With the release of ArcGIS 9.3 ESRI has revised their introductory Authorized Training materials and titled it “ArcGIS Desktop 9.3 Foundational Training Curriculum". The previous Introduction to ArcGIS offerings have been re-written, re-organized, re-packaged, and released.

Starting in January 2009, ISIS will continue to offer high-quality GIS training and begin teaching courses from this new foundational training program.  Robert Slobodian, the ISIS Center Director, who has many years of teaching and application experience, is authorized by ESRI to teach the following courses:

ArcGIS Desktop II:   Tools and Functionality (3-days)
ArcGIS Desktop III:  GIS Workflows and Analysis (2-days)

Training courses are conducted in our training lab at the ISIS Center which is located in the Industrial Technology Building on the California State University, Fresno campus. Check the schedule below for upcoming training offerings and specific details about each course. If you have questions, call the ISIS Center at 278-4951 and we will be pleased to help sort out your specific GIS  training needs.
 

This 3-day course teaches the range of functionality available in the software and the essential tools for visualizing, creating, managing, and analyzing geographic data. The hands-on course exercises emphasize practice with ArcMap and ArcCatalog (the primary applications included with ArcGIS Desktop software) to perform common GIS tasks and workflows. The tools for creating and managing geographic data, displaying data on maps in different ways, and combining and analyzing data to discover patterns and relationships are highlighted, and you learn how ArcGIS Desktop provides a complete GIS software solution.

This course is designed for those with an education in or workplace experience with GIS but no ArcGIS software experience. This course assumes knowledge of basic GIS concepts and teaches the skills and knowledge needed to take additional ArcGIS courses, including ArcGIS Desktop III: GIS Workflows and Analysis.

Building on the skills and knowledge taught in ArcGIS Desktop II: Tools and Functionality, this 2-day course shows how to apply ArcGIS tools in a workflow context with a focus on working with data stored in a geodatabase and performing geoprocessing and analysis. In the course exercises, you organize and edit data stored in a geodatabase, prepare data for analysis, create and edit geoprocessing models using ModelBuilder, and work through a challenging analysis project.

This course is designed for experienced ArcGIS users who want to learn more about the ArcGIS tools for creating and editing data and GIS analysis.  Students should have completed ArcGIS Desktop II or have equivalent knowledge.
