1. Course Overview

Dimension	Details
Format	Self-paced online course delivered through the 3D Geodata Academy LMS.
Price	€297 (excl. VAT). See section 7 for the legal payment terms.
Learning Objectives	Build the asset registry: Ingest scans, detect walls, HVAC and fixtures, and persist a structured facility catalog. (M1) Reconcile BIM and scan: Parse IFC with IfcOpenShell, detect as-built deviations and publish a unified model. (M2) Ship the FM app: Build work-order workflows, a Three.js viewer with floor-plan mode and multi-tenant deployment. (M3, M4, M5)
Target Audience	AEC engineers and BIM managers with beginner to mid-level Python who want to turn scans and IFC data into browser-deployed facility management apps clients actually use.
Prerequisites	Working Python notions help. Watch the prerequisites primer →
Estimated Duration	Approximately 14 hours of focused work. Fully asynchronous.
Access	Direct enrolment via the 3D Geodata Academy. A 14-day legal cooling-off period applies.
Accessibility & Disability	All courses are open to learners with disabilities. A dedicated referent reviews each request to put the right pedagogical and technical adjustments in place. Referent: Dr. Florent Poux — howto@learngeodata.eu.

A note from Dr. Florent PouxAEC is drowning in beautiful BIM that no one uses after handover. The firms breaking out of that cycle are the ones packaging their 3D data into small focused apps — not platforms, not viewers, actual tools that solve one job. This course teaches you how.

2. Technical Stack & Pedagogical Means

Software stack: Python and the standard 3D ecosystem (Open3D, Laspy, NumPy, PyTorch, CloudCompare, Meshroom — adapted to the course focus).
Hardware: any modern laptop (Windows, macOS, Linux). GPU recommended for deep learning modules.
Datasets: reference datasets and notebooks provided.
Infrastructure: proprietary LMS with 24/7 access, automated quizzes, progress tracking and digital course materials.
Modality: alternates theory and hands-on practice — code, real datasets, software use and shippable project deliverables.
Theory resources: video lessons, written handouts, curated research articles and PhD-level references.

3. Course Structure

Module	Title & Focus
M1	Scan and Asset Registry Ingest scans and build a queryable structured catalog of every asset in the facility.
M2	BIM Integration Ingest IFC from Revit, ArchiCAD and Tekla, reconcile with scans and publish a unified model.
M3	App Logic and Workflows Work orders, maintenance history and the business logic facility teams actually use.
M4	Browser UI Streamlit dashboard plus a Three.js viewer and a floor-plan mode facility teams love.
M5	Deployment and Auth Multi-tenant architecture, role-based permissions and client onboarding.

Why this structure, Dr. Florent PouxEach of the 5 modules ends with a quiz, and the quizzes are cumulative. Don't skip a module just because you think you know it. The gaps you didn't know you had show up in the final quiz.

M1 — Scan and Asset Registry

Ingest scans and build a queryable structured catalog of every asset in the facility.

Scan ingestion and alignment.
Automated asset detection.
Asset schema design.
Storage (SQLite, Postgres).
Querying patterns.

M2 — BIM Integration

Ingest IFC from Revit, ArchiCAD and Tekla, reconcile with scans and publish a unified model.

IFC parsing with IfcOpenShell.
BIM-to-scan reconciliation.
As-built deviation detection.
Unified model publishing.
Round-tripping to BIM tools.

M3 — App Logic and Workflows

Work orders, maintenance history and the business logic facility teams actually use.

Work-order lifecycle design.
Maintenance history and scheduling.
Asset health indicators.
Search and filtering.
Reporting endpoints.

Mid-course checkpoint, Dr. Florent PouxWhen you reach M3 — App Logic and Workflows, stop and apply what you've learned to a dataset you actually care about. The back half of the course goes faster when the first half sits on a real example, not a toy one.

M4 — Browser UI

Streamlit dashboard plus a Three.js viewer and a floor-plan mode facility teams love.

Streamlit dashboard patterns.
Three.js viewer integration.
Floor-plan 2D mode.
Progressive 3D loading.
Responsive layouts for tablets.

M5 — Deployment and Auth

Multi-tenant architecture, role-based permissions and client onboarding.

Multi-tenant architecture.
Authentication and roles.
Cloud or on-prem deployment.
Client onboarding workflow.
Portfolio-ready FM app.

Expert tip — Dr. Florent PouxBuild the floor-plan mode before the 3D viewer. Facility managers open the 2D plan ten times for every 3D rotation. Nail the flat view and the 3D view becomes a nice bonus instead of a mandatory battleground.

4. Assessment, Certificate & Grading

This is a standalone course: there is no project to defend and no oral examination. Evaluation is fully quiz-based, automated through the LMS.

Stage	Activity	Validation
Before the course	Optional positioning quiz to calibrate prior knowledge.	Informative — no minimum score.
During the course	End-of-module quiz (one per module, 10 to 15 questions).	Score ≥ 70 % per quiz.
End of the course	Final quiz covering all modules.	Score ≥ 80 %.

Conditions to obtain the certificate

Validate every end-of-module quiz with a score of 70 % or more.
Validate the final quiz with a score of 80 % or more.
Quizzes can be retaken without limit; the latest score is retained.

Grading scale

Pass: all quizzes ≥ 70 % and final ≥ 80 %.
Pass with Merit: average across all quizzes ≥ 85 %.
Pass with Distinction: average across all quizzes ≥ 92 %.

Successful learners receive the course certificate (PDF + verifiable digital badge) and join the Alumni registry.

Accessibility & disability: all evaluations can be adapted (extended time, alternative formats, oral or written substitution, screen-reader friendly versions) on request to the disability referent howto@learngeodata.eu.
