Desktop I: Getting Started with GIS (16 hours) 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. Cost $995
Desktop II: Tools and Functionality (24 hours) This course teaches the range of functionality available in ArcGIS Desktop software and its essential tools for visualizing, creating, managing, and analyzing geographic data. Course exercises emphasize practice with ArcMap and ArcCatalog (the primary applications included with ArcGIS Desktop software) to perform common GIS tasks and workflows. By the end of the course, you will be prepared to start working with the software on your own. Cost $1,500
Desktop III: GIS Workflows and Analysis (16 hours) Understanding how and when to apply ArcGIS tools is the key to creating an efficient GIS workflow. Building on the skills and knowledge taught in ArcGIS Desktop II: Tools and Functionality, this course teaches how to apply ArcGIS tools with a focus on working with data stored in a geodatabase. You will organize and prepare data for analysis, create geoprocessing models, and work through a challenging analysis project. The workflow taught in this course is applicable to all types of GIS analysis. Cost $995
