Arc GIS for ArcView 8.1 and ArcInfo, part 1 - This new two-day course introduces students to ArcGIS and provides the foundation for becoming a successful ArcView or ArcInfo user. Participants learn how to use ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox and explore how these applications work together to provide a complete GIS software solution. This course covers fundamental GIS concepts, as well as how to create, edit, and georeference spatial data. Attendees learn how to manipulate tabular data, query a GIS database, and present data clearly and efficiently using maps and charts.

Arc GIS for ArcView 8.1 and ArcInfo, part 2 - This new three-day course follows Introduction to ArcGIS for ArcView and ArcInfo (I) and continues to present important concepts and functionality for successfully working with ArcGIS. With further exploration of ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and ArcToolbox, students focus on spatial analysis, data automation of spatial and attribute data, editing, and advanced options for cartographic display and reports.

ArcView 3.2 - This two and ½ day course provides a conceptual overview and hands-on experience using ArcView GIS software. The course teaches basic ArcView GIS functionality and enables participants to quickly take advantage of the software's powerful display and analysis capabilities. Participants are introduced to the ArcView GIS graphical user interface (GUI) and use ArcView GIS to create, edit, display, query, and analyze geographic and tabular data and create presentation-quality maps and charts. The final ½ day focuses on the application of GIS techniques to Maine data

Advanced ArcView 3.2 - This three-day course offers experienced ArcView GIS users in-depth instruction in the software's ability to integrate geographic information. Participants move beyond the basics as they perform GIS analysis using the software's total functionality including new geoprocessing tools. The course helps participants become more productive ArcView GIS users by teaching them advanced topics such as using sample scripts and extensions, converting themes into new map projections, and making projects portable. Realistic class projects and challenging hands-on exercises let participants immediately apply their newly acquired skills.

The classes are lead by either Environmental Systems Research Institute instructors or ESRI authorized business partner instructors. The cost for the training is $250/day and registration for all classes is currently open. Class dates will be set when the registration reaches 10. The maximum class size is 12. Please e-mail Dan Walters (dan.walters@state.me.us) to register or ask questions.
