What our students say about this Revit course:

David - I attended the Revit training last month. As a 10+ years AutoCAD user, it can be challenging to get in the mindset of new software but London Software Training helped me to achieve that. In only 3 days I managed to learn all the basics to start implementing the software in my company. I will be attending the second part with the aim of becoming a full Revit user soon. Highly recommended!

Az - I learned a lot of tricks from this powerful software. Very friendly. Even if I was not from an architectural background, it was easy to follow. Good structure of this course for beginner to intermediate levels.

Sarah - I had some doubts about whether I would try to learn through online videos or spend the money and learn in person. It was worth every penny and saved me months of time. I would absolutely recommend this course. Thank you, LST!

The AutoDesk Revit course is ideal for those looking to gain the confidence to use the software with ease in a tailored, supportive environment. No experience is necessary and we'll have you designing with confidence within the first hour of your class, whatever your ability.

No previous experience of Revit is required, just a keenness to learn!
