ArcGIS Training Classes:
Intro to ArcGIS / Key Skill-Building & Perspectives* / 2-3 days
This course introduces the key skills and perspectives needed to utilize ArcGIS to visualize and analyze data, create maps, and query a geodatabase. Students will use ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox and new editing tools. The course culminates with a brief look ahead at cartography and analysis.
Intro to ArcGIS / Versions for:
- Land Planning and Natural Resource Management / Multi-discipline
- Inventory and Monitoring / Multi-discipline
- Risk / Impact Analysis
- Ecology and Wildlife Biology
- Heritage Teams / Managing Historic and Cultural Assets
- Fire and Fuel Management / Prescribed Burn Teams
- Recreation Planning and Management
Adding ArcGIS Tools and Functionality* / 2-3 days
This course develops more advanced skills using ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox to conduct more complicated queries and analyses. Key topics - using the geodatbase to store and manage data, data handling and accuracy, additional skill-building in classifying, labeling, and symbolizing data, using cartographic representations, adopting map and editing templates to speed map-making and editing, producing maps for different purposes / fast-maps to presentation maps, creating data from XY coordinates - all geared to ArcGIS in NRM planning and decision-making.
*Intro to ArcGIS and Adding ArcGIS Tools and Functionality are easily combined in a three day format.
Advanced Analysis and Workflow Automation Using Esri's ModelBuilder / 2-3 days
This course introduces powerful tools for conducting complex analyses, geoprocessing, and workflow automation tasks. Learn how to build and share effective reusable workflows and models! Students gain insight and perspective - planning for analysis, assessing analytical aims and outcomes, engaging scientists and other experts, preparing data and considering data issues, defining workflows, selecting tools, conducting analysis, validating results, and documenting models for reuse and sharing. Important to NRM, the resulting models are repeatable, transferable, and defensible. Tools used: ArcToolbox, Spatial Analyst (raster analysis), and ModelBuilder. Exercises vary to feature temporal analysis, time-series animation, geostatistics, terrain modeling, 3D Analyst, Network Analyst, and ArcScene. This is a good one to consider in a “learning while doing” format. Bring your team together to automate key workflows, powerful!
Building Better Maps / Fast Track to Cartography and Map Making / 1-2 days
This bright and colorful course focuses on map making and cartography considering varying approaches and audiences. Examples include producing effective field maps, developing maps for reports and publication, presenting maps in public forums, and supporting legal scenarios. Students gain skills and perspectives in effective map design, cartography, cartographic representation, geodatabase annotation, applying style-guides, deploying standards, and considering data retention, documentation, and reproducibility at key milestones.
End of Field Season Data Loading and Analysis Workshop / 1-2 days
Wondering what to do with all the data collected in field season? Take advantage of a group workshop centered on data loading, early analysis, and presentation.
Leveraging the Geodatabase / 2 hours to 3 days
Lasso the power of working with geodatabases. This series establishes the skills needed for effective data creation, editing, and management in a geodatabase environment. Several options are available, from introducing casual users to key concepts to detailed skill-building for data stewards.
