The Archicad training path for interior architects: from competent to specialist

A clear, ordered route through Archicad for interior work, from a solid model to controlled objects, presentation and revisions. Three levels, each one built to set up the next. Taught in your own language by Nordic BIM Group specialists with decades inside the tool. Find your level, then take the next course.

How the path works

An interior architect spends a large share of the working day inside the BIM tool and it varies widely from one studio to the next. Archicad is a deep tool, and most people use only a fraction of it, especially the parts that matter most for interiors: objects, libraries, and presentation. The more you put to work, the more that time pays back. This path gets you there in four moves.

Start

Get the foundation right. Learn to model competently and run a project from start to finish, with an interior focus, so everything above this level stands on something solid.

Build

Add the daily production skills. Model stairs and railings that resolve, take an interior from the client's drawings to presentation, and turn the model into clean drawings and reliable schedules.

Specialise

Go deep where it counts. Take control of objects, model data, openBIM delivery, and a changing drawing set, the work that sets a specialist apart.

Stay current

Keep pace. Pick up new ways of working as Archicad evolves each year, so your skills do not drift while the tool keeps moving.

Level 1

Basic: get the foundation right.

Start here if you are new to Archicad, or self-taught with gaps you keep tripping over. Archicad Fundamentals takes you from an empty file to a complete, well-structured model and teaches the project workflow the rest of the path builds on. The course runs with an interior focus, so you learn the foundation on the kind of work you actually do.

Level 2

Advanced: turn the model into deliverables

Once you model with confidence, this level makes you productive on real interior work. You learn to model stairs and railings that resolve correctly, take an interior from the client's drawings through design alternatives to a presentable result, build a complete and consistent drawing set efficiently, work faster with Archicad's everyday time-savers, and get reliable quantities and schedules straight from the model. Take them in any order, or pick the one that solves today's problem first.

Level 3

Professional: specialist control

The specialist level. You take control of objects and libraries so they work for you instead of against you, learn to deliver and exchange model data cleanly through openBIM and IFC, and keep a changing drawing set under control as designs get revised and re-issued. These courses assume you already work competently in Archicad, including the Layout Book. They do not ask for a checklist of completed Advanced courses, only solid basics.

What you'll achieve

Follow the path and the gains add up, for you and for the studio.

Skills that compound

Each level builds on the last, so nothing you learn goes to waste. You move from a solid model up to controlled objects, clean data, and a drawing set you can revise without fear. Every new skill rests on a base you can rely on, project after project.

Confidence on real projects

Every course is taught by Nordic BIM Group specialists, around 20 Archicad experts among a team of 60 across the Nordics. You learn in your own language, on real Nordic project work, the way you actually work rather than in the abstract.

Measurable studio outcomes

Trained teams make fewer errors and get more from the licences you already pay for. Objects and libraries stay under control, client-ready presentation comes faster, and a changing drawing set stops eating time. We measured a 20 to 25% productivity gain across users after our Competence Accelerator. Companies with training programmes see around 218% higher income per employee (Intellum, 2026).
