Student Comments "This course was very helpful. I don't think I would have passed the exam without it. I called it my Secret Weapon. The practice exams allowed me to becoming familiar with the wording and structure of the questions which alleviated the test anxiety I usually experience. The instructor is engaging and knowledgeable, the course material inspires confidence and helps guide the self-study process." - Tamarin Gullett-Tyrrell, GIS Specialist, Cherokee County Georgia "This class was a great tool for helping me prepare for the ArcGIS Desktop Associate Exam. It provided a great refresher for much of the tools, terms and functionality I don't use on a regular basis." - Carol Walker, GIS Project Coordinator, Polk County Florida Property Appraisers Office "The ESRI Desktop Associate Certification exam preparation class offered by eGIS Associates was invaluable to me in passing this exam. In concert with ESRI's EDA Exam Study Guide which was provided as part of the class, I was extremely confident going into the exam.
