ArcGIS Pro Course, Advanced level

ONLINE TRAINING

START DATE: 8TH OF MAY | 10TH OF JULY (80 hours)

PRICE: 240€ (Standard fee) | 216€ (Student / Unemployed fee)

This course will qualify students in the advanced functionalities of ArcGIS PRO. The training material will be focused on: vector and raster data models, geodatabase management, 2D and 3D data visualization, topology creation and network analysis.

Students who register for this online course will have access to our virtual e-learning platform (which is available 24 hours). Here, they will find the course content, the practical and evaluation exercises, the forum discussion, and much more. One of the benefits of this course is that students can receive real-time support and assistance from the instructor whenever needed. The support for course-related issues is provided via direct messages and forum discussions on the platform, as well as via email or online meetings.

GOALS

Emphasize the significance and utility of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), particularly in the development of complex spatial analyses with applications in engineering design, topography, geology, and hydrology.
Learn about ModelBuilder, which can be used to create complex tools, connect them, and automate workflows.
Learn about the benefits of a geodatabase, such as: the possibility of topological correction of vector layers, network analysis (capabilities of finding optimal routes, accessibility studies, and so on).
Develop your skills and gain experience in data preparation, layout development, map creation, and much more.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why study ArcGIS Pro?

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are becoming an indispensable tool in a wide range of business sectors, including engineering, environment, geography, mining, and geomarketing.

Among GIS tools, ArcGIS is one of the most widely used, the most stable and versatile, comprised of a set of integrated applications, with solid documentation covering a wide range of tools and supported by a large community.

ArcGIS provides contextual tools for data visualization, mapping, and spatial analysis, connecting and combining information from various sources (local and online), and providing complex capabilities to explore, gain, and enquire knowledge to make the best decisions. It can also be handled through a user interface as well as through the command line using specific programming languages such as Python.

Do I need previous knowledge in ArcGIS Pro?

Yes, knowledge similar to that taught in the ArcGIS Pro – Beginner Level Course is required.

I don’t have the ArcGIS Pro program. What can I do?

ArcGIS PRO software comes with a 21-day free trial license. All you have to do is create an account, download the program, and follow the installation instructions (found on the website). We will, however, assist you if you encounter any difficulties.

METHODOLOGY

Moodle, the world’s most popular learning platform, is used to deliver our online courses. It is a highly adaptable Learning Management System that can be used to conduct and access courses, complete practical exercise tasks, interact with teaching staff in person, or benefit from support and resources at any time.

The online platform is available 24 hours a day, and the student can request assistance at any time. The instructors will serve as supervisors throughout the training process, assisting students with any difficulties they may encounter along the way.

The course is divided into modules, making it simple for students to find training material, download information, complete practical exercises, and take assessments to validate their newly acquired skills. The instructors will assist students throughout the course, providing progressive help and information based on their progress.
