AUTODESK AUTHORIZED TRAINING CENTER - ONLINE INSTRUCTOR-LED

Success Story

Training University Professors to Offer Revit Training

Training University Professors to Offer Revit Training

Customer challenge

Texas Christian University staff needed to provide training on Autodesk Revit software to undergraduate-level interior designers. The professors at TCU needed to learn Autodesk Revit in order to transfer their skills to their students. Travel was not an option for the training. A robust instructor-led online training solution was required.

Project goals

The main goal of the Autodesk Revit for Interior Design training was to bring professors up to speed with their use of Autodesk Revit software. As leaders of the future designers going through their 4-year degree, TCU professors needed to acquire the skills and confidence needed to support their students. Another goal was to increase student retention of new skills and knowledge while increasing Interior Design workflow efficiency with Autodesk Revit.

Solution

CAD Training Online, an Autodesk Authorized Training Center, provided online instructor-led training to the entire interior design staff at Texas Christian University. The training took place over 8 days with each training session limited to 4 hours of training. There were 6 professors attending the training. Texas Christian University leveraged CAD Training Online’s unique method of online instructor-led training to shorten the time in class each day while allowing professors to work with their students in their classes.

Business outcome

Successful completion of the Autodesk Revit training allowed Texas Christian University professors to become more confident in their ability to provide Autodesk Revit training to their own students. To validate the training of such a complex design program, student assessments of skill and knowledge transfer we confirmed during training and in post-training assessments. CAD Training Online continues to provide follow-up support to aid the professors with issues that arise in the Autodesk Revit classes that they provide. Professors were allowed to attend future Autodesk Revit training to allow them to maintain their skills over COVID and summer breaks from their classes.

Conclusion

Texas Christian University faculty enthusiastically agree that CAD Training Online's approach to software training is the most effective we have ever experienced. Much more efficient than an instructor physically present, Rick’s remote training involves teaching and showing every step of the process on each trainee’s desktop in real-time. The brilliance of this approach is that Rick is "in the computer" with you every step of the way! Once you experience this training method you will never go back!
