interface.
Candidates who successfully achieve a passing score on this certification exam demonstrate
advanced knowledge and skills in Revit for electrical design that provides the opportunity for
individuals to stand out in a competitive professional environment.
Pre-requisites
The Autodesk Certification Professional Revit for Electrical Design exam is intended for
students and industry professionals who possess leading edge knowledge and skills in
solving complex challenges in design using Revit (Electrical). This industry validated
certification created by Autodesk is intended for Revit users who have mastered relevant
workflows, processes, and project objectives, in an academic program or professional
architecture, MEP, or design-built engineering environment, over three years, or approximately
400 hours (minimum) to 1200 hours (recommended) of software experience.
We recommend candidates possess proficiency in the core Revit skills evaluated in this exam,
outlined below, prior to taking this exam.
• Demonstrate advanced modeling skills (e.g., creating and modifying systems, spaces,
cable tray, and conduit)
• Perform basic family editing (including editing connectors, light sources, annotations,
symbology, and content behavior)
• Utilize worksharing and understand worksets
• Set up projects effectively and independently in Revit
• Import and link external files effectively and correctly use positioning
• Export files to different formats
