Revit MEP Tutorials?

I have been looking at it for quite a while videos etc... and it does look quite impressive.

just realised we have a full revit model at work filled with MEP, can I take all the families from that?

Oh, absolutely. Take all you can. A "Family" is like a "Dynamic Block" in AutoCAD. Same exact concept.

How do I take all the families then? and save them somewhere

Another resource to check out is the AUGI website. Join (it is free) and look in the Library section for AutoCAD MEP 2012. The pickings are slim but you'll find three Revit MEP articles and a link to Revit Experts.

Best thing to do is just forget AutoCAD altogether. If you want, you can Link in a DWG file and use that to "draw" overtop it.

is Revit MEP the way forward then? it seems like alot of companies are asking for it these days over Autocad MEP

Yes it is, although it still needs many more years of maturing. It's better to go ahead and learn it now if you can.
