Advanced ArcPy for ArcGIS Pro

£1,560.00

This course builds upon the concepts taught in the Creating Python Scripts for ArcGIS Pro course. The course uses a combination of lectures, student activities, demonstrations and laboratory-based exercises to work with the ArcGIS Pro project, accessing the geodatabase as well as delving deeper into the ArcPy site package.

The course will contain a number of exercises for you to work through on the day using the PyCharm developer environment and the built in ArcGIS Notebook environment.

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 15 CPD points. Click here to find out more.

NOTE: This course is an updated version of the Mastering ArcPy using Python for ArcMap 10x course which has been redesigned to take into account some of the enhancements offered by the Arcpy version of ArcGIS Pro.

NOTE: Attendees should already have attended the Getting Started with the Python Scripting Language course or have the same equivalent knowledge.
Attendance of the Creating Python Scripts for ArcGIS Pro course is not essential but is strongly recommended as some of the topics in the Advanced ArcPy for ArcGIS Pro course follow on from the initial 3 day course.
