Get training on Revit MEP from the best training centre in Mumbai.

Revit MEP has become the industry standard for MEP engineers as it provides them with the tools to design the most complex building services and systems. The software can be pretty complex to operate and requires users to undergo structured training in order to get the most out of their projects. Backed by a decade of experience in the CAD industry and with our industry professionals as trainers, our Revit MEP training courses are designed from real-world perspectives with live project training and important case studies. We provide comprehensive Revit MEP courses to beginners who are just starting out with 3D modelling as well as seasoned 3D CAD software users. Revit MEP Basic The aim of this course is to teach beginners the core functionality tools of Revit MEP 2013, which are necessary for creating 3D modelling and design projects. At the end of the course, users will be able to start a project, understand the core concepts of Revit and BIM and be familiar with view creation and project work sharing. Revit MEP Advanced This course covers the advanced features of Revit MEP. It allows users to manage and control projects, as well as being able to use advanced detailing and documentation techniques for the most complex of projects. Revit MEP Families This course is designed for users who wish to learn about the parametric family tools from simple to advanced objects. Revit families are a complex entity within Revit and setting them up correctly is crucial as project teams now rely on the accuracy of the models for all aspects of the design and contracting stages. We have made learning Revit all the more easier by organising bespoke Revit training classes online, using the latest web based technology and hosting individual and group training sessions. Along with the online training, we also provide corporate Revit MEP training at client’s own offices, our offices or online to successfully help users build a solid foundation to their careers. The topics to be covered on the course are as follows: • Introducing user interface for 2013 • Exploring the user interface • Starting a Project • Importing & Linking DWG / Revit files • Modify Tools • Creating HVAC Systems • Creating Piping systems • Creating Electrical systems • Creating Lighting Layouts • Connect to Wires • Annotate and Generating Schedule • Viewing Models • Managing Projects • Revit MEP work sharing • Generating Construction Documents • Basic Architecture Modelling (Without Mass Modelling) • Creating Basic and Parametric Families • Exporting from Revit

Key Characteristics Professional CAD Training Centres Should Possess

Candidates who decide to take courses related to CAD technologies have different reasons for enrolling. Some view it as valuable technical training that helps them prepare for important positions in architectural, MEP engineering, and construction domains. Candidates falling under this category normally register for these courses whilst they are pursuing full-time degrees in allied domains, such as architectural design, building construction, mechanical engineering, industrial plant-room design and engineering and interior design, to name a few. Others use such courses to build a strong foundation before they go about completing their degree in architecture, MEP, and construction fields.

Nevertheless, with trends such as building information modeling (BIM) maturing rapidly within the AEC industry, forward-looking professional firms ranging from multinational architectural and construction planning practices to relatively smaller CAD outsourcing businesses are on the lookout for savvy employees in the computer-aided design realm. This is where reputed and well-organised CAD training centres play an important role. Though often overlooked, CAD institutes have a much larger responsibility than simply coaching candidates drafting, modeling, and BIM applications. Whilst technical expertise on software applications is important, these centres should ideally serve as a crucial link and fulfill the increasing demand of skilled professionals which can effectively match changing industry requirements.

Apart from appropriate training facilities, certain key characteristics that a candidate considering taking CAD courses should look for in a training institute are as follows:-

Faculty with Hands-on Knowledge

It is imperative for the faculty to have considerable design, drafting, and BIM modeling experience in the architecture, engineering, and construction domains. Furthermore, the professional instructors should have training accreditation from developers of CAD and BIM applications. For instance, Autodesk-certified trainers can give more valuable industry-oriented coaching than non-certified instructors for applications, such as AutoCAD, Revit, and 3D Studio Max.

Professional Training Certification

The CAD courses which are certified by application developers, such as Autodesk, are objectively assessed and validated for the skills, knowledge, and relevance they provide to the students. Such industry-accepted credentials hold more weight than non-certified courses and CAD training centres.

Tie-Ups with Professional Practices

Candidates benefit largely from CAD training centres which have partnerships with professional AEC practices. Accordingly, students get an opportunity to get exposure to professional internships, workshops, and working hands-on on live projects. This goes a long way to prepare students to meet changing industry requirements. Moreover, these partnerships allow faculties and curriculum designers to constantly stay abreast with the immediate demands of the industry thereby modify courses to suit current demand.

Appropriate Mix of Courses and Training Modes

Well-structured CAD institutes usually have a healthy mix of long-term career as well as short-term courses customised to the requirements of the industries and importantly, students and working professionals. This provides candidates a higher flexibility to make themselves proficient with CAD skills. In addition to this, credible institutes provide students, professionals, and corporates an option to select one of the many teaching modes, including instructor-led training, online lessons, and on-site custom training.
