Arcgis course

Lesson 1 • Overview of the ArcGIS Platform

Surveys Esri's product family including ArcGIS Pro, Online, and Enterprise. Learners identify which tool fits each task type.

Lesson 2 • Creating and Managing Projects

Explains the ArcGIS Pro project structure including geodatabases and folder connections. Learners create, save, and organise a project correctly.

Lesson 3 • Navigating the ArcGIS Pro Interface

Covers the ribbon, panes, map view, and catalogue. Learners gain confidence moving through the interface without external guidance.

Lesson 4 • Installing and Configuring ArcGIS Pro

Guides installation, licensing activation, and initial environment setup. Ensures every learner has a functional workspace before data work begins.

Lesson 1 • Importing and Exporting Data

Demonstrates importing shapefiles, CSVs, KML, and geodatabase layers. Learners build interoperability skills essential for real project data pipelines.

Lesson 2 • Vector Data: Points, Lines, and Polygons

Explains vector geometry types and their appropriate use cases. Connects geometry choice to accurate spatial representation in later analyses.

Lesson 3 • Raster Data Concepts and Formats

Introduces raster grids, cell resolution, and common file formats. Learners distinguish raster from vector and know when each is appropriate.

Lesson 4 • Coordinate Systems and Projections

Covers geographic vs. projected coordinate systems and datum concepts. Learners reproject data correctly to avoid spatial misalignment errors.

Lesson 1 • Working with Basemaps and Layer Blending

Integrates Esri basemaps and applies layer blending modes for visual depth. Learners enhance map aesthetics without obscuring analytical content.

Lesson 2 • Graduated and Proportional Symbology

Teaches quantity-based rendering using graduated colours and proportional symbols. Learners represent numeric data distributions accurately on maps.

Lesson 3 • Creating Map Layouts for Output

Builds print-ready layouts with map frames, legends, scale bars, and north arrows. Learners produce professional cartographic outputs for reports.

Lesson 4 • Labelling Features Effectively

Configures automatic and manual labels using Maplex label engine. Learners place readable, conflict-free labels on complex feature layers.

Lesson 1 • Select by Attribute Queries

Builds SQL-based queries to select features meeting defined criteria. Learners isolate subsets of data for targeted analysis and export.

Lesson 2 • Joining and Relating Tables

Performs attribute joins and relates between tables using common key fields. Learners enrich spatial layers with external tabular data sources.

Lesson 3 • Understanding Attribute Tables

Explains table structure, field types, and the relationship between rows and features. Learners read and interpret attribute data linked to spatial features.

Lesson 4 • Editing and Calculating Field Values

Covers field calculator, Python expressions, and batch attribute updates. Learners automate data population and maintain consistent attribute quality.

Lesson 1 • Overlay Analysis Techniques

Applies intersect, union, clip, and erase tools to combine spatial layers. Learners derive new datasets that reflect combined spatial conditions.

Lesson 2 • Dissolve and Aggregate Operations

Merges features by attribute values and aggregates spatial extents. Learners simplify complex datasets while preserving analytical integrity.

Lesson 3 • Introduction to Geoprocessing

Explains the geoprocessing framework, toolboxes, and tool parameters. Learners run tools confidently and interpret results and messages.

Lesson 4 • Density and Hot Spot Analysis

Calculates kernel density and identifies statistically significant clusters. Learners detect spatial patterns and anomalies in point datasets.

Lesson 1 • Viewshed and Line-of-Sight Analysis

Calculates visible areas from observer points across terrain surfaces. Learners apply viewshed outputs to planning and communication tower siting.

Lesson 2 • Interpolation Methods for Continuous Surfaces

Applies IDW, kriging, and spline interpolation to point data. Learners select appropriate methods based on data distribution and accuracy requirements.

Lesson 3 • Raster Reclassification and Map Algebra

Reclassifies raster values and performs mathematical operations between rasters. Learners build weighted overlay models for multi-criteria decision analysis.

Lesson 4 • Slope, Aspect, and Curvature Analysis

Derives terrain characteristics from elevation surfaces using Spatial Analyst. Learners apply these derivatives to land suitability and hazard assessments.

Lesson 1 • Introduction to ModelBuilder

Explains the ModelBuilder canvas, elements, and tool connections. Learners build simple linear models that chain geoprocessing tools automatically.

Lesson 2 • Introduction to ArcPy

Covers ArcPy module structure, environment settings, and running tools via script. Learners execute geoprocessing operations programmatically in Python.

Lesson 3 • Scripting Spatial Data Operations

Writes Python scripts to iterate over datasets, manipulate fields, and manage files. Learners automate repetitive data preparation tasks efficiently.

Lesson 4 • Advanced ModelBuilder Techniques

Introduces iterators, preconditions, and model parameters for dynamic workflows. Learners create flexible models that process multiple datasets automatically.

Lesson 1 • Creating Web Apps with Instant Apps

Deploys configurable web apps using Instant Apps templates. Learners deliver focused spatial experiences tailored to specific user needs.

Lesson 2 • ArcGIS Online Organisation Setup

Configures organisational accounts, roles, and content groups. Learners manage user access and content governance for team-based GIS environments.

Lesson 3 • Publishing Feature Layers from ArcGIS Pro

Publishes hosted feature layers and tile layers to ArcGIS Online. Learners make spatial data accessible for web consumption and collaboration.

Lesson 4 • Managing and Updating Online Content

Covers item management, metadata, and overwriting hosted layers. Learners maintain accurate, up-to-date content in organisational portals.
