GIS Course: Intermediate

Course Information

Data analysis and analytics. Uncover insights and transform your organisation.

Ready to take your Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial data skills to the next level? The intermediate GIS course provides students with in-depth training in GIS, to meet the needs of 21st-century spatial analytics. This course enhances the toolkit of IT professionals, managers, and others, empowering them to derive a deeper generation of actionable insights using spatial data.

This course follows the initial Introduction to Geographic Information Systems course offered by CCE. Topics include geoprocessing tools, automation of spatial processes, raster imagery, metadata management, and more. Much of the course content uses the ArcGIS Pro* software, though a gentle introduction to programmatic GIS using the R programming language is included.

*ArcGIS Pro is latest version of the ESRI ArcDesktop/ArcMap interface. Those comfortable in the ArcDesktop/ArcMap 10.x environment will be comfortable using ArcGIS Pro. The first section of course content covers the latest features and changes in interface design.

Aims

This course aims to provide you with a deeper understanding of GIS techniques. It aims to increase your confidence, efficiency, and proficiency in working with spatial data, enabling you to meet the ongoing demand for critical GIS skills.
