What a year 2020 has been. Covid-19 related restrictions on face-to-face gatherings required that we pivot to online GIS instruction early this year. To ensure that our students receive the same value we have tailored the King County GIS training program to the new instructor-led but remote-learning environment.

The King County GIS Center’s 2021 GIS training calendar includes new small-group, instructor-led, online classes through December of next year. Our students find that instructor-led online training in small groups (no more than seven students) provides the ideal learning environment for developing hands-on GIS skills.
