ArcGIS 9 Essentials & Beyond Course (2 Days)
General Outline:
This course covers the ‘full range’ of the basics in ArcGIS. We cater for all students in this course, whether they have been self-taught, have been using ArcGIS simply for a while, or have no experience at all in the program.
In the course, you will work with actual mapping data, GPS data and other suitable data sources to create geographical maps and map databases. You will also learn how to use powerful queries to interrogate map data and display the information you require. Improving your map presentations is also covered.
This course is a great springboard into using ArcGIS to its maximum advantage.
