Are you sure you are ready? Esri’s certification exams are not easy, even if you have been a user for many years. These exams, like others from Microsoft, Cisco, and Comptia, test the full breadth of the software’s capability. In the case of ArcGIS Desktop Associate Certification, this means everything from cartography to editing to analysis and everything in between. You need a secret weapon that will help you see where you stand and where you might need some time to refresh your skills. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>eGIS Associates is holding an <a href="http://www.egisassociates.com/index.php/desktop_assoc_exam_prep.html">ArcGIS Desktop Associate Certification Exam Prep</a> class on April 16-19.

I don't think I would have passed the exam without it. I called it my Secret Weapon. The practice exams allowed me to become familiar with the wording and structure of the questions which alleviated the test anxiety I usually experience. The instructor is engaging and knowledgeable, the course material inspires confidence and helps guide the self-study process.”</i> - Tamarin Gullett-Tyrrell, GIS Specialist, Cherokee County Georgia<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><em><span lang=EN style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>“This class was a great tool for helping me prepare for the ArcGIS Desktop Associate Exam.
