This course introduces the fundamental concepts of ArcGIS Desktop software and teaches how to use it to visualize, create, manage, and analyze geographic data. In course exercises, you will use ArcGIS tools to perform common GIS tasks and workflows. By the end of the course, you will understand the range of ArcGIS Desktop functionality and be prepared to work with the software on your own to create GIS maps, work with geographic data, and perform GIS analysis.

This three-day course is taught by an ESRI-authorized instructor. It builds upon skills learned in ArcGIS v10 Desktop I and is also designed for GIS professionals and others who have GIS knowledge but no GIS software experience.
