Introduction
Welcome to Specialized Solutions
If you’re visiting our site chances are you’re looking for an alternative training solution for Autodesk Revit Architecture. Until now your choices for training were learning on your own or to enroll in a professional off-site training facility. Each choice presents unique challenges. Learning on your own might minimize the initial cost of professional training but could also contribute to prolonged profit loss due to limited knowledge and unfamiliarity with essential functions of the software. Professional training is undoubtedly expensive. Although you might be more knowledgeable and familiar with essential functions upon completion, the amount of information that is retained is marginal and technical support is nearly nonexistent.
Our goal at Specialized Solutions is to provide the professional training solution that is both flexible and cost efficient. Using today’s internet technology, we deliver quality content that proves to be a continual value to you. Our course management system (CMS) enables us to deliver media rich content in a structured yet uncomplicated method that is tailored to ensure your learning success while providing maximum flexibility to meet the needs of your schedule. Whether you’re new to Autodesk Revit Architecture or you’re looking to increase the skills you already have, Specialized Solutions partners with you to assist in the achievement of your learning objectives.

Other Training Solutions
Expensive Up-front Costs
You’ll spend as much as $1,800 – $2,500 per person. (Cost is estimated based on the price of the training and billable staff hours.)
Rigid and Fast-Paced
3 full days of rigorous, fast-paced training so valuable information is lost if you’re unable to keep up. Due to the immense amount of information covered in the classes, there is no time to go back and review.
Inconvenient
No matter which way you slice it, sending your staff away for training is inconvenient. Most off-site training facilities conduct 3 days of 8 hour training sessions that will undoubtedly have a negative impact on your staff not to mention your projects.
No Way to Review
As with most off-site training facilities, you spend several days in a small classroom while an instructor moves quickly through large amounts of technical information that you’re expected to retain and apply once your back in the office. Unfortunately, the only reference materials you come away with are training manuals, notes that you were barely able to scratch out and whatever you were able to mentally retain.
Unsupported
The average training facility does not offer post-training support and if they do, its extremely limited or only offered at an additional cost.
Out-Dated
Off-site training is a one-time deal. When the software changes (which usually occurs several times in a year), or a new release is available which usually occurs once a year), you’re simply left in the dark unless you follow the recommendation of most training providers and pay for “refresher” classes to learn about the new features or new software releases.
