THE ESSENTIAL REVIT® FAMILIES COURSE
Our easy to follow 16-part course will teach you how to create and modify your own objects on Revit.
LEARN REVIT® FAMILIES THE SMART WAY
WITH ALFREDO MEDINA
If you are in the AEC (architecture, engineering and construction) industry, chances are, at some point you've heard someone mention the words "Revit family."
That's because as far as design and drafting software goes, Autodesk's Revit® is an industry standard. More and more users are switching to Revit® from other drafting softwares than ever before and more professionals are needing to create and modify their own Revit® families.
In the Complete Revit® Families Course, I'll walk you through the step-by-step process of creating and modifying families of many types. With highly detailed, project-based videos that are short enough to watch on your lunch break, you'll be a Revit® families master in no time and with none of the fuss of figuring it out by yourself.
Let's get to work, shall we?

WHAT PAST STUDENTS ARE SAYING
Feedback taken from Autodesk Marketplace
Very knowledgeable and professional.
Sandra Birmaher
Alfredo helped me with file transfer, materials, and a few other areas.
He knew immediately how to solve my questions in a kind and patient way.
I would recommend Alfredo to anyone needing help with this powerful program!
Gary L. Kirk
Alfredo helped me with a project on Revit (class was in Italian). He taught me the smartest way to model some families and how to run a BIM project. He is an amazing teacher and i would recommend him to anyone needing help with Revit.
Martha Passalacqua
Provided service was on time, as promised and well informing. We will be working with him very soon.
Fidan Habbaba
Very Professional.
Alfredo has the patience, the procedure and the organization that guarantees us to learn step by step the technical concepts, application and development of a project in Revit.
I take the initial level of Revit with Alfredo and I hope to continue with the following levels.
Gilberto Pasmin
Alfredo gave me standard Revit Architecture training course, he is very professional, has a great personality, patient, positive and with a friendly approach to teaching. His expertise in Revit and different Autodesk products is evident . I look forward to continue my education process with more advanced courses in the future. Thank you so much, It was really a great class.
I would highly recommend him.
Rainer Perez
Chris Mejía
We felt the service provided was excellent. We have been searching for a while for someone efficient in Revit to provide some on site training, and we were very pleased with the training we received. Alfredo is very kind, and his knowledge of the software was excellent. We will continue to learn from him on future projects.
Sunil Tarneja
It was my pleasure that I had an opportunity to get training from Alfredo. His expertise on Adaptive components has helped me a lot to deal project challenges I was facing.
He is very punctual about the time and despite the time difference between countries he had no issues to schedule training for me which suited both.
I would highly recommend him. All training sessions are recorded and you can always come back and revisit online recorded sessions.
Vikram Mohite
Thank you so much for your expertise. It was really a great class. I walked away with a lot in those 2 days. You were able to break down the behind the scenes operation of what it takes to work with Revit families. This is the key I’ve been missing. Thank you again. Will look forward to more courses.
Carl Díaz
Alfredo provided Revit Architecture training. It helped me to understand basic concepts of Revit architecture, developing details for walls, roofs, and custom details. Alfredo knows BIM, Autocad and Revit integration exceptionally well. I highly recommend Alfredo.
Rupesh Gulati
Alfredo is a very competent professional. He knows Revit and Navisworks thoroughly and is very methodical; for this reason, learning with Alfredo is simple. I highly recommend his courses and trainings.
Luís Ernesto Moreno
Alfredo is an incredibly talented, dynamic, smart and humble person, committed to teach you, to guide you through every step of the process, to monitor your progress, and to develop a great professional relationship with you. He listens and answers your inquiries. He’s determined to make you really understand the software and its complexities.
It has been very pleasant to learn from him. I’ve had such a great treat as a learner of a few different software applications (Revit, BIM 360 Docs and Naviswork), and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it, too. No regrets.
Pamela Polanco
Alfredo provided an introductory training for Revit MEP, focusing on key concepts such as View, View Template, Worksharing, Woksets, Systems, Families. He is very professional and patient, and explained all the concepts and procedures in the syllabus very clearly. He also resolved all of our doubts and used very helpful analogies during the training.
We are extremely satisfied with the results, and would recommend Alfredo to any companies in the process of transitioning to Revit.
Ana Cohen
Alfredo gave me standard and advanced Revit families creation training, he’s patient and his method is very appropriate. The advantage with Alfredo’s training is we can go deeper into details other training services don’t offer. He’s always available to solve quick doubts.
Thanks to Alfredo’s training, I became a very good content developer.. there is still so much to learn so… we’ll be in touch!
Felipe García
I came across Alfredo via an online Forum and when the situation arose where I needed substantial assistance on a project on a variety of issues I requested his assistance via online training.
At all times Alfredo was extremely professional, patient and thorough, while also being able to best balance of what was going to provide the best results with the time restrictions I was under with the project. I certainly will avail of Alfredo’s services in the future as the need arises.
The screen capturing of the training sessions (and archiving of same) was invaluable.
I consider myself lucky to have found such a resource.
Damien Shannon
I have met Mr. Medina at the beginning of a Master degree in Architecture. He helped me with the basics and also while my study progressed until the end. Every time I had no one to answer a challenging Revit question he would be the one to solve it. On top of all the knowledge he posses he is passionate about what he does and always goes an extra mile to help the ones he teaches/tutors. It makes all the difference when looking for a professional.I am fortunate our paths have crossed, otherwise I would not have the confidence I have nowadays while working with Revit.
Sonia Bernardes
Alfredo has been an amazing teacher on many levels…for example;
*his knowledge of multiple disciplines in construction (and the associated capacities within Revit) leading to an abilitiy to lead me into the most efficient workflow practice within my organizations needs;
*discipline of himself, in his agreements, and his schedule, in a way that creates consistency and integrity for the training sessions;
*ability to listen to the needs that I (as the student) express matched with his flexibility and patience necessary to meet me where I am at not only with my (first beginner, maybe now novice) Revit skills but also my shortcomings in planning and integration of what has already been taught
*and on and on
I wish the organization I work for would have the capacity and awareness to invite Alfredo to participate as a Collaborator or even manager/director in at least some our projects, more than just a teacher, as I believe we would be far beyond our current status.
Greg Shultz
Over the course of 5 years, Alfredo has taught me about design options, phasing, schedules, wall types and prototype development. He is always prepared and more importantly very professional. Often going over our allotted class time to help solve the smallest problem. If an answer cannot be found, by our next lesson he would developed a solution.
Alfredo is not only a trainer to me, but a friend and mentor. I would recommend him to anyone willing to gain a better understanding of the world we call Revit.
Thomas Jensen
I consider Alfredo the best instructor, BIM manager and product knowledge person I have ever met. Every time I search online for any Revit questions, I can find Alfredo’s responses in multiple blogs. Thanks Alfredo for being always there and for the great contribution you have given to the better understanding and use of the programs.
Ilse Rojas
Alfredo gave me standard and advanced Revit Architecture training, he’s patient and his method is very appropriate. Teaching me quicker alternative methods in the process.
Thanks to Alfredo’s training, I became into a very good Revit user and will be adapting it to to company projects. I still have much to learn so, I will be wanting further training in the future and I highly recommend Alfredo.
