We wanted to let those on the list know about our 2012 class schedule and provide some info on ArcGIS software. In particular, our January tele-class series begins on January 4th.
 
We will be teaching two versions of our GIS Essentials™ Workshop, a tele-class -- which can be taken from anywhere -- and a live workshop offered in various locations.

This one-day workshop is designed to teach essential GIS (Geographic Information System) skills as indicated by a survey of 500 GIS professionals. The workshop focuses on teaching the fundamentals of ArcGIS with updated information on accessing and mapping 2010 Census data. Government agencies, non-profits and universities will find the workshop particularly relevant. Gina Clemmer, author of the book The GIS 20: Essential Skills published by ESRI Press, will teach these workshops.

Custom Workshops

Let us come to you. We can teach a customized GIS workshop at your location. Many find this to be a more cost effective solution if they have more than four people who would like to receive GIS training. 

Fee: $4,000 (this is a flat fee that includes ten books.)
Additional books are $20 per book. No additional expenses will be incurred. Client must have a computer lab available to receive this pricing. If a lab is not available and you are still interested in a custom class, please contact us directly for pricing.

ArcGIS Software

ESRI will release version 10.1 in early 2012. Although the look and feel of 10.1 will be the same as 10, the new software will feature improved integration with ArcGIS Online and better sharing and publishing capabilities.  Here's a summary of the new features http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgis10/whats-coming/features.html#f1. If your organization's maintenance is up to date, you will automatically receive the updated software.
