This two day course will introduce those new to GIS to the essential concepts you will need to kick-start your productivity with ArcGIS Pro.

“The course has exceeded my expectations. We have covered a lot in two days and I feel well-equipped to work with the software on my own. The training manual is excellent, particularly the structured exercises. I am sure that it will be very useful to return to the manual, along with the class exercises (thank you for providing these on a USB). ”
Jayne Glass – University of the Highlands and Islands
“Very good introduction – given me the confidence to start getting to know the software and saved me a lot of time”
Andrew Holden – Henderson Global Investors
