About this course
This introduction to the GIS course is made for beginners enthusiastic about learning GIs and understanding how to use the location for decision-making. This course uses one of the most popular GIS software, ArcMap, also part of the ArcGIS suite of Applications. We have designed this course also to be a refresher and software proficiency training for all who are already in the industry but maybe a little rusty as far as using ArcMap is concerned; this is the perfect course for you to polish your skill and gain confidence working with ArcMap.
