Introduction
to ArcGIS I version 9.x
This two-day course introduces students to ArcGIS and provides the foundation for becoming a successful ArcGIS user. Participants learn how to use ArcMap and ArcCatalog and explore how these applications work together to provide a complete GIS software solution. The course covers fundamental GIS concepts as well as how to create, edit, and work with georeferenced spatial data. Attendees learn how to manipulate tabular data, query a GIS database, and present data clearly and efficiently using maps and charts.
Introduction
to ArcGIS II version 9.x
This three-day course follows Introduction to ArcGIS I and continues to present important concepts and functionality for successfully working with ArcGIS. With further exploration of ArcMap and ArcCatalog, students focus on spatial analysis, automation of spatial and attribute data, editing, and advanced options for cartographic display and reports. Hands-on exercises teach ArcGIS procedures in the context of solving real-world problems. Examples and exercises use data from a variety of application areas. A portion of the class is reserved for carrying out an analysis project and applying many of the new skills and techniques learned in this course. Students conduct queries, perform spatial analysis, and present their results in a hard-copy map and report.
Note: One of the requirements for becoming an ESRI authorized course instructor is take the course from an ESRI instructor, not an ESRI authorized instructor.
Working with ArcGIS Spatial Analyst
ArcGIS Spatial Analyst software provides tools for conducting sophisticated spatial analyses and creating different types of spatial models. This three-day course covers fundamental raster data concepts and shows how to use ArcGIS Spatial Analyst tools to create, process, and analyze spatial data. Students focus on problems that are best solved in a raster environment such as surface analysis and distance measurement. The use of ArcGIS Spatial Analyst tools in the ArcGIS 9 geoprocessing environment is emphasized, and students learn how to access ArcGIS Spatial Analyst functionality through ArcToolbox, the command line, ModelBuilder, and scripting.

Introduction to ArcGIS I for Natural Resources version 9.x
This two-day course introduces students to ArcGIS and provides the foundation for becoming a successful ArcGIS user. Participants learn how to use ArcMap and ArcCatalog and explore how these applications work together to provide a complete GIS software solution. The course covers fundamental GIS concepts as well as how to create, edit, and work with georeferenced spatial data. Attendees learn how to manipulate tabular data, query a GIS database, and present data clearly and efficiently using maps and charts.
This course is the ESRI Introduction to ArcGIS I course with an ESRI approved custom exercise book using forestry data.
Geoprocessing
and Python ArcGIS 9
The objectives of this four-day course are:
- To give the student a good understanding of geoprocessing in ArcGIS 9
- To help
the student develop basic programming skills in Python
- To show
the student how to use Python to customize tools in the geoprocessing
environment.
This four-day
course explores geoprocessing in ArcGIS 9, the Python scripting
language, and the use of Python in geoprocessing. Topics covered
are:
- Geoprocessing
- Basics
of geoprocessing
- Working
with toolboxes
- Toolsets
and tools
- Environmental
settings
- The
Command Line window
- ModelBuilding
- The
ModelBuilder window
- Exporting
a model to a Python script
- Python
- Introducing
the Python language and PythonWin
- How
Python runs programs
- How
you run programs
- Python
types and operators
- Python
statements and syntax
- Functions
- Modules
- Exceptions
and tools
- The Geoprocessor
Object
- Using
tools and methods
- Listing
data and multiple inputs
- Script
tools and messages
- Using
cursors to access data
- Working
with geodatabases.
The Python
portions of the course use “Learning Python” by Mark
Lutz and David Ascher as a textbook.
