Cooperation with universities is also being expanded. At Wrocław University of Technology, the first students have successfully completed their dissertations using bocad designs.
Software expertise and the transfer of know-how are crucial for realizing buildings and optimizing the efficiency, accuracy, quality, and safety of construction projects. "With the bocademy, we want to reach the new generation and get them excited about bocad, as well as support specialists in their demanding tasks," explains Helmut Schuller, owner, and CEO of SCHULLER&Company.
SCHULLER&Company has bundled the entire bocad training program under the umbrella of the bocademy: Classroom training courses on site in Bochum or at a location of choice and online training courses. The range of courses includes group training, seminars on new features and consulting at customer sites. This is offered at all locations in Europe, Asia and at the international sales partners.

The first bocad Steel certificate course combines the flexibility of video lessons with live modules with trainer Jörg Buhren. On an interactive learning platform, participants have access to 75 videos, exercises and solution videos with practical tips, a knowledge database and a forum for exchange for 30 days. The course is designed to be completed in 10 days. The remaining 20 days can be used to work on your own project with the support of the trainer. The next step will be to expand the course offering to include bocad Steel in English as well as the Timber, Roof and Wall modules.
First e-learning participants are enthusiasticThe first participants have already completed the new e-learning course and received a certificate. The feedback for the training concept is very positive: "For me, e-learning is a very good way to learn how to design with bocad, because I can choose the time freely. The learning videos are very good because the trainer makes it easy to understand how best to work with bocad. He is very good at putting himself in the position of a beginner and is obviously very interested in getting the bocad software right. This is very valuable for beginners. I can also ask questions at any time, get an answer quickly and continue workingstraight away", explains Maximilian Nuss, steel construction designer at WURST Stahlbau GmbH.
