I have taught several Migrating to ArcGIS Pro classes. I generally recommend 2 days of training which includes lectures, demo and hands on exercises to show folks where things are in ArcGIS Pro, what has changed,
terminology and some of the new functionality. Once they have that training, then I would say it takes about a month of using ArcGIS Pro for existing ArcMap users to get close to the same level of productivity as before.
Honestly, I have found completely new users actually pick up ArcGIS Pro much faster than past ArcMap users. The ArcGIS Pro user interface is much more like other applications like Word and Excel so they adapt
more quickly and they don’t have predeveloped muscle memory to overcome.
I just got done teaching a Migrating to ArcGIS Pro class to the staff at the Land of Sky Regional Council in Asheville NC. Most all of them were experienced ArcMap users and a couple of those were “You will pry
ArcMap out of my cold dead hands” types. By the end of the two days, everyone was much more excited about moving to and using ArcGIS Pro. One of the “You will pry ArcMap out of my cold dead hands” types actually said she liked ArcGIS Pro now and was looking
forward to the change.

Enjoy the ride! Depending on how afraid of change they are, switching from Map to Pro can actually be fairly easy. I embrace change and look forward to trying new things so, after watching the intro courses on
my esri training I was able to be up and running (wobbly but running J) in about a week or two. The hardest part is learning some of the new terminology (i.e.: panes
vs views, atlas vs data driven, etc…). If you use in-house training from ESRI that time may be shortened a bit. My users in RPS are not quite as gung-ho as I am but with an in-person training session from ESRI they are able to wobble around in there, although
they are still getting used to it. It’s slow though. Could be because their training had more to do with parcel fabric then arcpro usage though. I assigned them the intro training for ArcGIS Pro but short staff needs didn’t allow them to tackle it beforehand.
My best suggestion, make sure to do the transition during a slower period for your end users. Because of circumstance we were forced into a time crunch to get it done before taxable status season and it’s been
a bit harder for all of us because of it.

Hi all,
We need to train our technicians and convert from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro, and I’m wondering how much time to budget. If you have gone through this process, how much time did you spend on training between introduction and “flipping the switch”?
Our techs are skilled ArcMap users but generally have not had exposure to Pro (I have been using it for a while.) I’m thinking we will be using a combination of online tutorials from Esri and in-house, in-person training.
Thanks for any insight,
Andy
