Autodesk Revit MEP: HVAC and VAC Basics

A specialized training program helps acquire knowledge and practical skills in working with the program to solve problems such as: reducing drawing (project) completion times, providing clarity of the design process, reducing design errors through the ability to check models for collisions, optimizing model construction time for visualization of an object, organizing collaborative work in a single information space during design, and much more.

Course for design engineers of internal engineering communications.

Required knowledge

confident PC user skills.

Course duration

10 days of online training/40 academic hours.

The teacher has the right to adapt the program to the goals and/or level of the group being studied.

Upon successful completion of the course, students receive an international certificate from Autodesk.
