Overview

Learn techniques and best practices for creating dynamic and flexible families and content that can be used in all Revit working environments, whether you're using Revit for Architecture, Structures or MEP.

The techniques you learn cover the basics of family and content creation within Revit, from profile and simple families through to nested fully parametric objects.

The training is practical and 'hands-on'; throughout the course you create your own content that you can take away and use on your next Revit project.

Courses are hosted by Autodesk Certified Instructors ,with vast experience of using Revit professionally.

Training combines lecture and demonstration. Whilst training, delegates receive:

  • A highly-practical training guide for Revit, to refer to throughout the course, and to use as a refresher afterwards.
  • An e-certificate from Autodesk confirming completion of an accredited course.
  • 30 days' after-course support.
  • Fantastic facilities (including lunch and refreshments) at our centres.

We also offer this course in our popular live online training format, for a discounted price.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
