Made in Australia
Many specialist software courses are built around data and conditions suitable for the USA. In Australia we often have a better way, so our course has been built for Australian conditions and data. Rest assured that we do still adhere to the usual ESRI training standards. The practice sessions have an appeal to a broad cross section of users from Botanists to Engineers.
Trainers with at least 10 years experience
Our trainers work with GIS every day and know how to apply the technology to a variety of situations. You can use us to bounce your ideas and help you better understand the software in your situation.
Prerequisites
This course is for those with little or no desktop mapping or GIS experience; however, registrants should be familiar with Microsoft Windows.
Schedule
The course runs over 2 days and will start at 9 am and finish at 4:30 pm each day
