Upon successful completion of this course, the students will have reliably demonstrated the ability to:

Students can get a receive a free copy of the latest version Revit from Autodesk (valid for one year) by going here .

This course is designed for the full, Windows version of Revit. Regarding running Revit on a Mac, the best solution is to use the Mac's Bootcamp utility and have a copy of Windows installed on its own partition. Parallels Desktop will also work and will allow you to install the full PC version of Revit on your Mac. Although there is an "Revit for Mac" version available, it is not widely used and is missing many of the features found in the full Windows version of Revit. The current Mac version will work for the level one course but if you continue your training with the intermediate and advanced courses, the further you go the more you will run into features that simply do not exist on the Mac software.

To ensure software stability and optimal performance during your coursework, all students must verify that their hardware meets the Autodesk Revit System Requirements .

Using a computer that falls below these specifications can lead to software crashes and data loss. Please compare your system against the official requirements below before beginning this course:

NOTE: While cellular hotspots may allow access to our courses, users may experience connectivity issues by trying to access our learning management system. This is due to the potential high download and upload latency of cellular connections. Therefore, it is not recommended that students use a cellular hotspot as their primary way of accessing their courses.

NOTE: While we understand that our courses can be viewed on Android and iPhone devices, we do not recommend the use of these devices for our courses. The size of these devices do not provide a good learning environment for students taking online or live online based courses.
