Premier Scholar Gold Badge

Premier Scholars receive a gold badge they can include on LinkedIn, email signatures, and other online platforms to make it easy to share their enthusiasm with their professional network.

Ultimately, Premier Scholar is designed around continual engagement and learning through the Premier Scholar Alumni network. Participants are required to renew their accreditation every 18 months and are encouraged to stay engaged and continue learning through unique events and opportunities. This gives Bentley users with E365 agreements the benefit of open communication and continual learning to stay competitive in the industry.

“The much-needed digital evolution of how we design and deliver road projects is well underway and I’m proud to be leading the charge with Bentley presenting me with Premier Scholar accreditation. Most road and highway projects require multiple designers to work collaboratively together and with other disciplines such as drainage, structures, geotechnical and utilities. OpenRoads provides the ability for the whole project team to have complete visibility of, and work on, a single source of truth so that issues and changes can be addressed rapidly, greatly reducing the risk of error… I am genuinely excited to see what the future holds for the industry with software like this now at our fingertips!”

"Through the Bentley Premier Scholar Program, I was systematically taken through an introduction and the future of 3D modeling as it relates to the transportation industry. I was also given tools to increase my understanding and capabilities in OpenRoads. The program capstone projects served as my next step in continued learning and development of my professional capabilities, even after completing hours of course on the Bentley Learn Server. They presented real-life engineering challenges that I had yet to encounter and modeling solutions that I didn’t know existed. Holding the Premier Scholar Accreditation ensures that myself and others are better positioned to add value to our organizations and clients, as well as be a technical leader in our offices."
