ArcGIS 3: Performing Analysis
Strictly by pre-registration only
What is this course about?
Esri Malaysia's intermediate GIS course for experienced users of ArcGIS Desktop, who want to focus on analysis. Suitable for GIS analysts, specialists, and others who manage or conduct GIS analysis projects.
This course teaches a standard workflow you can apply to any GIS analysis. Every analysis begins with a question and has criteria that must be considered. You will learn how the analysis question and criteria drive decisions about what data and tools will generate reliable information. Working with a variety of data and ArcGIS tools, you will perform different types of analysis to efficiently solve spatial problems. This course is taught using ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced and some course exercises use tools provided in the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension.
