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. Through instructor-led sessions, demonstrations and exercises, you will learn about the ribbon-style interface, project-based organisation, and key capabilities of ArcGIS Pro. You will become familiar with GIS and ArcGIS Pro terminology, practice with tools for mapping and visualization, editing data, performing analysis and sharing your work.

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

Note: After completing this course you may wish to attend ArcGIS Pro 2 – Essential Workflows for ArcGIS Pro. The Essential Workflow course builds upon the skills learnt during this course by introducing techniques such as image management and advanced editing.

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.

“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).”
Jayne Glass – University of the Highlands and Islands

“The course has been incredibly helpful, there are great resources and it was taught at a pace that was engaging but easy to follow. There was a good balance of lecture type learning and active learning through activities.” Emma, East Sussex County Council

“As an introduction to ArcGIS Pro the level of this course was ideal and covered all the necessary elements and understanding to get up and running with this software and realising its potential. The course was online and all the connectivity worked fine with no real disruption in bandwidth. All the course material was supplied in advance with clear instructions on what was expected and how to connect on the day. I would have no hesitation in recommending this course for those dipping their toes in the water for the first time with ArcGIS Pro.” Paul, UKHO
