Course Code: argiscert
Duration: 21 hours
Prerequisites:

Audience

  • Engineers
  • Field Ecologists
  • Conservation Managers
  • People looking to get started in the field of GIS Analysis
Overview:

ArcGIS* is a geographic information system established by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) for working with maps and geographic information.

This online instructor-led, live training is aimed at Engineers, field ecologists and conservation managers who wish to create data spatial projects in ArcGIS and Use and implement common GIS techniques in ArcGIS to create data

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Output spatial data as visualizations, such as maps.
  • Conduct geostatics on actual data.
  • Implement spatial data analysis, data processing, and mapping with ArcGIS.
  • Analyze spatial data for projects in ArcGIS.

Format of the Course

  • Interactive lecture and discussion.
  • Lots of exercises and practice.
  • Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
  • Practical Case studies and Mini-projects.
