Telecommuting architects training
Times change and the way of working also, sometimes by choice and others by obligation, starting to work at home It represents new challenges for many of us who are involved in the field of architecture, construction or engineering.
The telecommuting or telecommuting for an architect it implies; New digital tools that we have to assimilate, maintain productivity, be effective in the work we do, control that projects or works are on the right track, among other issues. A long list of new tasks that we have to learn to manage from home.
When you start to Work from home you have two options; the first, to learn by yourself through "strokes" or to try to start with a solid base, and this is where the teleworking course for architects made by the architecture blog of STEPIEN and BARNO (15 years of experience in the sector), and it is totally free until April 12 of this year.
First, I would like to leave a recent video about 10 telecommuting ideas in architecture which I think offers an interesting perspective, advice and can clarify some concepts about the performance of professional activity without the physical presence of the worker in the company.
In case anyone doubts the quality of the course we present or the capabilities of the speakers. For you to have knowledge, Stepien and Barno together with Catarata + Fundación Arquia, has a book published with the title of "Efficiency and productivity in architecture", you can see the book for sale from here.
Teleworking course architects
First, we have to comment that this online teleworking course for architects is free until April 12 of this month, as specified on the web. So it is a unique opportunity to train and we must not miss out.
The course is focused on architects and architects, people close to the construction sector, engineering, etc. Delving into how to be really efficient working online by providing a solid foundation without wasting time.
East online course in teleworking shells the practical and theoretical keys so that we are more productive on a day-to-day basis, without forced marches that can be stressful or counterproductive and optimizing those working hours.
The level to take the training is basic - medium, so everyone can enroll, even if they have little knowledge of digital productivity or from remote work.
THE online training program It is divided into 10 modules that are:
- Module 1. Savings in time and costs. The benefits that work entails when the performance of the professional activity is carried out without the physical presence of the worker in the company is analyzed.
- Module 2. Bet on flexibility. Having our own schedules and rhythms is one of the most suggestive aspects of working from home, but it is a double-edged sword where organization plays an important role in finishing important tasks.
- Module 3. Socializing. It is convenient to use good digital tools to connect with other collaborators. If you also have the routine that I give you the air with coherence, all the better.
- Module 4. Avoid interruptions. One of the keys to productivity is avoiding all possible distractions. We learn to manage interruptions.
- Module 5. the value of routines. Consistency and discipline are essential when working from home. It is convenient to be very clear about the schedules and put together a good weekly calendar.
- Module 6. Teleworking with family conciliation. The real goal is to be able to work even fewer hours, but to do it in such a way that we have time for ourselves and our own.
- Module 7. From the Lone Ranger to the Connected Architect. This is not the time to stay home just doing the whole project. This is not teleworking, it is working from home, which is very different and much less interesting.
- Module 8. Trust and collaborations. The keys are analyzed so that we can dedicate ourselves to what is really important and that the rest of the tasks or jobs can be done by other collaborators.
- Module 9. Management tools for projects and tasks. What programs and digital managers can we use in our projects and which ones are adapted to our needs. (In the same vein, remember our article 12 Useful tools for architecture and engineering firms)
- Module 10. Technology as an ally for teleworking. Tools like Slack so you don't miss anything from day to day are essential, for example. In addition, other tools such as skype or zoom will be inseparable companions to be able to be communicated.
To access the online telework course training for architects we can register from HERE. We know that continuous training is necessary in our sector and we believe that this is a good opportunity and it is also free for a short period of time.
We try to publish on different platforms and free online courses that are worthwhile, highlighting these four articles:
- Free courses in BIM and Revit modeling with more than 7 proposals.
- Free online courses for architects and engineers with 10 proposals.
- Courses in Microsoft Excel online and free taught by the UPV (Basic, Medium and Advanced)
- UNAM courses online and free with more than 60 proposals by the University of Mexico.
One of the biggest training platforms that we sometimes forget is there, is LinkedIn. It has a section of e-learning online with thousands of courses and quality. There is training on all topics and at all levels offering a 30-day trial period.
All we need is to have a LinkedIn account and access it from HERE. As we see in the previous image, just for the word «architecture» it already gives us 72 different courses distributed in different levels. So we can take advantage of it too!
