Course Descriptions:

ArcGIS 1: This course teaches what a GIS is and what you can do with it. Working with various components of the ArcGIS system, you will create GIS maps, explore and analyze the data behind the maps, and apply methods to easily share your maps. By the end of the course, you will have a solid understanding of how GIS maps and ArcGIS tools are used to visualize real-world features, discover patterns, obtain information, and communicate that information to others.

Who Should Attend

Individuals who do not have any prior GIS education or workplace experience with GIS.

Learn How To

Quickly create and share a GIS map using ArcGIS web-based tools and content.
Find and organize geographic data and other GIS resources for a mapping project.
Accurately display features on a GIS map and efficiently access information about them.
Analyze a GIS map to identify where features that meet specific criteria are located.
Share GIS maps and analysis results so they can be viewed using desktop applications, websites, and mobile devices.

ArcGIS 2: In this course, you will acquire fundamental skills needed to author, share, and use geographic information and maps across the ArcGIS system. You will learn how to efficiently find, explore, manage, and analyze geographic data and create informative maps that showcase your work. The course covers a variety of techniques to effectively share GIS maps and resources with decision makers, stakeholders, and the public.

GIS professionals and others who have an introductory-level knowledge of GIS concepts and limited ArcGIS experience.

Use ArcGIS software and content to create high-quality maps that combine data from different sources.
Organize, create, and edit geographic data so that it is accurate and up to date.
Manage, symbolize, and label map layers to support visualization and data exploration.
Design an attractive page layout for maps that will be printed.
Apply a standard workflow to analyze GIS data and solve spatial problems.
Deliver maps and analysis results to multiple platforms so they are accessible to other ArcGIS users and to non-GIS users.
