What our students say about these classes:
“Great introduction—I liked the combination of lecture, textbook, and exercises. The exercises were especially efficient in touching on many different aspects without going into too much detail. Thanks!”
“Well done. I put my GIS skills to use the first week back on the job. Thank you!”
“Good simple explanations. Tough but doable exercises”
“This class is for anyone needing to make accurate maps containing data appropriate for their needs and to share with others who may not be able to get the information accurately and in one place.”
“I liked that there were a lot of examples along the way. I also liked how the examples started fresh with each lesson. In the past, I’ve been in an environment where the examples built on each other, so if you made a small mistake early in the class, it was difficult to fix later on.”
“Very good class. We covered a lot of material, but the instructor managed to cover it in adequate depth and keep it engaging.”
“This class far exceeded my expectations, boosted my confidence in using ArcMap, and is one I recommend as a model for our other training.”
“Well put together, informative, comfortable, helpful, great!”
