Thanks for the video. I’m a drafting student in Texas and took architectural drafting using Revit and genuinely enjoyed every minute of it. I’m going for Revit’s Professional certification. This helped a lot, thanks!!
Hi mr Guru......Congratulations ,,,,you got it......that's also my goal since....and now i'm focus in improving my skills to get it; at least at the end of this year.......your comments makes me feel more confident and reassuring about the test...... avoiding been overwhelmed by my leaning process...30minutes is great.
Thank you for this overview of why the Revit Certification is important. We have determining verification of skilled professionals in Revit is necessary in HR for hiring. This is a great tool we plan to implement in our HR process at O'Brien Design Build.
I got certified by Autodesk for Certified Professional In Revit last December without any prior professional experience, I applied for a few entry-level Revit Modeler jobs, clearly mentioning my certification on my resume and cover letters, but I did not receive a single invitation for an interview. The world is just unfair😔
Hi Gavin. Great Video!!! I have a couple of doubts about the exam and the way they check the answers. I have the next question. 1) In some of the answers the result is negative (-), should we consider the minus (-) character in the answer? or just the digits. 2) Also something similar happens when they ask to put a suffix like "-Struct" for a level name. I am not sure about the dash "-" should be considered or not.
Usually the answer is explicit unless otherwise identified. If they ask for 'the name of the level' and don't say 'without the prefix' for example, I would expect that the full name is required. Likewise with negative results I would say the '-' is needed unless it asks for magnitude only.
Hi Gavin! I was never really interested in this, but now it's starting to look like a good way to prove my knowledge to employers, as I see that people tend to be suspicious about self-learning folks like me and just taking your word and portfolio into account... One question: do you get a score or just Pass or No Pass? Thanks for the tips again and again ;)
Hi, I took the exam about 10 days ago. It is 44 questions instead of 35. Most of them are multi-choice questions. Someone told me I took the wrong one(They said the one they took is for the product version of revit ), However, I only see one option in website. Do you have any clue about this?
In my case I had to in order to get results but that was about 5 years ago now! These days they are online so I doubt they're worth much on paper to recruiters. Mine never really helped me much vs experience and networking in the end.
As far as I know there isn't an official training course or material, but my advice is to just practice using and exploring the software and familiarizing yourself with the naming of tools and objects. Most of what I experienced in the test is covered by everyday use of Revit - nothing too tricky.
@@AussieBIMGuru I wasn't expecting you to answer so soon , nor did I expect you to be so genuine in your response. Not once did you even mention your own videos . You're doing a good work keep it up. I'll be watching your videos !
@@juniorlouis-jean2488 oh I'm sure my videos cover bits here and there but none are specifically focused towards the test itself unfortunately. I believe it had changed since I made this video and is now all multiple choice without needing to open a model but I may be mistaken (just told by others). Most questions when I took it required users to undertake model changes and report on the outcome to verify it was done properly, for example trimming some walls and reporting the area of the result.
@@juniorlouis-jean2488 yes I think it sounds too simple/detached from the processes now, hopefully my channel helps give you some ideas and workflows that are a bit more challenging 😉
How log does Revit professional license lasts ? I bothered asking since in your video (0:40-0:53) you mentioned "recognized validation for 3 years". Is this certification valid temporarily or permanent ?
As far as I know all Revit certifications are valid for a period of time. The ACP exam is valid for 3 years, usually the test registration pages mention the period the cert will be valid for. Software changes so it wouldn't make sense for it to be permanent.
Hello Gavin, I live in Canada, and without any prior professional experience I recently got certified by Autodesk for the same certification in Revit, I have been applying, and have applied for a few entry-level Revit modeler positions after receiving the certification, I have not received a single invitation for an interview. What should I do, This is very demotivating.
Unfortunately it is a competitive/uncertain time economically - you aren't alone in this challenge. Some companies are on hiring freezes, but some are still growing depending on their pipelines. Work through any connections in practice or your peers if possible to beat the resume pile. Generally you will need a bachelors or masters degree relevant to the company to stand out also, masters ideally based on my experience in Australia. Keep trying is really the only immediate advice I have beyond that, as well as focus on learning whatever skills you can in the meantime.
Hi, I'm trying to study for the Revit for Architectural Design Professional certification test but I can not find the lesson files that go with the video/tutorials on Autodesk. Do you know where I could find them?
Not 100% sure which models they use these days, but I had my test using the 'basic sample model'. The sample models can all be found here: knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/getting-started/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2020/ENU/Revit-GetStarted/files/GUID-61EF2F22-3A1F-4317-B925-1E85F138BE88-htm.html
Probably not. It's not an exam intended for people who haven't used revit before - they ask questions about the program such as shortcut keys, tool names and technical questions.

@@AussieBIMGuru thank you! Are the tests similar all around the world, or do they slightly vary from say country to country??
@@IndieBassJA26 i believe it should be.
@@AussieBIMGuru awesome, thank you kind sir

Indeed no need to overwhelm yourself. Chances are you are naturally well prepared for it if you use Revit on a regular basis.

It sure is! Give knowledgesmart a look into vs the ACP exams I'd say.

Personally you get to see your score but the certificate is just a pass.
Thanks Gavin! Giving the test tomorrow! wish me luck :)
Best of luck Manish, you"ll do great I'm sure!

I'm not sure to be honest - they offer a lot of courses for different platforms.
The one I took was 'revit architecture cerrified professional'.
Thanks, for the advice.
You're welcome!
Hello. when you mentioned using revit during the test, is it for your own reference, or will we be required to do tasks on the software in the test ?
In my case I had to in order to get results but that was about 5 years ago now! These days they are online so I doubt they're worth much on paper to recruiters. Mine never really helped me much vs experience and networking in the end.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome - are you sitting the exam? If so I hope it helps and good luck :)
@@AussieBIMGuru No, I am just come hare to learn more about Revit and Dynamo. Dynamo Forum brings me here. Nice chanel. So I subscribed you.
@ Thanks! Glad you like the channel :)
Where would you advise for the viewers to learn the content necessary to pass this course, please? thank you !
I have already liked and subcribed

@@AussieBIMGuru Once you've cleared the exam, you are then declared as a Revit professional for a certain time period ? Not permanently ?
@@vijendrakumar1437 the one I took lasts 3 years. I assume the rest are the same.

Have I chances to pass this exam if I never used revit and have only 2 weeks?(only inventor, autocad and 3ds max a little bit)
Probably not. It's not an exam intended for people who haven't used revit before - they ask questions about the program such as shortcut keys, tool names and technical questions.

It would appear so. This is odd to me - the test was divorced from reality of practice as it was.
