Practice Quizzes:

The practice quizzes provide students with an opportunity to experience a testing environment that will be similar to the real thing. The quizzes are formatted very closely to those found on the actual exam. The questions are based on Esri sample questions, recommended course section reviews and the author's experiences with other certification exams such as those from Microsoft and CompTIA.

Prerequisites and recommendations:

This class assumes students have used ArcGIS Desktop software and are looking for a review of key features and functionality which may be included on the certification exam. Esri recommends individuals seeking to take the exam have at least two years of experience working with the software.

High speed internet connection and a web browser which supports HTML5 are required to take this class. If you use the VOIP audio option, it is recommended you have a headset with earphones and mic. If you call in it is recommended you use a headset as well or have a mutable speaker phone. Dial-in users will be responsible for any long distance charges associated with attending this class. Access to ArcGIS Desktop Software is not required to take this class though many students find it helpful.
