Options

There are two ways to procure training from Bentley: buy a training subscription for access to live and on-demand training or pay as you
go for each live training course. Follow this link to find out which offering is right for you.

  • Paul, can you clarify? Is this a new deal, or always been avail? I mean, following a long chain of links, I find

    AECOsim Building Designer Ask the Instructor V8i (Base Release,SELECTseries 1,SELECTseries 2,SELECTseries 3) - English

    is FREE (GBP75 crossed out). So I assume it's new - I don't remember finding this before.

    If so, why not make a great fanfare, loud and clear, instead of it still being found only with determination and a little pre-knowledge? As one of the hitherto grumblers, it's a dream come true!

    Or maybe, having taken one (my first) class, subsequent ones will show as GBP 75.

  • Hello Tom,

    We have had metric sessions ready, we just didn't have the live instructor led sessions schedulded on a regular basis. And we took our US sample and converted over to a GB sample (may not be perfect but it shows file organization, etc). Which will be an included link to download when you register for any of these sessions.

    The Ask The Instructor sessions are free, so that is what you are seeing for those sessions. We've tried to schedule these on a regular basis, with some focused on architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical and some general.

    I'm hoping that posting the schedule on the forum is part of the fanfare! (Don't have a trumpet or french horn but could do a harmonica one...)

    The cost of the sessions are related to your training subscription status, as noted in the post.

    The links should take you right to each session listed and you'll see we have some sessions schedulded in October and some coming up in November.

    Does this help clarify?

    Paul



  • I've dug around the Learn website and have assembled the attached - which makes it clearer to me. It seems the Ask the Instructor sessions are FREE, everything else is paid-for, except the current (new?) SIG deal.

    The basic MS Ask the Instructor session I did recently was brilliant.

  • Paul - is the doc file here correct???  It says GBP 75.00 FREE

    Is this free or 75.00???

  • The "Ask The Instructor" sessions are free.  These sessions are two hours long and are basically open to any questions  the attendees have. Looks like the SIG ones are free also, the instructor for those is Tom Lazear of Archway Systems, Huntington Beach, CA,USA.

    For the free sessions you should see the price "struck through". Like this:

    USA 125.00  FREE

    Ask The Instructor information:

    Description: Discuss various topics that are important to you in AECOsim Building Designer with Bentley Instructors. Live training courses are very interactive. Students will continually engage with the instructor to ensure a successful learning outcome.

    Agenda and Skills Reviewed are determined by the participants
