ArcGIS Pro: Essential Workflows 3 (three) day training programme

The aim of the training is to develop a deeper understanding of the functionality of ArcGIS Pro and its application in practice. Participants will learn advanced skills in using ArcGIS Pro – data creation and editing, querying, spatial analysis, spatial referencing, etc.
The aim of the course is to perform GIS tasks with ArcGIS Pro. Create high quality maps with the latest version of ArcGIS Desktop. Symbolize, classify, create map text, display geographic data. Create and edit new geographic data. Manage geographic data from shapefiles, geodatabases and other data formats. Access element information in a table. Work with tables. Compose queries and analyse GIS data. Solve geographical problems using analysis. Create models. Create map images and export to PDF, JPEG etc. or print maps to A5, A4 etc. or other custom sizes. Create, share and use web maps.
