GIS & ArcGIS Pro Applications Training Course

The GIS & ArcGIS Pro Applications Training Course equips planners, engineers, analysts, and GIS and data professionals with the knowledge and practical skills needed to use geographic information systems, and ArcGIS Pro in particular, to capture, manage, analyze, and visualize spatial data and to produce maps and spatial analysis that support better planning and decision making. Geographic information systems are used across government, urban planning, utilities, energy, transport, environment, agriculture, telecommunications, and emergency management to answer questions about location, distribution, proximity, and change. ArcGIS Pro is a widely used professional desktop GIS application, and the ability to work with spatial data and perform spatial analysis is an increasingly valuable skill for technical and planning professionals. The course covers GIS concepts and ArcGIS Pro through hands-on practice. Participants learn GIS fundamentals, including spatial data, vector and raster models, coordinate systems and projections, and spatial data sources, and the ArcGIS Pro interface, projects, and geodatabases. The program then addresses working with and managing spatial data, creating and editing features, attribute data and tables, joins and relates, and symbology, labelling, and cartographic map design. Participants cover spatial analysis, including selection and query, proximity analysis such as buffers and overlays, spatial joins, and geoprocessing tools and models, and working with raster data and surface and terrain analysis. Participants also examine geocoding and address data, georeferencing, data quality and topology, 3D visualization, an introduction to spatial statistics, sharing maps and results including layouts and web maps, and an overview of how ArcGIS Pro connects to the wider ArcGIS ecosystem. Applied examples are drawn from planning, infrastructure, environment, and public services. Software version features may change, so the course focuses on transferable concepts and workflows. The course is delivered through step-by-step hands-on exercises, mapping and analysis labs, and an applied GIS project. Participants leave with a GIS concepts reference, an ArcGIS Pro workflow and tools guide, a spatial analysis exercise workbook, a map design and cartography checklist, and a GIS project template. Participants need basic computer skills; no prior GIS experience is required, and the course assumes access to ArcGIS Pro for practical work.
