If I can take the exam for a nominal fee after spending a month or so training myself it might be a good deal- certainly one that can't hurt. Also, trying to uncover some additional information about that as well. The exam (although I can't find a price) has to be cheaper than the classes (which are quite expensive) and would accomplish the same end goal.Īlso, I do know that Autodesk offers discounts to the unemployed on the exam and the classes.


I'm looking to see if you can just take the certification exam WITHOUT attending the classes. Kills two birds as well because I won't have to continue to be insulted by certain snootie British gals telling me I have no conceptual design experience during an interview, but I digress. This way, I have something to add to my portfolio that shows someone that I can muscle my way through Revit. Like others have aptly suggested, I plan on wrapping up this thick-as-a-brick book 'Revit Architecture 2010 - No Experience Required', which is brilliant by the way, and then moving onto a project of my own like a fire station or library or whatever. Hooked my old Hyundai L90D 19-inch LCD to it with a cordless Logitech mouse and keyboard and I'm good to go. But, have you tried to drive from one side of Cambridge to the other, going through Harvard Square at 8AM driving INTO the sun? That's the real test of your driving skills, kid bikes, clueless pedestrians, merging lanes, rotaries, one-way streets, etc.Ĭherith, I have a Samsung laptop with an intel i5 chip and Revit 2010 64-bit runs like a champ. It's very regimented, very safe, clean and without hiccups. They need to know that you've broken several keyboards already because you've slammed your first into them in total frustration hip-deep in a project. Firms now want project-oriented Revit experience not just, "Well, I've done some kick-ass training and I'm a fast learner!".

Glad I came across this thread because I've been wondering this very thing.
