PREMIER AUTHORIZED AUTOCAD TRAINING CENTER
Austin Community College has been designated a Premier Autodesk Training Center (ATC) by Autodesk, the developer of AutoCAD software. ATCs constitute a world-wide network of institutions officially recognized by Autodesk as sites for AutoCAD training. Each site must meet Autodesk’s stringent criteria for curriculum, facilities and faculty. Since 1989, we have trained thousands of students, many from out of state, and some from as far away as South America and Africa. ACC is one of about 100 ATCs worldwide to earn Autodesk’s Premier ATC designation. At the completion of certain 16, 24, 32 or 40-hour courses, students receive a certificate from Autodesk. Students receive a certificate from ACC at the completion of every ATC course.
CREDIT
Each course carries Continuing Education Units (CEUs), nationally recognized units of measurement for professional development and training. ACC is a registered provider of the
American Institute of Architects Continuing Education System and members of the AIA qualify for AIA/CES learning units which may be applied toward licensure requirements.

DFTG 5054 Autodesk Revit Essentials
(40.0 hours/$795.00)
This course will introduce you to the revolutionary parametric capabilities of Autodesk Revit. As a true parametric 3D digital building modeler, Revit uses intelligent building components such as floors, walls, doors, windows, stairways, etc., rather than simple objects like lines, circles and arcs that represent building components, as in traditional CAD systems. Each component is linked through a high performance change propagation engine, allowing a single change in any model view to be propagated throughout all views, both parametrically and bi-directionally. Students will learn to use the software as an architectural design tool, then instruct the program to produce floor plans, elevations, schedules, and rendered views automatically on plotted sheets. This course will cover an overview of Revit concepts, user interface, project set-up, designing with digital building components, producing drawing sheets, and detailing and documenting the project.
Prerequisites: Basic computer skills required. Experience in the design and/or drafting of commercial and residential buildings is helpful.
