Revit STRUCTURES Core Competency Program – RSCCP
Game Changing Training for Structures
Modena Design Centres have developed a series of workshops to assist Revit users to upskill to Revit expert status.
“Everyone loves what they are good at”
The RSCCP is tailored for structural engineers using Revit for design, documentation, and analysis. This program covers modelling techniques for beams, columns, reinforcement, and multi-disciplinary collaboration.
The workshops are offered at one of our training centres on Friday afternoons for 17 weeks or alternatively on-site (please enquire for on-site pricing). Students receive workshop notes as well as exercises for each workshop, and may choose which workshops they would like to attend.
- Who should attend:
- This course is designed for intermediate users of Revit Structure. The Modena Revit Structure CCP program is an instructor led course designed to teach you the core features of Revit that you will not learn in a normal training course. Our years of experience and expertise have been grouped together to provide a highly advanced course that will make your team more productive by providing cutting edge technologies to stand out from the rest.
- Prerequisites:
-
Revit Structure Fundamentals Course or equivalent in experience in working on Autodesk Revit.
Knowledge of basic techniques is assumed, ie. creating standard elements, copying and moving elements, and creating and working with views, creating walls, roofs, and other objects.
