Revit Architecture, Structure and MEP — Which Course Is Right for You?
Revit is used across three core disciplines in the construction and design industry. Understanding which area applies to your work will help you choose the right course and develop the most relevant skills.
Revit Architecture is used by architects, architectural assistants, and interior designers to create detailed building models, floor plans, elevations, sections, and construction documentation. It is the most widely used version of Revit and the starting point for most learners. If you work in architecture, interior design, or property development, this is the course for you.
Revit Structure is used by structural engineers and building professionals to model and document structural systems including foundations, columns, beams, slabs, and walls. It integrates directly with architectural models, making it essential for anyone working on collaborative BIM projects in the engineering sector.
Revit MEP covers mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems within Revit. It is used by MEP engineers and building services consultants to design and coordinate building systems within the overall BIM model. As the UK construction industry moves towards fully coordinated BIM workflows, MEP skills are increasingly in demand.
At London Design Training Courses, our 1-to-1 format means your course can be tailored to whichever discipline is most relevant to your work — or we can cover multiple disciplines if your role requires it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Revit used for?
Revit is Autodesk's Building Information Modelling software used by architects, structural engineers, and MEP engineers to design, model, and document buildings and infrastructure projects. Unlike AutoCAD, which produces 2D drawings, Revit creates intelligent 3D models where all drawings, schedules, and documentation are generated directly from the model and update automatically when changes are made.
How long does it take to learn Revit?
For complete beginners, our introductory Revit courses start from 10 hours of 1-to-1 training. To reach a confident working standard suitable for professional use, most students complete between 16 and 30 hours. Our flexible format means you can spread sessions over days, weeks, or months depending on your schedule.
How much do Revit courses cost in London?
Our Revit courses start from £330 for the fundamentals course and range up to £530 for basics to advanced training. We also offer a combined Revit, 3ds Max and V-Ray visualisation course from £1,320 for those wanting a complete design and visualisation workflow.
Do I need AutoCAD experience before learning Revit?
No. While familiarity with AutoCAD or another CAD programme is helpful, it is not required. Our courses start from the very beginning and are tailored to your existing level of knowledge. Many of our students come to Revit with no prior CAD experience at all.
What is BIM and why does it matter?
BIM stands for Building Information Modelling. It is a process for creating and managing digital representations of a building throughout its entire lifecycle from design and construction through to operation and demolition. The UK government has mandated BIM on all public sector construction projects, making BIM skills and Revit in particular essential for anyone working in architecture, engineering, or construction in the UK.
Is Revit training available online?
Yes. All our Revit courses are available live online via Zoom or Teams, with full screen sharing and remote access support. Online sessions are fully interactive and delivered 1-to-1 not pre-recorded so you get exactly the same personalised experience as in-person training.
Can I learn Revit in person in London?
Yes. In-person training is available at our studio in Kennington, London, SW9. You choose your own day and time, Monday to Saturday between 9am and 7pm. There are no fixed timetables sessions are booked flexibly around your schedule.
What certificate will I receive?
On completion you receive an LDTC Certificate of Completion, provided as a downloadable PDF. You can showcase this on your LinkedIn profile and CV to demonstrate your Revit and BIM skills to employers and clients.
Can I pay for my Revit course in instalments?
Yes. We offer flexible monthly payment plans to make our courses accessible. Contact us directly on 02077202581 or WhatsApp 07970325184 to discuss a payment option that works for your budget.
What is the difference between Revit and AutoCAD?
AutoCAD is primarily a 2D drafting tool, producing technical drawings manually. Revit is a 3D BIM platform where the entire building is modelled once and all drawings, plans, sections, and schedules are generated automatically from that model. Most architecture and construction firms in London now use both AutoCAD for certain drawing tasks and Revit for full project BIM coordination.
