This course will qualify students in ArcGIS Desktop 10.x and in particular in ArcMap, ArcCatalog and ArcTool Box. The training material will be focused on vector and raster data models, how to handle them and store them in a geodatabase, their relationship within a geodatabase and on how to develop final cartographic products and maps.

Students will be trained in the creation and editing of vector and raster data, in the usage of basic greoprocessing tools available in ArcGIS 10.x, in the management of a geodatabase, also providing valuable information in the development of high-quality mapping products.

About this course

- Highlight the importance and utility of a Geographic Information System (GIS), its integration and applicability in a variety of professional sectors.
- General overview about the essential GIS concepts and about al the basic skills needed in handling ArcGIS 10.x.
- Learn about GIS key tools in an appropriate and professional way, usage of vector and raster data information in order to develop different operations and spatial analysis.
- Find about all possible difficulties which you may encounter in the execution of GIS projects, and their solutions through practical exercises.
- Gain experience in data preparation, layout development, map creation and high quality products delivery.

This course is aimed at students and professionals related to engineering, architecture, biology, geography, geology and environmental sciences interested in the applications of geographic information systems in their professional activities.

No prior experience with GIS is required. The course starts from the very beginning. However, you will need basic IT skills and a computer with internet connection to be able to undertake this course.

GISCI accredited and acknowledged Courses.
CPD points and a graduation certificate will be provided (the number of CPD points depends of the course and the course duration).

Once we receive your request, we will send you the course content as well as the procedure to register on the course, payment options and functioning of the online platform. We are available for any other enquiry.

The usage of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is rapidly growing, becoming an essential tool in a variety of business sectors like engineering, environment, geography, mining or geomarketing.

Among GIS tools, ArcGIS is one of the most used GIS software worldwide, the most stable and versatile, comprised by a set of integrated applications, with a solid documentation over a wide range of tools being also supported by a large community.

ArcGIS provides contextual tools for data visualization, mapping and spatial analysis, connecting and combining information from varied sources (local and online), offering complex capabilities in order to explore, gain and enquire knowledge, that will lead to the best decisions. It can be also handled using a user interface as well as in command line using specific programming languages, like Python.

Esri (creators of the ArcGIS program) provides a free licence for a 2 month trail. You only need to create an account, download the program and follow the installation steps (visit their website). Nevertheless, we are available to solve any problem you may have.

1. INTRODUCTION TO GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Introduction.
Definition and basic concepts.
Applications and uses of Geographic Information Systems.
Geographic information: vector data models, raster data models and other data models (CAD, TIN, etc.). Main features of each data module, advantages and disadvantages.

Introduction to ArcGIS Desktop: ArcMap, ArCatalog, ArcToolbox, ArcScene and ArcGlobe.
Arcmap interface, extensions and tools. Verification of the correct functioning of the software and assessment.

2. VECTOR DATA MODEL. INFORMATION DISPLAY

Information layers: how to add layers, features and attribute tables.
Tools to examine data: search and queries.
Selection tools: selection per feature, selection by spatial location and capture information.
Symbology layers: simple symbology, by category, by quantity and through graphics.
Other display options: labelling and transparencies. Practical exercises (load layers, types of selection, symbology) and assessment.

3. COORDINATE SYSTEMS, PROJECTIONS AND GEOREFERENCING

Introduction to Coordinate systems and projections.
Definition of Coordinate Systems.
Coordinate system transformation. ED50 or ETRS89 geographic database repro- jection.
Georeferencing of images, layers and CAD files. Practical exercises (define, project, image georeferencing and CAD) and assess- ment.

4. VECTOR DATA MODEL. EDITING AND CREATING INFORMATION

Creation and editing of spatial data. - Creation of spatial data: Editing tools bar. Digitization techniques. - Exporting and importing spatial information files from different formats (CAD, DGN, Shp, ASCII, etc.). Create layers from CAD files. - Modify existing layers. - Creation of layers from coordinates.
Creation and editing of data in the attribute table: - Structure of the Attribute table. - Types of data included in an attribute table. - Modify information from a table. - Calculate geometric information (Surface, perimeter, length, etc.). - Creation of statistics from the table. - Export tables to Excel and other formats. Creation of reports and graphics. Practical exercises (create layers, digitize, modify attribute tables, add fields, geo- metric calculations, field calculator) and assessment.

5. DATABASE MANAGEMENT

Design of a database.
Joins with Access databases and Excel files. (Table relations).
Spatial joins. Obtain statistics from database information and spatial position of the elements creating the layer. Practical exercises (join database and spatial relations) and assessment.
