Sanchita Muley

Project Specialist, Corgan

Iceboat opened doors - From top US Universities to top US firms.

Learning Revit and working on large scale US based projects at Iceboat Academia helped me to get admits in all the top architectural universities in the US where I applied for master’s degree in architecture. Due to the relevant work experience gained at Iceboat, I got placed at Perkin’s and Will, Boston for summer internship. This further set the stage for me to get a full-time job after my post-graduation at Corgan, Dallas. Learning and working at Iceboat was truly a turning point in my architectural career. I would highly recommend the Revit courses offered at Iceboat if you want to excel in the architectural field.

Prasad Kothawade

Founder, ADVA TechPro

From learning Revit to leading a BIM firm - It all began at Iceboat.

During my bachelor’s in architecture, I explored various software, including Revit, but learning Revit professionally at Iceboat Academia truly shaped my career path. What sets Iceboat apart is the work experience one gains by working on US projects. This not only strengthened my portfolio but also helped me get a full-time job at Cannon Design, one of the leading top global architecture firm. Later I moved to Singapore to work with Arth & Hyundai Construction as a BIM Manager. With this strong foundation I co-founded ADVA TechPro and now lead a 25-member team offering BIM solutions for AEC industry.

Purvi Gupta

Founder, ArchiBIM Consultant

Empowering Architects to become BIM entrepreneurs.

Iceboat Academia is the best institute for BIM and Revit training. The mentors are deeply committed to sharing their expertise, going far beyond just software interface and 3D modeling. What truly sets Iceboat apart is the way they teach you to develop SD, DD, Permit, and CD packages for architectural projects - something I didn’t find at any other institute. This practical learning gave me the confidence and skills to kick-start my architectural career. After leading BIM for two major architectural firms, I am now working independently, providing BIM consultancy to architects and builders in India.

Neha Vighne

BIM Coordinator, EXP

Mastering Revit at Iceboat set me up for success in Canada.

Each course at Iceboat Academia is designed with a focus on practical training. Thus, along with learning Revit I got to learn the nitty gritty of developing architectural documents and consultant coordination for large scale US based projects using Revit. There are multiple ways to do a task or setup drawings in Revit. Each of these ways were explained with its advantages and disadvantages making it easy to use Revit in the most efficient way. Post completion of the BIM Architecture course and gaining work experience at Iceboat, I completed master’s degree in construction project management at Conestoga College in Canada and currently working in EXP, Canada.

Shaunak Inamati

Graduate Architect, AYA

My journey from real projects to career growth started at Iceboat.

I enrolled in the professional BIM Architecture course at Iceboat Academia just few months before starting my Master’s in Architecture at Griffith University, Australia. Looking back, I can proudly say it was the best decision I made. The training not only equipped me with the right Revit skills but also gave me the opportunity to work on international projects. This experience helped me build a strong portfolio and secure a full-time job in Sydney immediately after graduation. I would strongly recommend the BIM courses offered at Iceboat Academia

Hari Prasad

Student, Uni of Liverpool

Iceboat training in BIM paved my way to pursue higher studies in UK

I had the privilege of completing my BIM training at Iceboat Academia, and the experience far exceeded my expectations. Learning from mentors who are accomplished architects with global practice helped me grow both professionally and personally. This solid foundation became the key stepping stone that helped me gain admission to pursue my Master’s in BIM at the University of Liverpool, UK. I wholeheartedly recommend Iceboat’s BIM program to students aspiring for global education or international career opportunities.

Shruti Kotian

Architect, EnatiX

Advanced BIM training that delivers real results

I learned basic Revit while interning at an international firm, but I wanted to deepen my expertise, so I enrolled in the advanced BIM course at Iceboat Academia. The course delivered exactly what I was looking for, in-depth training on advanced tools and the ability to produce detailed architectural drawings using Revit. This experience gave me the confidence to handle real-world scenarios, work efficiently on live projects, and create accurate documentation. I would highly recommend the advanced BIM course at Iceboat to anyone looking to take their skills to the next level.

Vrunda Popat

Architect, Studion

The BIM Architecture course that made me project-ready

I completed a beginner’s Revit certification course earlier, where I learned the fundamentals of the software. As an architect, I wanted to go beyond the basics and learn how to create detailed construction drawings using Revit. That’s when I enrolled in the advanced BIM architecture course at Iceboat Academia. The course is thoughtfully designed with a strong focus on architecture, and the mentors being architects themselves made all the difference. Through hands-on experience on live projects, I not only mastered construction documentation but also built a solid portfolio that strengthened my professional journey.

Shruti Bakal

Architect, Trident Designers

Iceboat made BIM training feel like real office experience.

I had a great experience with Iceboat Academia’s BIM training. The course went far beyond just teaching the software. It focused on specifics of creating detailed working drawings for architectural projects. This approach allowed me to simultaneously strengthen my skills in Revit and other BIM software and gain valuable hands-on architectural experience. Thanks to Iceboat Academia, I was able to build a strong professional portfolio that truly showcases my capabilities and has been a key asset in my career growth.

Archit Dhumal

Architect, SSA Architects

Right BIM Training - Smarter workflows, endless possibilities.

I’ve always enjoyed bringing architectural designs to life through realistic 3D renderings. At my previous office, I relied on AutoCAD to develop 2D drawings and had to build separate 3D models in other software just for rendering - a process that was both time-consuming and inefficient. Learning Revit completely transformed my workflow. Now I can use a single building model to produce both detailed drawings and realistic 3D renderings. Revit is undoubtedly the future of architecture, and I realized its impact only after learning it myself.

Tanya Shree

Architect, Efficiently

Iceboat gave me the skills to work directly with US clients

The BIM Architecture course at Iceboat was not just about learning BIM software programs. The actual learning happened on US residential and mixed-use projects. I learnt about US design standards, construction typologies, preparing construction drawing sets of international standards, detailing, schedules and more. Currently I am working with Efficiently where I collaborate on projects directly with US clients. This became possible thanks to the knowledge and guidance of my mentors, who brought their vast US project experience into the classroom.

Pranav Dharangaonkar

Architect, AECOM

Trained in international BIM standards. Hired by AECOM

I always aspired to work with a multinational company, but I knew I needed to master latest software and skills to have a competitive edge. Iceboat Academia proved to be the perfect place, offering BIM and architectural documentation training of international standards. Iceboat not only trained me in Revit but also imparted knowledge in facade detailing, value engineering, and holistic design approach - helping me build a strong foundation for my career.
