We are excited to offer Trimble® certified training classes in multiple locations this spring. All classes are at least 70% hands-on and highly recommended for new users or those looking to refresh their skills prior to the field season.
We will host 2-day Trimble TerraSync and Pathfinder Office and 3-day ArcPad with Trimble Positions training classes. These comprehensive classes will cover all aspects of a data collection project as well as covering GNSS fundamentals, high accuracy data collection and best practices for field or office im-proving the quality and efficiency of your data collection and update.
New this year
, we will be offering a 1-day Intro to ArcGIS Online and Esri Collector class and a 2-day ArcGIS for Windows Mobile with Trimble Positions extension class.Please look at the following class descriptions and available dates and send in the registration for the class of your choice. Early registration is appreciated, and note that you will not be charged until the start of class unless otherwise requested.
If you have four or more people who need training and would rather have a class held on-site, please con-tact me. We have training laptops and receivers and would be happy to hold a class that will best meet your needs. Customized lesson plans are available.
Sincerely,
Alison Walker
