Key details

Revit provides tools for designing parametric brick slip cladding and curtain wall systems. This advanced-level course focuses on the techniques required to design such systems.

Sessions include:

• Project setup
• Brick slip cladding
• Curtain walls.

Revit Cladding and Curtain Wall Design training is provided ‘on-request’, i.e. one-to-one training or a ‘closed’ course for your group.

In-class or live online training

Revit Cladding and Curtain Wall Design courses are available in-class at eight centres, at your site or live online.

Accredited Revit training

Armada is an Autodesk authorised Training Centre (ATC), and our Revit Cladding and Curtain Wall Design training courses are accredited by Autodesk.

Courses are hosted by an Autodesk Certified Instructor with vast experience of using the application professionally. See Expert trainer.

How will I learn?

Revit training is hands-on and practical.

Our trainer teaches the necessary theory, then demonstrates 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.

Training guide and certificate

Course delegates receive an e-certificate confirming successful completion of an accredited Revit training course. This is available to download from your Autodesk Education account, which you’ll create.

Because this training is typically bespoke, tailored to each client’s specific project models, there isn’t an appropriate training guide. Delegates take their own notes through the course.

After course support

Following Revit 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

You should be familiar with the fundamentals of Revit, i.e. have attended Revit Essentials training or have equivalent knowledge through other means.

General information

Course times

Standard course times are 9.30am–4.30pm.

As we’d be hosting this course for you/your group, there’s usually flexibility to change these to suit you, e.g. start or end 30 minutes earlier or later.

Revit version

Training can be based on any recent version of Revit to suit you.

You must have access to full Revit. Revit LT does not support some of the techniques taught in this course.

Payment

Payment for Revit training can be made by bank transfer or card.

We accept purchase orders from UK-registered companies.

For further details, see training course payment options.

Cancellations and postponements

If an on-request Revit course booking is cancelled or postponed giving less than 20 working days’ notice, a fee is payable. See On-request cancellation terms for details.

Terms and conditions

Expert trainer

Revit Cladding and Curtain Wall Design courses are hosted by Autodesk Certified Instructor Stewart Cobb.

Stewart Cobb

Stewart began his working life as a junior draughtsman, and progressed through to Design Director leading a studio of designers working on both 2D and 3D projects.

He then ‘took the plunge’, and began working for himself. For over 25 years, he completed around 100 design projects per year for a myriad of clients, including household names such as Vauxhall and McDonalds.

Stewart is an expert user of a range of Autodesk applications, including Revit, AutoCAD, 3ds Max and AutoCAD Plant 3D, Civil 3D and Advance Steel. He also specialises in the production of architectural and product rendered images using tools such as V-Ray.

More recently, Stewart has focused on training. He has been an Autodesk Certified Instructor (ACI) since 2010. In between courses he continues to carry out project work to keep up-to-date with the latest technologies and practices.

Outside of work, Stewart enjoys music (he runs the sound desk for a number of local bands), reading and playing with any new piece of technology he can lay his hands on!

Live online training

Online training lets you participate in a live Revit Cladding and Curtain Wall Design course from your place of work or home.

We do everything possible to make your online training experience as close as possible to actually being in the classroom. You can:

• See and hear our trainer, and the other delegates participating in the course…
  
• Watch our trainer demonstrate techniques in Revit.
• Interact by speaking, or using chat.
• Share your screen with our trainer, and allow them to take control to explain something.

Like our in-class courses, online Revit Cladding and Curtain Wall Design courses…

• Are presented by Autodesk Certified Instructors.
• Give you plenty of opportunity to carry out assisted, practical exercises using Revit.
• Offer 30 days’ email support from your trainer.

All you need is an Internet-connected computer with…

• Revit installed. If you don’t have a current subscription to Revit, you’re entitled to a 30-day trial that’s ideal for participating in training. We’ll send you a link to this. If you’ve already used your trial, we can lend you a license for the duration of your course.
• A webcam and audio capability. If your computer running Revit doesn’t have these, you can use a second device, such as another computer or tablet. See Hardware recommendations for live online training for further details.

We provide everything else…

• Links to download the files, resources, etc. you’ll use in your course.
• A training guide. For most courses, you can choose from a printed copy that we post to you, or a PDF.

In the week before your course, we’ll send you an email containing everything you need to prepare for and participate in the training. If you have any queries or problems, we’re available to help. We can’t assist with your Revit installation, but we can provide details for Autodesk support who’ll be able to help you with this.

Please note that we are not able to record scheduled online courses for privacy reasons.
