Why Choose Us

The Querying Data using ArcGIS training course develops the practical knowledge and analytical techniques required to extract, analyse and interpret spatial data effectively. It introduces the fundamental principles of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and ArcGIS, one of the most powerful platforms for managing and analysing spatial data. Participants learn to conduct attribute and spatial queries efficiently, use SQL within ArcGIS and complete advanced geoprocessing tasks. These tasks include buffering, overlay and proximity analysis, supporting informed decisions in urban planning, environmental management, infrastructure development and research.

Through theoretical learning and practical exercises, participants develop their ability to work effectively with complex geographic information. They learn to manage geodatabases, construct optimised queries, automate workflows and apply analytical techniques to real-world spatial problems. This hands-on approach equips delegates to transform complex geographic data into actionable insights that support planning and operational excellence.

This Querying Data using ArcGIS training course will highlight:

  • Applying fundamental GIS principles within ArcGIS
  • Conducting efficient attribute and spatial queries
  • Using SQL to construct optimised ArcGIS queries
  • Performing buffering, overlay and proximity analysis
  • Managing geodatabases and automating spatial workflows
