Revit Advanced Course – Tutorials to Learn Revit Fast
About Course
After completion of the Beginner and Intermediate Revit Course, you’re ready to master the industry’s leading 3D software, Revit.
Let’s face it. Learning software is often complicated and difficult. Doing it by yourself makes it even harder! It doesn’t need to be that way. In this course, you will be learning from a Master of Architecture student who has practical Revit experience across four architectural firms (which all use Revit as the primary design and documentation tool). You will be able to follow along to learn the skills and confidence you need to use the software efficiently in a professional setting.
You can spend months learning Revit by yourself, and not necessarily learning it the right way. In Kyle’s 20-hour course, you can fast-track that journey to gain the skills to design and model in Revit at a professional level.
Most online Revit tutorials or courses are boring, slow going and demonstrate incorrect practices. If you’ve watched Kyle’s videos before, you’d know that these Revit tutorials are fun, fast and easy to follow.
