2 reviews for Revit Architecture Certification: Zero to HERO

Rated 5 out of 5

George Lah-anyane – 30/06/2016

We literally went from complete novice to interactive designers in 2 days. The lessons and references available made the course easy to follow, although the pace of it did mean that some tasks needed to be revisited in order to fully grasp the processes. However, my design team are now competent at using a package that just a few weeks ago was completely alien to them.

Great teacher, he had an answer for every question I threw at him. Made it interesting to learn. I read amazing reviews about Academy Class and finally experienced them for myself. I have done the same course somewhere else and was left not knowing how I could actually use the info given, but after doing 5 days at Academy Class I was in love with the software. I have been practising every day to get to a professional standard. Thank you to Academy Class. You Rock!
