Posted by Prabhat Singh on May 21st, 2021

Education is an investment that must bring lifelong returns. It is with great effort and dedication that one acquires a degree or a diploma. It becomes essential to find a job that will cover all the educational expenses.

In the AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) industry, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) professionals are well versed with Revit so that they can deliver mechanical design drawings. As Revit is a BIM-compliant software, AEC firms prefer MEP professionals who can work well with Revit and understand the BIM process. This enables on-time project execution and no compromise in the quality of the project delivered.

Today, Autodesk Authorised Training Centres (ATCs) offer mechanical design courses, bearing in mind the importance and the use of BIM in MEP projects. Using Revit MEP, ATCs offer MEP courses in Mumbai that help candidates apply for jobs on course completion. They are:

1.    BIM MEPF Coordination Course with Internship

Learning - This BIM MEPF internship program trains aspiring MEPF professionals on the tools and coordination concepts needed to prepare clash-free MEP models using Autodesk Revit and Navisworks, which are required for Revit MEP jobs. Moreover, this course offers candidates a one-month paid internship with a renowned AEC firm.

Job Opportunities - On course completion, candidates can look forward to a career as potential BIM MEP modellers, MEP BIM managers, MEP BIM documentation specialists, MEP BIM draftsmen/technicians. Companies looking for these skills include – construction companies, general contractors, HVAC/electrical/fire prevention and protection/plumbing contractors, as well as MEP design consultants in the HVAC/mechanical/electrical/ fire prevention and protection/plumbing domains.

2.    Instructor-led, Online Revit MEP Course

Learning - Candidates enrolling for this mechanical design course will learn how to create detailed HVAC, mechanical piping, electrical lighting and containment, public health and drainage models. Further, they will be able to create detailed MEP legends and installation details and can extract BOQ (Bill of Quantities) and final documents.

Job Opportunities - On course completion, candidates can apply for jobs with the designation of Revit modeller and MEP coordinators.

3.    Video-led, Online Revit MEP courses

Learning - Depending on the requirement, candidates can opt for short- and long-term courses based on which aspect of Revit MEP they are interested in. Based on their requirement, candidates can enrol for the following:

• Revit MEP (Comprehensive) – This course teaches Revit MEP from the ground up.
• Revit MEP (Essentials) – This course covers vital topics in Revit MEP, such as ‘working with datum elements’, ‘linking and importing CAD’, ‘HVAC’, ‘hydronic piping systems’, ‘plumbing’, ‘firefighting’ and ‘electrical systems’ and more.
• Revit MEP (Advanced) – This course teaches candidates the latest features introduced in Revit MEP.
• Revit MEP (Family Creation) – Candidates will learn how to create Custom Element Types and Parametric, Non-Parametric and Nested Families.
• Revit MEP (Team Collaboration) – In this course, candidates will learn and understand the full capabilities of working on a ‘Central File’ and deal with architectural/engineering design teams from various points of view.

Job Opportunities - Based on the course, on course completion, candidates can apply for MEP jobs with designations such as MEP modeller, MEP coordinator and Revit Family Creator/specialist.

Therefore, candidates can select from a range of MEP courses in Mumbai offered by ATCs. A trusted ATC will have a recruitment division that assists candidates in the job search on course completion.
