Introducing the White Frog Approach to Learning
The principles behind White Frog training material emerged as a result of working with
some of the largest design and construction firms in the world. Alongside the
definition of standards and protocols, we needed a strategic plan for the roll-out of
knowledge to large groups of people in different locations, with very different
requirements. We also understood that the best strategy in the world is worthless if the
training received at the coal-face is sub-par or irrelevant to the individual. It is never the
case that one size fits all when it comes to professional training on something as broad
as BIM – how can we suggest that the same agenda suits a concept Architect exploring
shape and form as well as an Architectural Technician specialising in regulations and
construction details? At the same time, if these two were pulled together from
different offices to form a project team, you want the overlapping principles to
be consistent and complimentary.
The delivery of this training needed to be very scalable and
extremely flexible but with an underlying consistency of approach and best
practice – we don’t want to teach software skills and preach best practice; we want to
introduce best practice through the use of software (and vice-versa).
So whilst some basic principles need to be established for all users, we
acknowledge that the learning needs of every user are unique to the
individual and to the current circumstances, so not all modules are
relevant to all people and more modules are available than the collection
you see here. Over protracted time and several projects, a user may want
to cover a wide range of topics or may become specialised in a limited aspect of several pieces of software, but for today,
perhaps we just need them to be a useful member of the team – small bites of knowledge delivered when needed will always
be the preferable approach. Logistics make this hard to achieve but the White Frog approach is designed to get as close as
possible.
On the surface then, this is a book to accompany a course on Autodesk Revit
software, but in reality, it is a book to accompany the adoption of BIM methodology,
using Revit software to do so.
This book is a collection of modules, each one designed to align with a common industry task or scenario. The techniques
and principles discussed within these modules are constantly adapted and updated to keep pace with the latest
developments in the software and the workplace, with advice often devised and revised in the process of working on ground-
breaking projects.
The modular program allows for the required flexibility in education whilst maintaining consistency of message across the
topics, whether delivered in the form of a single masterclass, CPD-style module or as a comprehensive three-day course.
For a full list of the available modules, speak to your trainer or visit the website.

How it works… This book is not the whole picture. This collection of lecture
notes and exercise scripts is intended to be part of the
learning experience. For each book like this one for
delegates, there is a book to teach the teacher on how to
deliver the course. Those teacher resources extend to
include drawings, lecture scripts, datasets, videos
and slideshows. The theory covered in this book is
designed to reinforce the lecture delivered in the
classroom, whilst the exercise scripts provide step-
by-step instruction for practical application of the
principles, mirroring the content of the videos. The
idea behind providing all of this material is that the
quality of training delivery can be consistent and
measurable.
The is also a version of this material which has been
formatted for self-paced delivery 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,
via the on-line academy. This applies the same consistent principles and
messaging to a whole new level in terms of logistical options and delivery preference. White Frog is unique in allowing you
to mix and match between structured face-to-face classroom sessions either in-house or at a professional training centre,
casual lunchtime CPD discussions, and on-line self-paced sessions, all without straying from the core curriculum.
We trust that you find the enclosed material delivers on our goals and aspirations, as well as your expectations. Customer feedback is critical to our efforts so please feel free to get in touch.
