Revit Essentials - Autodesk accredited live online training

Our Revit Essentials Live online training course provides a thorough grounding in the application. When you attend live online training with Armada, you’re participating in a real course, hosted by a real trainer, in real time.

Autodesk Revit provides the tools you need to design, build and maintain high quality, energy efficient buildings. It supports BIM workflows, and provides comprehensive features for the entire construction project.

On completion, you will be able to use Revit to take a project from conceptual through the stages of design, analysis, documentation and visualisation.

Training is highly practical, combining lecture, demonstration and plenty practice.

Armada is a long-standing Autodesk-authorised Training Centre, and this is an Autodesk-accredited training course.

Our Armada approach to live online training

You participate in the same course as in-class delegates, and we do everything possible to make your experience as close as possible to actually being in the classroom…

• Your course is Autodesk-accredited, hosted by an Autodesk Certified Instructor (ACI) with vast experience of using the application professionally.
• You can see and hear our trainer, the other delegates and our trainer’s screen.
• Our trainer and the other delegates can see you (via your webcam) and hear you.
• We’ll post you a printed training guide, and make the course files and resources available for you to download.
• Your training is hands-on: you’ll practice and carry out exercises throughout.
• If you're learning to use an application and don’t have access to the software, we’ll send you a link to fully-functional trial software that you can download and install.
• If you need assistance, you can share your screen with our trainer, and pass control to them.
• Should you want to send a private message to your trainer, you can do so using chat.
• You’ll receive an e-certificate confirming successful completion of an Autodesk-accredited course.
• You’re entitled to 30 days’ email support from your trainer.

You can also attend this training 'in-class', at on of our training centres in Birmingham (Bromsgrove), Sheffield, Bristol, Reading, Manchester, Nottingham and Milton Keynes.

If you’re going to be using Revit for Mechanical, Electrical or Plumbing, we offer a separate Revit MEP Essentials course.

No prior Revit knowledge is necessary. Delegates should have a basic understanding of construction techniques.

Experience using a CAD application such as AutoCAD is beneficial, but not essential.

Delegates need access to a Windows computer to use throughout the course. If Revit is not installed on your computer, Armada can provide you with details of free trial software to download prior to the course commencing.

A stable internet connection, and a Webcam is also essential.

Revit skills have been in demand for years, and remain so.

Revit technicians can expect to earn a salary in excess of £30k.
