Made in Australia -
This is not a standard ESRI course that uses data from the USA. The practice sessions were developed in Australia and adhere to the usual ESRI training standards. We used our experience from more than ten years of GIS training to develop this course. The material is based on publicly available data from Geosciences Australia as well as data that have been made available by the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries and Water. The practice sessions have an appeal to a broad cross section of users from Botanists to Engineers.
Prerequisites -
This course is for those with little or no desktop mapping or GIS experience; however, registrants should be familiar with Microsoft Windows.
Added Value -
Course participants will receive one month of free telephone support on the course material. In fact, we will phone you to ask how you are going with ArcGIS 9.
