Autodesk Revit Essentials

Revit Essentials training (3 days) provides an ideal starter for all users of the Revit suite of applications from all industries and backgrounds. Delegates learn the fundamental concepts of Building Information Modelling, and how to use the tools for parametric building design and documentation using Revit Architecture, Revit Structure or Revit MEP.

The first two days of the course cover general Revit techniques including:

• The fundamental features of Revit
• Using the 3D parametric design tools to create and analyze a project.
• Construction documentation and design visualisation.

The final day then focuses on techniques specific to the version of Revit you use (Architecture, Structure or MEP).

Training combines lecture, demonstration and hands-on practice. Class numbers are small (maximum 8 delegates), providing ample opportunity to discuss your specific requirements with the trainer.

Advanced and tailored Revit courses are also available.

This is an Autodesk-authorised course, run by an Autodesk Certified Revit Trainer. Delegates receive Autodesk Official Training Courseware, the most comprehensive Revit training materials available.
