A large Australian Government department required training of ArcGIS Desktop for two existing staff members.
Looking at the training courses available through a local ESRI distributor they knew they would require all of the knowledge in ESRI’s ArcGIS I, some from ArcGIS II and a small portion from ArcGIS III. But a large portion of ArcGIS III and some of what ArcGIS II taught was outside of their requirements and would never be used.
They calculated the costs and found that for two people to attend ArcGIS I, II & III in their nearest capital city would cost $13,376. In addition it would take 7 days in total, spread out over many months and would cost approximately $7,000 in travel, accomodation & meal costs.
Competitor’s Total Estimated Training Cost: $20,376
The staff contacted GIS Solutions and a training plan was worked out.
Parts of our Introduction to ArcGIS Desktop and Advanced ArcGIS Desktop courses were combined to create a custom training course to meet their needs. The course formulated would only take 3 days to conduct.
In addition the training was conducted on-site which allowed local data & scenarios to be used in the training. Also some consultancy was given to assist with problems they were experiencing with their current GIS setup.
