ESRI Virtual Campus
NPS has a license agreement with the software vendor ESRI for ArcGIS that includes access to online training through the ESRI Virtual Campus. The ESRI Virtual Campus web training is great way to start using GIS. In addition there are advanced courses to enhance your GIS skills.
Our list of GIS Foundation courses appears below and is linked to the ESRI Course Catalog where you will find a description of the course. The first two should be taken in order after which you can fill in wiht the other foundation course as time and interest permit. Each of these courses require an NPS issued course code.
In addition, you will find a link below to our course recommendation document that divides the suggested courses into "Foundation" and "Intermediate/Advanced" groups. The list includes whether a particular course is free or requires a course code.
