Key details

Revit MEP 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.

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.

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.)

Course delegates receive:

• A highly-practical training guide for Revit MEP. This guide includes exercises for further study post-course.
• An e-certificate confirming successful completion of an accredited Revit MEP training course. This is available to download from your Autodesk Education account, which you’ll create. Click here to see an example of the certificate you receive.

Who should attend?

This course is ideal for:

• MEP engineers.
• Anyone who needs to understand the processes in Revit relating to mechanical, electrical and plumbing.

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

In-class or live online training

In-class Revit courses are available at our centres in Birmingham (Bromsgrove), Bristol, Cardiff, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Reading and Sheffield. Click here for further details.

Our live online Revit training option lets you participate as a ‘virtual delegate’, from your place of work or home. See Live online training for details.

Accredited Revit MEP training

Armada is an Autodesk Authorised Training Centre (ATC), and our Revit MEP training courses are accredited by Autodesk.

Revit MEP courses are hosted by Autodesk Certified Instructors, with vast experience of using the application professionally. For details, see Expert trainers.

How will I learn?

Revit MEP training is hands-on and practical.

Our trainers teach the necessary theory then demonstrate techniques step-by-step. You then practice the techniques taught on a computer running Revit.

There is plenty of time to ask questions, and you can keep all the files you create.

After course support

Following Revit MEP training, delegates are entitled to 30 days’ email support from their Revit trainer to help with any post-course issues. For further details, see Support.

Prerequisites

No prior Revit knowledge is necessary.

Delegates should have:

• A basic understanding of construction techniques. If you don’t have this knowledge, we can recommend a book to read ahead of the course.
• Good computing skills, able to carry out standard tasks in Windows intuitively.

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

Our guarantees to you

We want our delegates to go away satisfied.

Our price guarantee is your assurance that you’re getting the best value for money.

Our training guarantee ensures that you learn the concepts and skills you need.

On-request Revit MEP training available

Revit MEP Essentials training is available on-request, i.e. one-to-one training or a ‘closed course’ for your group.

On-request courses can be hosted at one of our centres, your venue, or online. Your training can be tailored to take into account any existing knowledge you have, and the work you’re going to be doing in Revit. Please contact us for a quote.
