Your Questions, Answered

Do I need my own ArcGIS Pro software?

Yes, you will need an active ArcGIS Pro license. Esri offers an affordable personal/student license if you don't have one through work!

How long do I have access to the program and when does it start?

You can access this course online right away, and the access date will not expire. Use the course at your own pace from your home or from work...or from anywhere!

Can't I learn all of this on YouTube?

YouTube can be a great resource for stand-alone, individual videos on a specific topic. But, YouTube videos lack the comprehensive approach of this course as well as ongoing, personal interaction.

It takes most people under one day, but you can learn at your own pace. There are 5 lessons approximately 10-25 minutes each.
