Description:
This two day course is designed to introduce researchers to the industry leading GIS software – ArcGIS. Participants will learn about data management, spatial analysis (including proximity analysis) and data presentation. No previous experience of using GIS is required.
The course covers:
- Introduction to GIS theory
- ArcGIS – ArcMap and ArcCatalog
- Data Management
- Spatial analysis
- Data editing
- Data presentation – creating maps
By the end of the course participants will:
- Understand the fundamental concepts of GIS
- Be able to carry out basic spatial analysis
- Be able to create and edit spatial data
- Be able to create a map layout – including North Arrow, Scale bar etc
- Be able to use some basic geoprocessing tools
The course is designed for users from all disciplines who are interesting in learning how to get the most out of their data using spatial analysis and mapping techniques.
No prior knowledge of GIS required, however, participants are expected to be computer literate and confident at navigating their way around MS Windows and office applications – specifically Excel.
