ArcGIS Desktop 3: Analysis & Workflows

Official Esri Developed Course

Course Overview:

This two-day course, taught by an Esri Certified Trainer, builds on the skills learned in the ArcGIS Desktop 2: Tools & Functionality course. It shows students how to apply ArcGIS tools in a workflow context with a focus on working with data stored in a geodatabase and performing geoprocessing and analysis. In the course exercises, you organize and edit data stored in a geodatabase, prepare data for analysis, create and edit geoprocessing models using ModelBuilder, and work through a challenging analysis project.

Target Audience:

This course is designed for intermediate ArcGIS users who want to learn more about analysis and geoprocessing in ArcGIS tools including ArcToolbox and ModelBuilder.
