| ArcGIS Desktop I: Getting Started with GIS | |
|
July 21-July 22 |
| This is an ESRI Authorized course. This course helps you understand what GIS is, what it can do, and how others are using it. You learn the fundamental concepts and basic functions of a GIS, the properties of GIS maps, and the structure of a GIS database. In course exercises, you develop basic software skills by working with ArcGIS to visualize geographic data, create maps, query a GIS database, analyze data using common analysis tools, and solve geographic problems using a systematic approach. This course gives you the foundational training you need to take ArcGIS Desktop II: Tools and Functionality. Each student receives printed lecture and exercise manuals. This course is designed for those who have no prior education or workplace experience with GIS or ArcGIS software. Managers and GIS support staff members who infrequently use ArcGIS software and would simply like to understand how GIS fits into their organization will also benefit. | |
