Our GIS Workshops and Training Classes
are designed to meet the needs of Faculty, Students, and Professionals
who are leaning GIS for the first time or need to migrate to
the latest version of ESRI’s GIS software.
Ideally, you will have an opportunity to use GIS shortly after your training.
Otherwise, you should wait for another class. Generally, GIS classes
are offered in January, March, May, and October.
