Proprietary GIS Training

Choose from one of our proprietary courses on Geodatabases or Cartography, or let us build a custom course to suit your needs.

Proprietary training is suited for users who already have some experience with ArcGIS, and are looking to move to the next level of productivity. Familiarity with ArcGIS is assumed, equivalent to the Introduction to ArcGIS I course.

USING ArcGIS WITH GEODATABASES (2 days)

The full power of ArcGIS can only be reached with the Geodatabase. ArcGIS will work with Shapefiles, but Shapefiles cannot work with the advanced functionality in ArcGIS that was designed to work only with the Geodatabase.

This course covers everything you need to know about the Geodatabase, so you can migrate your existing data from Shapefiles, CAD files, and Coverages into the Geodatabase. Once your data is in the Geodatabase, you can take full advantage of the ArcGIS functionality that only works with the Geodatabase. You will learn how make the most out of ArcGIS with Domains and Subtypes, Annotation and Dimensions, Relationship Classes, Route Systems and Linear Referencing, Topology, and Geometric Networks.

CARTOGRAPHY USING ArcGIS (2 days)

This course covers the fundamental mechanics and practical considerations of using ArcGIS for Cartography.

Specific topics covered in this course include: Principles of Map Design, Data Driven Map Production, Database Design for Cartography, Organizing Layers and Attributes for Mapping, Managing Symbology, Labels and Annotation, Using Imagery in Maps, Producing Map Books and Map Series, and Advanced Mapping Concepts such as Generalization, Multiple Feature Representation, Map Update and Database Update.
