See Detailed Descriptions of Classes

How does it work?

You can sign up for any number and combination of classes you wish. If you only need one or two then you would only sign up for those which interest you. If you would like to take the entire series, that's a good option as well.

These are one hour, small classes for which you will receive a written exercise and relevant files one week prior to class. On the day and time of your class you open ArcGIS on your desktop and dial into a toll-free number to join the class. A live instructor will guide you through the exercise and take question during class. The instructor will also reserve a few minutes at the end of class for more question and answer.
