First and foremost, your videos are great. I just started subscribing to them. I think the Revit certification is worth having. I’ve been using Revit since 2009 am I’ve been certified since 2010 and I feel the exam isn’t easy (if it was easy everyone would have it, right?) I feel like the Revit certification exam is more about how certain tasks function and what happens when you don’t do a step rather than just asking you to draw a staircase, for example. When we interview candidates where I work, I give them a Revit exercise as part of their interview. I think it’s fairly simple, I have them perform basic functions that are expected in their day to day duties; only a few have gotten 100%. If I see a candidate with a Revit certification on their resume, I would want to interview them for sure.
Hello Dustin, Without any prior professional experience, I got certified by Autodesk for Certified Professional In Revit last December. I have been applying, and have applied for a few entry-level Revit modeler positions after receiving the certification, but I have not received a single invitation for an interview. What should I do, This is very demotivating.
Well, it’s all good with online training but I have a few thoughts of mine. I learnt SolidWorks and AutoCAD all by myself, online and some offline help from friends. However, all I ever got after knowing was minor jobs and freelances. I realized to get really formal and get a good job going, they needed me to show a proof of study, with a certificate. They didn’t give me a chance to show them what I knew without me presenting them a certificate. So I concluded I needed the certificate, not as an end game, but rather so that I could get a voice to actually show how good I was. To me, certification is necessary, it’ll open the door and take you in. Your experiences and past projects will keep you in, but might not get you in.
this show the type of people you'll be working with, the mentality and work culture. I'd rather not work in a place where they do not trust my abilities but will blindly rely on a piece of paper/certificate because these days you can cheat and get them and so many people fake it.
I totally agree with this, I've paid for all sorts of certification and courses on lots of different types of software and even interview and business training. I can safely say the best way is to get online or open a book and give your self the challenge of learning. I've learnt far more from teaching myself than from any course!
OMG man I just discovered your channel and it's amazing! Keep feeding us with this content! I would especially love to see more complex revit tutorial for stairs and railings ;)
Balkan Tutorials>>>>>>Any revit certification course. Edit: I am certified in AutoCAD and Ps. It took me 3 months to get my course done and get a certificate after passing a test. Not worth it. If you need a certificate to put in your resume, get it. If your purpose is to get skilful, Internet is all you need.
What you are saying is absolutely correct like for me when I was in the university I went with a couple of friends to one architecture school to pay for Autocad classes and the person charged us very expensive I couldn't afford but my friends did. I decided to lend on my own with the help of youtube the came to realize I was creating design that the even thought I was instead using a different solfware and the moment the realize I was doing better than them the quite from the classes.
Thank you so much for your valuable suggestion. I was thinking 💭 to take an online course to learn this revit software, but now I won't. I think you are right and have I've experienced it while learning autocad. I without certification have more command on autocad than my frnds with certification. I'm fully agree with you 😂😉
So true.. I know so many people who're having the certificates but don't have the skill to validate the same. I was always thinking of getting certified but the cost always kept be back, instead I kept updating my works on my website and then after every skill I mentioned I associated a link with the skill and project and claim my skills. Anyways thanks for the information. No certification required! Be great at your own work
I totally agree! I've been teaching software since 2007 & I'm basically self-taught. The courses I have sat through have often been tedious, badly-planned and irrelevant - basically a waste of time & money! I try to make my own training relevant to industry standards & practices, something that is rarely covered in classes.
Merci beaucoup je regarde vos vidéos bien que je ne parle pas anglais , je traduis avec les sous titres , c'est encourageant car j'apprend beaucoup de vous et je me souciais du fait que je ne sois pas certifié bien que je sache les utilisés grâce aux formations en ligne!!
I’m an AutoCAD user with nearly 15 years of experience who hasn’t used CAD regularly since 2011. In my job searches it’s been brought to my attention that my time away is having an effect on my getting hired, but without practical work, I can’t get the experience I need. I feel like a college student all over again 😑. I’m hoping that certification, after prepping for the exam on my own will get my AutoCAD cred back. Thanks
You inspired me to start making money with AutoCAD. If you recall that video about making money with AutoCAD. I am learning Revit now on my own at a certified place but they don't teach me much. But am making money with autocad soon i'll start with revit. Balkan Architect; You don't need to know everything about AutoCAD to start making money.
Dear sir I do follow ur Revit tutorials and learning more which good enough to provide best service in my professional carrier, don’t think certification is very important for all the time! Impotent is how good I know about use of software. Thanks for ur support & keep it up pls
I would say being certified professional by autocad helps abit more to get a job ,just some companies dont always go through the trouble to look at all you can do in a cv .
100% agree whit you balkan.......certification its only a requiremnt and a way to give " heavy " to your resume...experience in the use program its more important
this is straight forward....and i got it but could you please give us an advise about the type of software we should use after modelling? thanks in advance
I agree with you I don’t think that a person had to be certified in any software but if they could provide some quality work on their resume it would speak out louder, thank you for your advice. Keep up the good work
I may have word my comment wrongly. Not everyone needs a certification, if you are looking for employment to teach the software then it’s a big plus. I work for myself therefore I don’t need it, when a customer calls me for a job they want to know that I have the skills because they don’t know nothing about the software I use, they want drawings that the city can pass. To make it in architecture or engineering you have to get experience through work or school because they teach you the principles and disciplines including site plans, foundation and the whole works, not just to draw fancy buildings, a lot of people learn how to draw fancy buildings but they don’t know the course, it’s a start yes but that’s just architectural visualization,. The Balkin Architect has a lot of tutorials that are very useful and educational, I watch them a lot because I am still learning
Sir its true, I learned my self Revit but can you tell me how can I enhance my Revit architect as well as im learning now Revit structure part. both i want to learn in perfection.
There are quite a number of people & offices that use Idesign to layout and publish their finished presentation documents; I do. What do you use, I'm curious?
hello balkan you are at the point.but i felt my situation could be likened to other software practitioners who could be suffering from the same challenge like me.i am a high school diploma holder in building and construction who can run staad pro,revit ,autocad,robot etc.but i always get this challenging question.do you have any certificate,where did you learn them.so in my humble opinion getting certified is not for yourself.its just to get yourself approved by the world.same challenge jesus christ suffered from the scribes.they couldnt believe someone with no formal education could demonstrate such knowledge.
I am from South Africa. Every job I've seen advertised has asked for a "Valid Draughting Certificate" nobody even commented on my online CV / resume. So, after 10 years in the field I did a one year draughting certificate. The most valuable thing I got from the course was my laptop. So, wham, I got a call from a recruiter and what did she say? She said that her search picked up that I had a "Valid Draughting Certificate" and that's what they are looking for. So, now since then I have done an Autodesk Autocad Certification and I am in the process of preparing for an Autodesk Revit Certification. So I am doing it to get noticed so that I can get in for an interview.
Hello Balkan The same goes for Architectural schools..certification. i found out tht instead of having wasted hours in design laboratory and some randomly assembled curriculum its more usefull to copy the hole Architectural Manual, Some building fundamental books by hand and study the IBS (international building standard ), watch you tube conferences and tutorials given actually by the real people in the market.I have done this after my masters and it took 1 year more for me to finally sound professional and not academic...
I have one question. Is it possible to export a fusion model as a revit familly i think it is much more easier to designe parts in fusion? Thank you very much.
Most of the certification tests barely scratch the surface and don't address "real world" problems, such as what do you do when the software does do what you think it should?
Hello Balkan,Like you said many of us the may not need certification to get a job. but experience and knowing how to do the job is the key,could you please help me with some SAMPLE project to practice and get hands- on .Thank you
Hello. im a fan and architect wanna be.. i would like to ask how do i start and prepare myself if im gonna study and learn how to use revit for professional matter and ofcourse in the field of architecture???
Arnold Consigo do not be an architect my friend. I'm also an archi student and you have no idea how stressful the course is. and also how much sleepless nights with nooo vacations in between semesters. And for what. After 7 years of educational qualifications you can work for a small salary under a big architect until yu get old to have yur own practice. Life is too short for shit
Gihan Shanaka hey, im sorry i was just asking balkan Architect for an advice.. And my friend, im sorry to say i am an architecture student 5th year. for me it seems like enjoyable and i love architecture.. No offense bro.
Umm...Balkan..made me confused..🤔.. I'm in way to learn Staad pro & 3Ds max by taking coaching.. but.. now..after watching this video.. I'm in dilema.. do I need to do certification course now?🤔🤔
Ohhh another thing came to my mined ... if u know how to use Photoshop u could certificate yourselves. do a nice recognition certificate with logos and ref numbers and what not...give ur self a good 100/100...u know what i mean? Fake certificate i mean 😆😇 and dare me if any company will even verify ....instead what they verify is deadlines and work produced per hour.and transferable skills...cheers
In my country (Burkina Faso), the general mentality is that if you don't have an internationally recognized piece of paper that backs your claims, you're not going to make a huge profit out of your skills. In my opinion I think it depends on areas and your objectives. For instance, I give courses to local universities and A/E professionals and having a certification will undoubtedly multiply x10 my revenue. SO i'm saving money to get me certified by Autodesk & Adobe.
I will write on my resume that I watched all the Balkan Architect videos :D :D :D

I’m good with revit . I’m looking for a job
@@leaphengsok9056 What an odd place to ask for a job. You miss every shot you don't take... I guess?

My thoughts exactly. If your resume cannot let you express your skills as it is then you better have a certification if youre looking for attention.
I totally agree with this, I've paid for all sorts of certification and courses on lots of different types of software and even interview and business training.

Certification is good in my opinion but at the end of the day is what you can put on the table for the company. Great channel man!
Very good! Self thaught and a good portfolio are key. Thanks for the great videos!

Or sir I'm thinking to join any architect firm or internship so that ill learn more about Revit. Your best Suggestions needed.
I had to take a computer class to get credits, but I knew more than my instructor did.
Most of the certification tests barely scratch the surface and don't address "real world" problems, such as what do you do when the software does do what you think it should?
