From Zero to GIS Expert: Spatial Analysis with ArcGIS Pro
This training provides a strong and professional entry into the field of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) using ArcGIS Pro. You will begin by getting familiar with the program’s modern and user-friendly interface, gaining essential skills for effective use. You will then learn how to manage your data efficiently through project (.aprx) structures and geodatabase management. Throughout the course, you will work with both vector and raster data, developing your spatial analysis skills while applying core geoprocessing tools such as buffer, overlay, network, and raster analysis. You will also learn how to automate workflows using ModelBuilder and gain the ability to share and publish your data through ArcGIS Online integration. In addition, you will create professional-quality maps and dashboards to effectively present your results. By the end of the training, you will reinforce all these skills by completing a real-world decision support project, such as a “post-disaster temporary shelter suitability analysis,” building a solid foundation for a career in GIS across municipalities, energy, environment, urban planning, transportation, and the private sector.
Web GIS Automation with ArcGIS API for Python
Manage, automate, and scale your ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise environments programmatically using Esri's official Python library — ArcGIS API for Python. This learning path covers portal/organization administration (users, groups, content), publishing Hosted Feature Layers, spatial analysis (arcgis.features), raster and Imagery Layer operations (arcgis.raster), programmatic creation of Web Maps and Dashboards, and automation via Notebooks and scheduled tasks. You'll complete a real enterprise scenario (e.g. "A daily ETL pipeline pulling open data and updating an ArcGIS Online Feature Layer and Dashboard automatically") and add a tangible output to your portfolio. The ideal technical deep-dive for analysts and developers familiar with ArcGIS Pro who want to manage the Esri ecosystem through code.
ArcGIS Online Dashboards and Experience Builder: No-Code Web GIS
Design professional web applications and dashboards without writing a single line of code, using the powerful no-code tools of ArcGIS Online. This learning path covers the ArcGIS Online portal structure, publishing Web Maps and Hosted Feature Layers, building real-time monitoring dashboards with ArcGIS Dashboards (Indicator, Chart, List, Gauge), configuring interactions through filters and actions, creating multi-page responsive web apps with Experience Builder, and publishing/sharing/performance optimization. You'll complete a real decision-support scenario (e.g. "Smart City Dashboard for a municipality — waste container fill levels, air quality, citizen complaints") and add a striking output to your portfolio. Ideal starting point for anyone building decision-support systems in municipalities, disaster management, urban planning, healthcare, and the private sector.
Mobile Field Data Collection with ArcGIS Field Maps & Survey123
Build a mobile workflow that frees your field teams from paper forms and pushes data straight into ArcGIS Online. This learning path covers form design with Survey123 (XLSForm-based), conditional logic, validation and calculations, advanced form development with Survey123 Connect, offline field work, map-based editing with Field Maps, high-accuracy GPS, markup and photo capture, integrating collected data with Dashboards and Webhooks (Power Automate), and managing synchronization and data quality. You'll complete a real scenario (e.g. "Municipal stormwater grate inventory and damage reporting mobile workflow") and add a tangible output to your portfolio. Ideal starting point for anyone working in field operations across municipalities, infrastructure, environment, forestry, disaster management, and the private sector.
