Understanding how and when to apply ArcGIS tools is the key to creating an efficient workflow that supports GIS analysis. This course teaches how to apply ArcGIS tools with a focus on working with data stored in a geodatabase. You will organize and prepare data for analysis, create geoprocessing models, and work through a challenging analysis project. The workflow taught in this course is applicable to all types of GIS analysis.
