Course Reviews
Is this course right for you?
Choose this course when your goal is architectural modeling and exam preparation. The shorter Revit fundamentals course is the starting alternative for basic software skills; mechanical and electrical designers should compare the separate Revit MEP track instead of assuming the architecture exam covers their discipline.
How do I arrange the included Revit exam?
After finishing the required coursework, contact VDCI support. It verifies completion, arranges the exam voucher and helps with scheduling. The dedicated exam section identifies Autodesk Certified User in Revit for Architectural Design.
