Applied Software Wins Autodesk Authorized Training Center Awards
Each year, Autodesk Authorized Training Center (ATC) Partners and Instructors are recognized with awards based on their instructional performance and customer feedback. This year, Applied Software's trainers were awarded top instructor awards for 2008.
Rick France was named Autodesk Authorized Training Center Instructor of the Year for the Americas Group. He surpassed more than 3,300 other instructors to win top honors. Rick is an industry veteran with more than 28 years experience assisting clients with a wide variety of Autodesk solutions. Rick has also recently been selected by Autodesk as a subject matter expert for AutoCAD MEP and is responsible for rewriting the AutoCAD MEP manuals used by students worldwide.
This is the second year that an Applied Software instructor was awarded Instructor of the Year accolades. Rick follows fellow trainer Rabi Sidwai who was Instructor of the Year for 2007. Rabi is an Implementation Certified Expert who specializes in Autodesk Revit Architecture and Autodesk Revit Structure.
Applied Software's Revit instructors received the North America award for distinguished performance in Autodesk Revit Architecture. Applied Software's instructors are at the forefront of helping architectural, engineering and construction firms migrate from traditional approaches to BIM.
BIM is a method of generating and managing building data during a building's lifecycle, from design through construction to facility management. The BIM process was developed to bridge communication between the architecture, engineering and construction teams and the owner to streamline workflow, increase productivity and improve quality during the design and construction of buildings as well as provide valuable facility information to building owners.
