GEOMAP Adds Dates For GIS Software Training

The Institute for Geospatial Analysis & Mapping (GEOMAP) at Illinois State University has added more dates for its training courses on the use of advanced Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software. 

GEOMAP is now offering “Introduction to ArcGIS I,” the premier training on ArcGIS 9.2 software, on Feb. 22-23 and March 7-8, in addition to its already-scheduled April 11- 12, and May 8-9 dates.  GEOMAP is offering a limited time price of $200 per person, which includes textbooks and other class materials.  The intensive two-day training sessions are intended for those new to GIS or those wishing to explore further their knowledge of GIS software.  Courses will be held in Felmley Hall at Illinois State.

ArcGIS is full-featured GIS software for visualization, creation, management, and analysis of geographic data and is made by ESRI, a leading producer of GIS technology.  Training sessions are conducted by GEOMAP research associate Gretchen Knapp, one of two ESRI-authorized instructors in the State of Illinois.                        

GIS applications are used by a wide range of professionals including geographers, planners, engineers, architects, environmental scientists, epidemiologists, market analysts and others to analyze spatial data. Land use management, political redistricting, flood risk assessment, emergency response, transportation, marketing, public health, wildlife resource management, and crime prevention also depend on GIS.
