Key details

Teaches how to use Revit’s advanced features and tools relevant to engineers and designers in the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) disciplines.

The topics covered include:

• Setting model for services.
• Environmental analysis.
• Creating ductwork systems.
• Creating pipework.
• Creating electrical systems.
• Collaborating on designs with other team members.
• Techniques for using Revit more productively.

As part of the course we run an open session looking at topics requested by delegates, answering any questions you have and looking at areas you’re having problems with.

Advanced Revit training for MEP delegates receive:

• A highly-practical training guide for Revit, to refer to throughout the course, and to use as a refresher afterwards.
• An e-certificate confirming successful completion of accredited Advanced Revit training for MEP. This is emailed to delegates directly from Autodesk. Click here to see an example of the certificate you receive.

Who should attend?

This course is aimed at mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers already using Revit who want to take their use of the application to the next level.

In-class or live online training

In-class Revit courses are available at our centres at Birmingham, Bristol, Milton Keynes, 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. For a limited time, we’re offering discounts off the usual course price. See Live online training for details.

Accredited Revit training

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

Advanced Revit training for 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 Advanced Revit training for MEP, 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 MEP Essentials training or have equivalent knowledge through other means.

Our guarantees to you

We want our delegates to go away satisfied.

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.

General information

Course times

9.30am–4.30pm.

Revit version

Training is based primarily on Revit 2025, running on Windows.

Most of the techniques are relevant to all recent versions of Revit – 2020 and later.

Not all of the techniques covered can be carried out in Revit LT (light version of Revit). For example, Revit LT doesn’t support rendering and multi-user environments.

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.

Payment

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

We accept purchase orders from UK-registered companies.

Cancellations and transfers

If a company or delegate cancels a Revit training course booking giving less than 10 working days’ notice, a cancellation fee is payable. View cancellation terms.

Terms and conditions

Training course bookings are subject to our terms and conditions.

Expert trainers

Advanced Revit MEP courses are hosted by Martin McCann and Stewart Cobb.

Martin McCann

Martin qualified as an Architect in 1986, and he holds a teaching certificate (further and adult education).

He is a long-established Autodesk Certified Instructor (ACI), a capacity in which he has taught Revit and BIM to thousands of professionals, including Architects, Structural Engineers and Mechanical Engineers, for over 20 years.

Martin has been commissioned by Autodesk on multiple occasions to host sessions for them at locations including New York, Chicago, Moscow, Milan and Munich. He has trained Autodesk’s staff and many other Autodesk Certified Instructors in the use of Revit and BIM, and has operated as a visiting Lecturer at the University of Northumbria and Cambridge School of Art.

Martin is the author of the McCann’s BIM Guides series of published Revit training manuals.

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. 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

Live online training lets you participate in a live Revit 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 Advanced Revit for MEP 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.

If there’s anything you’re not sure about we’ll do our best to help you. We won’t be able to assist with your Revit installation, but we can provide details for Autodesk support who’ll be able to help you with this.

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. Then, a couple of days before your course, we’ll give you a courtesy call to make sure you have everything in place and answer any questions you may have.

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

When you attend live online training, you’re participating in a real course, hosted by a real trainer, in real time
