Questions
ISO 19650 certification questions
How do I get ISO 19650 certification?
For yourself: take Level 3, ISO 19650 Expert, free, about 2h 30m, and earn its certificate. For your company: an accredited certification body audits you against ISO 19650-2, and ISO 19650 for Companies shows you how to prepare.
How much does ISO 19650 certification cost?
Plannerly's six courses and their certificates are free, wherever you are. Master Practitioner, the advisor-guided credential, is paid; its page has the price. A company audit is priced by the certification body.
Can I get ISO 19650 certification for free?
Yes, as an individual: every Plannerly course and certificate is free. Start with Level 3, ISO 19650 Expert, or Level 1 if you're new to BIM.
Is ISO 19650 certification for individuals or companies?
Both, in different ways. ISO doesn't certify anyone itself. Companies are audited by an accredited certification body (how to prepare); individuals show their skills with a training certificate, such as Plannerly's free Level 3.
Is Plannerly's ISO 19650 certificate recognised?
It shows you've completed practical training built on ISO 19650, with a link any employer can check. It isn't issued by ISO, which doesn't train or certify people. More on recognition.
Can I download the ISO 19650 training PDFs?
Yes: each lesson's slides are a free PDF, or get all of them in one ZIP (30 MB). For the workflow on one page, get the ISO 19650 PDF diagram.
