Revit MEP Essentials - Live online training

Revit MEP online training course for beginners, teaching the concepts behind BIM and key techniques in Revit as used by engineers and designers in the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) disciplines.

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 MEP engineers and designers require for their roles in a building project. Revit MEP Essentials training provides a thorough grounding in the application, focusing on techniques required for MEP. On completion, you will be able to use Revit to take a project from conceptual through the stages of design, analysis, documentation and visualisation.

The 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.

Scheduled courses take place on a Monday, Thursday and Friday. On Monday, you cover general Revit techniques; on Thursday and Friday you concentrate on techniques specific to MEP. You have a gap in the course because the techniques taught on Tuesday and Wednesday are relevant to delegates learning Revit for architecture and structural design.

We also offer this training as a classroom based course, at all of our Armada training centres (in Bromsgrove, Bristol, Cardiff, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Reading, Sheffield,)

If you’re going to be using Revit primarily for architecture or structural engineering, see our Revit Essentials course.

Delegates should have a basic understanding of building design concepts. You do not necessarily need to have any existing CAD experience.

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

A stable internet connection and a webcam are also essential.

Autodesk Revit provides the tools you need to design, build and maintain high quality, energy efficient buildings.
