Specialization in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a training course that maps your world using GIS, is the tool you can purchase. Concepts and terminology, features of analysis and modeling of the learning space. Knowledge of geographic information systems is in high demand in industries ranging from agriculture to healthcare. This sets the stage for providing you with all the skills necessary to successfully teach the use of GIS in a professional environment. You’ll learn how to analyze your spatial data and analyze joins. From drawing techniques to communicating the results of map use in GIS and field-dependent GIS collaboration.

What you will learn in the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) specialization:

Creating and working with data grids
Development and analysis of data for the project, the analytical longitude
The development of workflow processing in ModelBuilder
Interpret and explain the results comparing them to the main problem and/or hypothesis of the GIS

The specialization uses ArcGIS for Desktop. In the course you will find instructions on how to download a free educational license. Please check below whether your computer meets the requirements to run ArcGIS.

ArcGIS requires a computer running Microsoft Windows. Please visit the Esri website to view the latest system requirements for ArcGIS Desktop: http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/get-started/system-requirements/arcgis-desktop-system-requirements.html .

If you would like to complete the course using a Mac, this is possible, but you will need to be comfortable setting up and installing Microsoft Windows on your Mac using either virtualization software such as VirtualBox (free), BootCamp (free), Parallels or VMWare use . . If you don’t already have a Windows license, a free trial is available. However, you may need to purchase a license in the future. A forum post in the first course contains tips from other students who have taken the courses on a Mac to help you get set up. Setting up the software on a Mac (or Linux) is ultimately up to you and is not currently a supported configuration for this course. We hope to offer cross-platform training in the near future.

This specialization is aimed at beginners and does not require any prior knowledge of GIS. Previous knowledge of GIS will help you understand concepts more quickly, but is not essential.
