Good morning everyone I will be conducting an ArcGIS Desktop Associate Certification Exam Prep class on November 12 -13. This will be an online class which will start at 10:30 and go to 5:30 or 6 EST. Course Overview This course will help prepare ArcGIS Users to take and pass the ArcGIS Desktop Associate Exam for ArcGIS 10.0, 10.1 or 10.3. Through a series of lectures, instructor demonstrations and practice quizzes, students will review ArcGIS Desktop functionality and identify areas where more study may be needed. The practice quizzes provide students with an opportunity to experience a testing environment that will be similar to the real thing. The course was developed by instructors that have taken and passed the Esri Certified ArcGIS Desktop Associate exam. This course currently has a 90% pass rate for those students that have taken the class and reported their results. Target Audience: This course is designed for those attempting to take Esri's ArcGIS Desktop Associate Certification Exam that wish to identify areas where they may need more study and are looking for a review of ArcGIS for Desktop Functionality.
