Querying Data using ArcGIS

This Anderson training course is designed to provide participants with comprehensive skills in querying and analyzing spatial data using ArcGIS. ArcGIS is a powerful geographic information system (GIS) used for working with maps and geographic information. This course will cover the fundamental concepts of spatial data, querying techniques, and data analysis using ArcGIS tools.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the basics of spatial data and GIS
• Learn how to use ArcGIS tools for querying and analyzing spatial data
• Gain practical skills in creating, managing, and analyzing geodatabases
• Develop the ability to apply querying techniques to solve real-world spatial problems
• Enhance decision-making through spatial data analysis

This Anderson training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• GIS professionals
• Data analysts
• Environmental scientists
• Urban planners
• Researchers and academics
• Anyone interested in learning how to query and analyze spatial data using ArcGIS

This  training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The facilitator will provide interactive presentation that incorporates slides, videos, group discussion, and practical exercises to examine all aspects of the topic.
