Overview of course

Intended for the GIS technician, this course teaches the software skills and concepts needed to automate and maintain feature data in an ArcGIS geodatabase. Using the tools available with ArcGIS software, you will learn techniques for data preparation, conversion, and editing. You will also learn how topology and other geodatabase validation rules help maintain data integrity as part of an editing workflow.
