ArcGIS 2 – Essentials of ArcGIS 10.x for Desktop

£955.00

This course is the second of a two part foundation in ArcGIS Desktop (version 10.x). The ArcGIS 2 course expands on the subjects covered in the ArcGIS 1 – Fundamentals of ArcGIS 10.x for Desktop course and introduces new functions. These include managing data in a geodatabase, enhanced symbology and labelling options and the use of analysis tools. The creation of map books and publishing a map to ArcGIS Online are also covered.

You will be provided with the data and exercises so that after the course you can work through them again in your own time.

Please note that ArcMap has now entered Mature Support and will be retired in March 2026. You should consider moving to ArcGIS Pro if possible. We will be removing ArcMap courses from our curriculum in July 2024.

Please note that this course is for users of ArcMap. If you are using ArcGIS Pro please see our ArcGIS Pro courses.
NOTE: ArcGIS 1 or equivalent knowledge is a pre-requisite for attending this course. ArcGIS 1 is the most important course that you can do as it gives you a good introduction to the most important functions of ArcGIS Desktop. In order for you (and the other delegates on this course) to get the most from this training it will be assumed that you have the level of knowledge shown below. If you cannot do these tasks then you must attend the ArcGIS 1 course first:

  • Use the different views of the table of contents (list, source, selection).
  • Select features using select by rectangle and select by attribute.
  • Display your data using text values and numeric values.
  • Create a new file geodatabase and a new feature class.
  • Start an edit session and use the Create Features window to create a simple feature.
  • Create an A3 landscape layout page with surround information.
  • Create an online map using ArcGIS.com.

Continuing professional development (CPD) is an integral part of applying for and maintaining Chartered Geographer accreditation. Attendance of this course will provide the attendee with 10 CPD points. Click here to find out more
