Introduction to Revit

Transform your design process
with this versatile industry tool

Accredited by Sydney Design School
Delivered entirely online

Develop your skills and extend your career opportunities with this practical course designed for creative professionals. Revit is quickly becoming the industry standard for Architects and Interior Designers. In this course we will introduce you to the powerful tools that define this user-friendly software.

Learn how to navigate the Revit environment and use tools to place components such as walls, windows and doors. You will also explore the complexities of wall materials and their layering.

We’ll teach you to integrate CAD drawings into the Revit workflow, master advanced building information modeling (BIM) techniques (including methods of annotation) and learn how to extract useful information from your drawings. As a working project, you will transform a large two story industrial space into an art gallery including ceilings, floors and furniture.

This course is entirely self paced, an Educator will be available to answer questions via email and you will have access to weekly ‘Help Hub’ support sessions via Zoom.

Why Revit?

Vinh Sawada
Educator / Designer / Masters of Architecture

“Revit allows designers to develop a model that fits into an iterative design process. With AutoCAD, if you make a change to the design, you need to go through and update all your drawings and related documentation but with BIM, if you make a change, then all your drawings and documents update. Since updates are inevitable in a design process, it enables designers to document their ideas with less effort and time allowing them to focus more on the design. Revit is the most widely used BIM by a significant margin which means many employers are looking for Revit skills in the industry.”
