Revit MEP Certification Course Online
This Revit MEP certification course focuses on the building systems inside a coordinated BIM model. VDCI's sequence develops mechanical, electrical and plumbing modeling skills alongside coordination workflows. The published program includes preparation for Autodesk Certified Professional exams in Revit for Mechanical Design and Electrical Design, which are distinct from the architectural design exam.
What's included
- Access to Revit & Navisworks for 7 months
- 150 hours of project-based instruction
- 373 training videos
- Revit Mechanical and Revit Electrical exams
- Instruction from an Autodesk Certified Instructor
- Bonus one-on-one training session
- Verified digital certificate of completion
- Instruction at an ACCET-accredited school
- 15 CEUs
- Quizzes
Overview
A 150-hour track specializing in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems within Revit. After Revit and BIM fundamentals, the sequence moves through dedicated mechanical, plumbing, and electrical courses covering HVAC design, piping, lighting, and circuiting.
Students work on coordinating MEP systems to resolve clashes across disciplines and producing construction documents directly from the models, and a Navisworks course covers clash detection. The track prepares students for the Autodesk Certified Professional exams in Revit for Mechanical and Electrical Design and includes seven months of Revit and Navisworks access.
Who this course is for
Aspiring MEP engineers, BIM coordinators specializing in MEP workflows, and building systems designers moving into Revit.

- Coordinating Multidisciplinary Models: Address model conflicts and manage interdisciplinary workflows while placing components like light fixtures on architectural ceilings.
- Evaluating Family Parameters: Learn how Revit manages family parameters, constraints, and the setup required to create effective electrical schedules.
- Creating Professional Drawings: Produce 2D .pdf plans that showcase your 3D model alongside schedule and project data, using Revit's Visibility Graphics, View Templates, and Annotation tools.

Course Reviews
Is this course right for you?
This is the relevant Revit track for building-systems designers and MEP-focused BIM coordinators. If you need to understand systems and read their drawings before learning design software, compare the introductory MEP course; it teaches system fundamentals rather than Revit modeling.
Which Revit MEP exams are included?
VDCI lists Autodesk Certified Professional exams in Revit for Mechanical Design and Electrical Design, with proctoring. The exams are optional and distinct from the Autodesk architectural-design credential.
