    "Engaging content"
    It's always nice learning new software but what made our Revit Architecture training course with Cadspec even better was our trainer was always keeping the content engaging.
    Matthew Heritt, Architectural Assistant, PHD Architects
    "Invaluable training"
    We were very pleased with the introductions and supporting guidance you Cadspec provided during your visit to our offices. This was invaluable to us being able to operate the software effectively on a live project, only a matter of days later.
    Stuart Taylor, Associate Director, Brownhill Hayward Brown
    "Informative"
    The course with Cadspec was not only informative but our trainer had very good knowledge of all subjectives covered.
    Jeff Bayliss, Senior Project Manager
    "Great engagement"
    The trainer consistently engaged with us throughout the course and made the process of learning a new software thoroughly enjoyable.

What is Revit Architecture training?

Autodesk Revit is BIM software for modelling, documenting and coordinating building projects from one consistent model. On this hands-on Essentials course, you’ll learn to “think Revit”: model once, then drive coordinated drawings, schedules and sheets without constant redrafting. We focus on clean templates, robust families and view control so your outputs read well and stay in sync as the design evolves.

What are the benefits of Revit Architecture training?

  • Coordinated outputs by default. Plans, sections, elevations and schedules read from one model, so updates cascade through without re-drawing.
  • Clearer communication. View templates, filters and tidy sheets make drawings easier to read and review.
  • Less rework, better control. Families, constraints and typed data reduce errors and speed edits.
  • Ready for team delivery. Learn work-sharing fundamentals and where cloud work-sharing fits when multiple offices need to co-author safely.

How can I tailor my Revit Architecture training?

Designed for architects, technologists and designers moving to model-based delivery. No prior Revit experience is required (AutoCAD familiarity helps). Choose Virtual Classroom, in-centre, or on-site delivery. We can:

  • Build exercises around your office template, title blocks and family standards.
  • Emphasise what matters (housing, commercial/interiors, documentation depth, or schedules and tags).
  • Include tasters for cloud work-sharing (BIM Collaborate Pro) and naming/coordination policies your team follows. Revit runs on Windows; Mac users typically run Revit via Boot Camp or Parallels.

You can speak to one of our consultants to discuss a bespoke course- Pricing is on enquiry. All training includes materials and an Autodesk-authorised certificate of completion.

What’s the outcome of a Revit Architecture course?

You will be able to:

  • Set up projects cleanly (templates, levels/grids) and model core elements with confidence.
  • Control views and sheets, apply standards and publish consistent PDF packs.
  • Build and manage schedules that stay linked to model data for doors, rooms and components.
  • Collaborate using links and work-sharing and understand when to adopt cloud work-sharing for multi-site teams.
    You’ll receive your Autodesk certificate and 30 days of post-course support from our technical team.
