At the start of the summer semester, Nemetschek Allplan is intensifying its commitment to the education and training of tomorrow's workforce. The new program Allplan Campus is targeted at pupils, students and teachers of architecture and civil engineering. In addition to free access to the latest full version of the Allplan 3D planning software, it offers a communication platform for information exchange and a new coaching program for both new and experienced Allplan users.

The heart of Allplan Campus is a new internet portal. At campus.allplan.com/ pupils and students can download the full version of Allplan 2009 Architecture and Engineering for free. In addition, a forum and more than one hundred training films provide answers to questions on working with Allplan – from drawing simple 2D details or three-dimensional building modeling with quantity takeoff through to presentations with CINEMA 4D. Future civil engineers discover how they can create general arrangement and reinforcement designs or calculate a static system with Allplan.

The online platform is geared to fast and enjoyable learning success: based on a real project, a Quick-Start program explains how Allplan operates. New users are then able to draw a simple model after just a few minutes.
Coaching for students and teachers

In order to ensure learning success over the long term, Nemetschek Allplan has set up a new mentor program. Around 20 students are currently available at universities as trainers and points of contact. To find out who is an Allplan Coach at the particular institution, the interested party simply logs on to the internet portal and the information is displayed automatically. In addition, the software company is continuing the free training series for teachers to become Nemetschek Certified Instructors. Current dates, learning materials and a new forum for information exchange can be found at campus.allplan.com/.

"For many years, we have been committed to the education and training of the future generation of architects, draftsmen and engineers. Allplan Campus is a new milestone to our commitment in the education sector. With the program, we want to support pupils and students on their way to a successful professional future," explains Karin Schmidt, education manager at Nemetschek Allplan GmbH.

The internet portal will also be available in English in the second half of the year.
