Hi Folks,

UNB is hosting a two-day GIS training workshop on March 8th and 9th. This workshop is intended for natural resource professionals seeking a basic working knowledge of the ArcGIS software suite. Participants will gain hands-on experience with ArcGIS (provided) in a computer lab setting. As a result of the workshop, participants will be able to acquire, manage and use spatial data to develop, symbolize and share informative maps, perform common editing and geoprocessing operations and interchange between GIS and GPS data formats.

This would be worth 14 Category 1 CE credits.

Further details on the workshop and directions for registration can be found at:
GIS 1 for Natural Resource Professionals
