LENGTH OF CLASS: Three days (24 hours).

OVERVIEW

ArcGIS Desktop software is an integrated system that includes all the tools needed to get the most out of a GIS. The course ArcGIS Desktop II: Tools and Functionality teaches the range of functionality available in the software and the essential tools for visualizing, creating, managing, and analyzing geographic data. The hands-on course exercises emphasize practice with ArcMap and ArcCatalog (the primary applications included with ArcGIS Desktop software) to perform common GIS tasks and workflows. The tools for creating and managing geographic data, displaying data on maps in different ways, and combining and analyzing data to discover patterns and relationships are highlighted, and you learn how ArcGIS Desktop provides a complete GIS software solution. By the end of the course, you will be prepared to start working with the software on your own.
