ArcGIS Training Proposal City of Santa Ana qpesrl* <br />A good GIS staff is an invaluable tool for a manager. Money can buy more hardware and software, but <br />even money cannot create the motivation and enthusiasm essential to a successful staff and a successful <br />GIS implementation. It takes people to build, manage and maintain a GIS, so part of planning for a GIS is <br />making sure you will have enough staff with the appropriate skills and training. <br />- R. Tomlinson, Thinking About GIS <br />This ArcG1S Training Proposal for the City of Santa addresses their initial need to ensure that the GIS staff, city <br />planners, and city engineers have the ArcGIS Desktop 10 skills needed. In addition, the future need for ArcGIS <br />Server knowledge for the GIS staff is addressed. <br />The following recommendations are made with the understanding that: <br />One member of the GIS staff has GIS knowledge but is fairly new to ArcGIS Desktop 10 <br />Engineers and planners also have GIS knowledge but have no experience with ArcGIS Desktop <br />Recommended Training <br />In the three-day, instructor-led ArcGIS Desktop IL Tools and Functionality course, students learn how to use ArcGIS <br />Desktop 10 to visualize, create, manage, and analyze geographic data. By the end of the course, students <br />understand the range of ArcGIS Desktop functionality and are prepared to work with the software on their own to <br />create GIS maps, work with geographic data, and perform GIS analysis. <br />After completing this course, students will be able to: <br />• Create a file geodatabase to store and manage geographic data <br />• Create and edit geographic data to accurately represent real-world objects <br />• Explore geographic data in ArcMap <br />• Classify, symbolize, and label map features to improve map visualization and interpretation <br />• Create data by geocoding addresses <br />• Query and analyze GIS data to support decision making <br />• Create maps to share with others <br />The City of Santa Ana planners and engineers (who are new to ArcGIS Desktop 10) should complete the free, <br />online course, Getting Started with GIS (for ArcGIS 10) to prepare for the Desktop II class. This free course will <br />provide some hands-on experience with Desktop 10. <br />The ArcG1S Desktop Il: Tools and Functionality training can be taken at an Esri Learning Center, or in an online <br />classroom. Cost is $1,515 per person. The upcoming class schedule is here. The Esri classroom location closest to <br />City of Santa Ana is in Redlands, CA. <br />Alternatively, training can be purchased by the class. The cost of the three-day Desktop II private class at your site <br />is $13,635 for up to 12 people. This price is includes the instructor, course materials, and classroom setup support. <br />There are no additional charges. If necessary, Esri can provide laptop computers for the students at no additional <br />charge. A two-month lead time is needed to reserve the laptops. <br />Organizations that sign up for a private class may supplement that class with one or more days of client coaching. <br />Coaching provides the opportunity to work with an instructor in an informal setting to revisit the concepts learned <br />in the class and apply them within the organization's unique work environment. This can include demos with local <br />datasets and other customer-driven applications. Client coaching is $4,120 per day for up to 12 people. Coaching <br />is an excellent way to quickly apply new skills to the organization's GIS needs, data, and workflows. <br />City of Santa Ana Page 1 of 2 Copyright 0 2012 Esri
