The class is being held on April 23-25 in Norcross Georgia. This class still has a few remaining seats if you are interested. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN>This three day course teaches the range of functionality available in the ArcGIS desktop software and the essential tools for visualizing, creating, managing, and analyzing geographic data. This hands-on course uses exercises to emphasize practice with ArcMap and ArcCatalog (the primary applications included with ArcGIS Desktop software) to perform common GIS tasks and workflows. The tools for creating and managing geographic data, displaying data on maps in different ways, and combining and analyzing data to discover patterns and relationships are highlighted, and students learn how ArcGIS Desktop provides a complete GIS software solution. By the end of the course, students will be prepared to start working with the software on their own.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The cost for the course is $1,325.00 per student. I am willing to offer a 10% discount to all SHRUG Members. Just make sure to indicate you are a SHRUG member on your registration form. Additional discounts are available for organizations that register two or more people. This course can be used as education points toward getting and maintaining the GISP certification. Other Professional Certifications may also accept it.

I better understand how to apply the class work to GIS concepts using different GIS techniques. Tripp Corbin is a Great Instructor! He is very knowledgeable of the material and he presented it on a level so you can understand it. Thank you so much for providing me with information to help me better understand the Tools and Functionality in ArcGIS that I use in my work place.</i>” - Jeri Anderson - Environmental Health Technician - ATSDR/CDC<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>“Very well-done course for professionals. I had received some previous training at a graduate school level, several years ago, and this course did a much better job of providing real applications and workflows that I can use in completing projects. Tripp did a great job of making the material easy to understand and encouraging participation. Also, he made a special effort to include examples based upon the work that the students hope to complete using GIS, and he also included some additional information and workflows based upon the actual applications that we would require for our work.”</i> – Erin Murphy – GIS Analyst<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Tripp Corbin, MCP, CFM, GISP</span></i></b><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'> </span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>| Chief Executive Officer</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1F497D'><br></span><b><span style='font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#244061'><a href="http://www.egisassociates.com/"><span style='color:#244061;text-decoration:none'>eGIS Associates, Inc.</span></a></span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><a href="mailto:tcorbin@egisassociates.com">tcorbin@egisassociates.com</a> | <a href="www.egisassociates.com">www.egisassociates.com</a> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>678-710-9710 ext 21 | 866-</span><span lang=EN style='color:#244061'>304-3864 Fax</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Esri Certified Trainer | Esri Certified Desktop Associate</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
