Check your local Tech schools and the autodesk website http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/event/search?siteID=123112&id=7609912 for classes. CADClips.com also has some very good tutorials. Google Revit training in your area as there are a lot of Reps around that are certified to do training at home or the office.

I am actually in the process of putting together a website with tutorials. Could you give me some pointers for the type of presentations you would like?? The problem I have with most of the stuff online is that it is not presented by someone who works in architecture, and the videos are for making pretty pictures and nothing of use for real world CD's and construction.

Almost everyone I know/work with is self-taught.
Classes are a tricky investment. You could get someone to rattle off a years worth of experience in a couple days, but if you're human, less than 10% of it would stick in your memory, or have context, and you'd be out hundreds or thousands of dollars.
I suggest organically learning.
If you are not in an office, applicable experience would be more difficult to come by, however. Nothing like a deadline and a crappy renovation project to make you learn gritty and efficient techniques. So... I don't know what would be best.

Rod23, what I would love and what I really haven't seen one the Revit side is 'making of' tutorials. Archicad have a YouTube series now how they reconstruct classic buildings with their latest version, examples include the Guggenheim, an old English cathedral, etc. Very interesting as it shows very different approaches.

I too agree with an organic / self learning process. I have been 'the teacher' for 20+ years and unless you have a ton of $$ and time to invest that option is tricky.
I seriously suggest you invest in the CADclips REVIT videos and teach yourself. The CADclips are vast, in depth, organized and as detailed as you need.
* Email Daryl from the 'Contacts' page at the CADclips web site and mention REVITCITY I can can provide a 25% discount.

My firm bought a series from CADClips.com and they were very helpful, I would reccomend them as well as searching tutorials on youtube for specifics.

Agreed. . . . and thank you very much.
If you search Youtube for the word 'CADclip' or go to the CADclips Channel you should see 100's of REVIT videos.
