Training - Using GeoDatabases
Using GeoDatabases in ArcGIS
This 1 day course provides a conceptual overview and hands-on experience using the ArcGIS GeoDatabase format.
The course teaches the basics of GeoDatabases and enables participants to quickly take advantage of the capabilities of this format. Participants are introduced to both Personal (MDB) and File (GDB) GeoDatabases and use them to store, manage, edit, query and analyse both vector and raster data. The practice sessions and examples cover a range of business cases to put the features of the GeoDatabase into the context.

This ArcGIS course is a stimulating and rewarding experience for most participants. There is a good mix of instructor presentation and practice sessions. The atmosphere is informal and friendly providing the ideal learning environment.
Made in Australia -
This is not a standard ESRI course that uses data from the USA. The practice sessions were developed in Australia and adhere to the usual ESRI training standards. We used our experience from more than ten years of GIS training to develop this course. The material is based on publicly available data from Geosciences Australia. The practice sessions have an appeal to a broad cross section of users from Botanists to Engineers and Business or Project Managers to GIS Users.
Prerequisites -
This course is for trainees with introductory level ArcGIS Desktop experience. Trainees should also be familiar with Microsoft Windows.
The course is limited to the capabilities of the ArcGIS ArcView level of licensing.
Added Value -
Course participants will receive one month of free telephone support on the course material. In fact, we will phone you to ask how you are going building your GeoDatabases.
