Information Management e-learning: Module One "Introduction to GIS for Mine Action" and Module Two "Introduction to ArcGIS Enterprise"
The GICHD is delighted to announce that the registration forms for two online e-learning modules, namely "Introduction to GIS for Mine Action" and "Introduction to ArcGIS Enterprise," are now open. These modules are specifically designed for remote completion and are made available through the generous support of the Swiss Government.
Introduction to GIS for Mine Action:
Mine action is inherently geographic, and GIS allows information managers to visualise and analyse data to help solve spatial problems and make smarter decisions. In this course, learn the fundamental components and capabilities of GIS and discover how ArcGIS can improve the quality of the information in mine action workflows.
Introduction to ArcGIS Enterprise:
Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA) Core builds on ArcGIS Enterprise software to support mine action workflows. This course introduces key concepts of ArcGIS Enterprise to users of IMSMA Core. Understanding these foundational concepts will help users of IMSMA Core perform their work more effectively.
The self-paced eLearning modules contribute towards gaining fundamental knowledge based on IMSMA Core. The training language will be English.
