Course description

This comprehensive Introduction to ArcGIS Pro course is designed for individuals who are new to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or transitioning from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro, Esri’s modern and powerful desktop GIS platform. The course provides a strong foundation in spatial thinking and introduces participants to the essential tools and workflows used in ArcGIS Pro for managing, analyzing, and visualizing geographic data.

Throughout the course, participants will be guided through a step-by-step exploration of the ArcGIS Pro interface, learning how to effectively navigate the ribbon-based environment, create and manage GIS projects, and organize data in a way that supports efficient analysis. The course emphasizes practical, hands-on learning, using real-world datasets to help learners grasp key concepts and develop useful GIS skills.

Key topics include working with vector and raster data, symbolizing and labeling features, creating thematic maps, managing layers and layouts, performing basic geoprocessing operations such as buffering and spatial joins, and executing simple spatial analyses to uncover patterns and insights in data. Participants will also be introduced to the integration of attribute tables, coordinate systems, geodatabases, and the use of metadata.

A special focus will be placed on map production and sharing, ensuring that participants learn how to create professional-quality maps and export them for print or online use. Learners will also gain an understanding of how ArcGIS Pro connects to the wider ArcGIS ecosystem, including ArcGIS Online and enterprise portals, enabling collaborative and cloud-based GIS work.

By the end of the course, participants will have the skills and confidence to independently carry out fundamental GIS tasks in ArcGIS Pro and will be well-prepared to progress to more advanced GIS topics such as spatial analysis, 3D mapping, geostatistics, and model building.
