GIS Training

GIS is a powerfull technology when the databases that are behind it are built correctly and the users are knowledgable about how to use the software and perform analysis. We have developed GIS courses that give users the fundamental understanding of what a geographic information system is and the necessary skills to start taking advantage of the software.

We have partnered with the Wenatchee Valley College Continuing Education Program to offer these courses as workshops at their campus training facility in Wenatchee, WA.
