Revit Essentials
Recognition of Achievement
Overview
The Revit Essentials ROA is an accelerated program that allows students to quickly gain skills in Building Information Modelling. The program concentrates on the Revit software tools students need to construct schematic designs, visualization and detailed design/construction, 3D architectural modelling, parametric building design tools, and creating working drawings from models.

National Occupational Classification (NOC) - Government of Canada
The National Occupational Classification (NOC) provides a standardized language for describing the work performed by Canadians in the labor market. It gives statisticians, labor market analysts, career counselors, employers, and individual job seekers a consistent way to collect data as well as describe and understand the nature of work.
Entry Requirements
Students must have:
- Experience with the Windows Operating System and microcomputers.
- Ontario Secondary School Diploma or University/College Preparation. (Mature students with work experience are considered on that basis.)
Due to COVID-19, all Part-time Studies courses are being offered online until further notice, in one of the following two formats: online virtual classroom and online self-directed. Click Availability below to see current offerings.
Curriculum
Recommended - ATC111 or an introductory AutoCAD course or equivalent industrial experience
In this course students prepare building models and are introduced to all phases of the building process from conceptual design studies to the creation of construction documents and schedules
Please note: A link to download the software required for the course will be provided after registration.
In this course students expand on the knowledge and skill acquired in "Revit Architecture - Fundamentals". Students prepare more complex 3D designs and create advances construction documents.
Please note: A link to download the software required for the course will be provided after registration.
The course introduces students to the software's interface and basic HVAC, Electrical and Piping/Plumbing components that make the Revit MEP software powerful and flexible engineering modeling tool. Students become familiar with the tools necessary to create and document a complete parametric model. The practices are designed to take the student through the basics of a real world project, from linking an architectural model to an MEP template to using Revit MEP tools to design HVAC, electrical, plumbing and piping systems to create complete construction documents.

Program Outcomes
Upon completion of the program, the student will be able to:
- Organize dimensions in a meaningful manner as required by standards.
- Develop higher-quality, more accurate architectural designs; use tools specifically built to support Building Information Modeling workflows.
- Capture and analyze concepts, and maintain their vision through design, documentation, and construction.
- Scan Revit model for collisions between elements; work with multiple users and save their work to a central file; collaborate on shared models across a WAN; streamline data management; and work from remote locations using a local server.
- Crop non-rectangular model areas faster; easily manage elevation cut-line configuration; automatically display dimension values; annotate multiple elements with a single tag; define geometry and position for beams and braces; get greater control of schedule formatting; derive construction insight from design models; calculate/track detailed material quantities, display totals in current or load values, and create details from views of a 3D model.
