Inside the Foundations of Revit Course: What to Expect

Considering enrolling in the Prodesign Learning Centre Foundations of Revit course? Here's how the two face-to-face sessions build from BIM fundamentals to a practical first model. The programme includes six training hours delivered as two three-hour sessions.

Session One: BIM Foundations and Project Setup

You'll start with what BIM is and how Revit fits in, then get comfortable with the interface — the ribbon, Project Browser, navigation, and view types. By the end of the session, you'll have a new project set up with correct levels and grids.

Session Two: Model Development, Documentation and Practice

This is where the model takes shape: walls, doors, windows, floors, roofs, ceilings, and — depending on your discipline — structural columns and beams or MEP spaces. You'll see how all disciplines link into one federated model.

You'll generate plan views, sections, elevations, and a simple schedule, then set up a sheet with a title block and export to PDF. The programme closes with a look at how Revit is used in real Mauritius projects, an open Q&A, and your Certificate of Completion.

Class Format

• Two face-to-face sessions of three hours each
• Hands-on, guided modelling exercises throughout
• Course manual and sample project files included
• Open to architecture, structural, MEP, and BIM/CAD backgrounds — no prior Revit experience required
