You missed out!
2.30 hours per week, for 12 weeks
Every week we do a 2-hour live session where you will learn Revit architecture with projects in a step-by-step way with 30 minutes dedicated to Q&A from the instructor.
Our custom training method
After training corporate clients and students for years, we have developed a method that works best for a newbie. This cohort employs this method to transform novices into professionals.
Certificate included
When you successfully complete the entire cohort and all projects, you will receive a certificate of training completion.
No pre-requisite, bespoke training
To attend the training, you need just a PC or laptop with AutoCAD installed in it and no other requirements. We include additional topics and customize the cohort to meet your specific needs as well.
How does this cohort work?
This is a rigorous 3-month program that will transform you into a professional Revit architecture user by the time it concludes.
Every week there will be a 2-hour live class from the instructor followed by a Q&A session and a project that you need to make and share next week.
The following week, the instructor will share specific feedback on your project and they will help you with all your questions and challenges.
After the projects, we move on to the next set of topics in our syllabus.
The live session will happen on the same day every week so even if you are a working professional, you can set a time aside for this training.
The entire focus throughout the training will be to make you ready for making professional Revit drawings.
So, you are not just learning the Revit software; rather, you will learn to use it in a professional way in real-world projects.
Who is this cohort for?
Those who are new to Revit or have only a basic understanding of the program and wish to learn it step-by-step with projects should attend this training.
We will start completely from zero, assuming you know nothing about Revit architecture software and gradually we will move to advanced topics using a project-based approach.
Unlike the live training, this cohort won't force feed you all the content in a few hours; rather, we will do it in a gradual way using the system that we have designed over the years.
What you will learn
After completing this cohort, you will be able to create and modify any type of Revit architecture project using the correct specifications.
You can download the entire cohort curriculum below.
Your own topics included
Though we follow a syllabus that you can download, we still encourage the students to share their own specific topics, and we customize the syllabus according to student requirements.
You can also share your own projects, and we will help you make them using Revit, and we will cover all the topics in the syllabus that are required for making your projects.
Pre-requisites
The only requirement is having access to the Revit architecture software.
If you don't have Revit, you can obtain a free one-year student version by providing your student ID. Alternatively, you can explore other options that we will share with you.

SourceCAD training overdelivered
"I found SourceCAD through internet when I was searching for a place to get live training. The entire session was well presented, and I learned more than what I had hoped for in this training. I specially liked the lessons delivered online."

I'm pleasantly surprised with SourceCAD, as it has helped me overcome some roadblocks in my journey to becoming a CAD drafter at work, and it has done so while retaining that sense of small community that's so rare these days.

I am a novice AutoCAD user and your tutorials are very approachable.
I am on the advanced drawing and I pause at the beginning and see how far I can get, then switch to your video for guidance. Thank you.
