Autodesk Forma and BIM 360 Training in Dubai

Autodesk Forma and BIM 360 Training in Dubai

This course has been updated to reflect Autodesk’s current cloud construction platform. Autodesk states that BIM 360 has no planned retirement, but it no longer receives new features. Autodesk recommends starting new projects in Autodesk Forma, the platform previously known as Autodesk Construction Cloud.

Bright Future Training Institute therefore teaches current Forma workflows while retaining practical BIM 360 guidance for organisations that still operate existing projects. The exact modules available depend on the learner’s subscription and company tenant.

What You Will Learn

• Understand the relationship between Autodesk Forma, Autodesk Construction Cloud and BIM 360.
• Configure accounts, projects, companies, members, roles and permissions.
• Build a controlled folder structure and document-review workflow.
• Upload, publish, compare, review and distribute drawings and models.
• Coordinate Revit and other design information through cloud collaboration.
• Create, assign, track and close issues with supporting evidence.
• Use model coordination and clash-review workflows where licensed.
• Manage RFIs, submittals, forms, reports and field records where available.
• Apply naming, revision, approval and audit-trail practices.
• Plan an orderly transition from a legacy BIM 360 project.

Course Modules

Platform and Project Administration

Explore account structure, project activation, product access, user management and permission strategy. Learners practise least-privilege access and consistent project setup.

Autodesk Docs and Document Control

Create folders, upload files, manage versions, review changes, compare drawings, distribute information and maintain a clear common data environment.

Design Collaboration

Understand teams, packages, shared information and controlled model exchange. The module focuses on coordination discipline rather than uncontrolled file sharing.

Model Coordination and Issues

Aggregate supported models, review clashes, create issues, assign responsibility and monitor resolution. Availability depends on the project products and licences.

Construction and Field Workflows

Review RFIs, submittals, forms, checklists, photos and field issues. Learners build reports that support accountability and project handover.

BIM 360 Legacy Operations

Compare familiar BIM 360 modules with the current platform. Practise common document, coordination and field tasks without claiming that both interfaces are identical.

Autodesk Forma and BIM 360 FAQs

Is BIM 360 discontinued?

Autodesk states that BIM 360 has no planned retirement. It receives no new features, and Autodesk recommends Autodesk Forma for new projects.

Is Autodesk Construction Cloud still available?

Autodesk renamed Autodesk Construction Cloud to Autodesk Forma. Product names, modules and entitlements can vary by tenant.

Will I learn both platforms?

Yes. Training prioritises current Forma workflows and covers BIM 360 tasks needed for existing legacy projects.

Which modules are included?

The standard scope covers administration, Docs, design collaboration, model coordination, issues and relevant field workflows. Access depends on available licences.

Do I need Revit experience?

No. Revit helps with model-based examples, but document controllers and project staff can learn the collaboration platform without modelling experience.

Which certificate will I receive?

You receive a Bright Future Training Institute certificate of completion. This is not an Autodesk professional certification.
