Technology, Networking Programs

  • Digital School is leading the way in ensuring our graduates are well versed in Building Information Modeling (BIM), which brings disciplines together to communicate needs and changes to each other as seamlessly as possible, making every project run more efficiently and cost-effective. BIM Technicians work directly with designers, project managers and engineers to translate a concept into technical drawings that construction workers can build into a reality. Your career in design will support the entire building lifecycle including the concept/design, construction and operations/maintenance phases. The BIM Technician certificate is available in three delivery methods:
    • Full-time in-class program (6 months)
    • Full-time online program (6 months)
    • Part-time online program (12 months)

Edmonton Campus

Digital School Technical Design College is an innovative private vocational post-secondary college created with the goal of providing an educational environment unlike any other; to pioneer a more effective way of learning. At Digital School, we know that it is not the technology that drives results, but the student’s desire and vision. Our instructor’s are working Autodesk certified professionals who bring their passion and experience to the classroom. They know the importance of understanding how the real world operates, to ensure our curriculum at Digital School is always moving in tandem with the industry – wherever it might be headed.

Digital School knows technical design training. Formerly the Alberta School of Drafting, Digital School is building upon 25 years of design training experience. We’ve provided CAD and BIM training to several hundreds of students in full-time diploma programs and part-time industry training.

Building Information Modeling or BIM, has become the standard in the professional field of technical design. Designer creates technical drawings and plans that are used to build a number of things, ranging from toys and household appliances to skyscrapers, pipelines and much more. Many technical designers have an area in which they specialize, which can include electrical, mechanical, civil, and architectural drafting, to name a few.

*All student funding, whether made available privately or through various government branches, is only approved to those who qualify, by the original source of funding. There are many criteria that each candidate must meet to be approved. Schools can only inform you of what may be available.
