This course is for learners with previous experience using Revit who want to develop the skills to create and customise their own Revit Families.

It is suitable for those working in or progressing into architecture, structural engineering, MEP or other BIM-related disciplines.

You will learn how to create, edit and manage your own Revit Families, including:

  • Creating custom Revit Families and components
  • Working with family templates and annotations
  • Creating custom schedules

Creating custom walls and roofs

  • Developing bespoke family geometry for architectural, structural and MEP projects

You should already have experience using Revit before joining this course.

You will also need a working knowledge of English and Maths and be confident using Windows-based computers.

You will need to attend an entry interview before enrolling on the course. Interviews are available in person or by telephone.

In-person interviews take place on Wednesdays at 4pm during term time at the College Green Centre, in room 6E22H. You do not need to book an appointment; simply sign in at reception. Please allow up to an hour for your interview.

Telephone interviews and alternative interview times can be arranged by calling 0117 312 2703 or emailing CAD@cityofbristol.ac.uk.

On successful completion, you will have the skills to create and customise Revit Families for BIM projects across architecture, structural engineering and MEP.

You can progress to other CAD courses, including Civil 3D, 3ds Max, Inventor or AutoCAD.

There are no required additional costs beyond the course fee. Please contact us for information about the current course fee.

As part of your enrolment, you will be entitled to access a free educational version of Revit from Autodesk. You will need access to a suitable computer to use the software at home, although you can use the College's CAD computers if you prefer.
