Training
Build Effective Apps with ArcGIS Experience Builder
Developed and delivered by in-house experts, Esri’s instructor-led courses serve GIS beginners and experts alike. They teach new workflows and essential concepts, enabling participants to glean better insight from data, improve operations, and meet complex challenges.
A new course called ArcGIS Experience Builder: Advanced Techniques is for anyone who wants to expand their foundation-level ArcGIS Experience Builder skills. Over two days, attendees learn how to design and build responsive and accessible web apps that feature GIS content or capabilities. The course covers workflows and best practices for how to effectively leverage data views, configure popular widgets, and integrate other ArcGIS apps into a web app—all without writing code.
For those who don’t yet have foundation-level Experience Builder skills, the Building Web Apps with ArcGIS Experience Builder instructor-led course is a perfect place to start.
When multiple staff members need to be trained for a GIS project or on a new ArcGIS implementation, organizations can hold private classes—and then extend this experience by adding a coaching session. In a coaching session, the instructor reinforces knowledge and skills via in-depth discussions and demonstrations that tie directly into the organization’s workflows, environment, and data.
Organizations can also streamline access to instructor-led training by getting an Esri Training Pass.

An Exciting Fall for MOOCs
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) provide a great way for people to invigorate their GIS learning. Over six weeks, participants learn about trending topics and new workflows that help them advance their own knowledge and improve their work.
Registration is currently open for the following MOOCs:
- Cartography.—Anyone can make beautiful maps, and this MOOC, which runs from August 27 to October 8, shows participants how. Experts discuss mapping tips and techniques while highlighting the knowledge and skills needed to make maps beautiful, accurate, and easy to interpret.
- Spatial Data Science: The New Frontier in Analytics—Attendees of this MOOC learn data-engineering workflows and how to gain insight from data using spatial methods and algorithms, regression analysis, deep learning models, space-time cubes, and more. This MOOC runs September 17–October 29.
- The ArcGIS Imagery MOOC: Foundations and Frontiers—There are many uses for and types of imagery, and imagery’s integration with GIS is rapidly expanding. This brand-new MOOC shows participants a modern approach to utilizing imagery and remote sensing capabilities to solve real-world problems. Be sure to join this first offering of the MOOC, which begins October 22.
Each MOOC includes access to software, a forum with peers from around the world, expert videos, guided exercises, and a certificate of completion.
Certification
Validate Your Expertise
Young professionals and seasoned ArcGIS users alike can leverage the Esri Technical Certification Program to establish their credibility, validate their skills, and advance their careers.
“Becoming Esri certified has significantly enhanced my professional and academic journey. It has validated my expertise in GIS and spatial analysis, providing me with the confidence to tackle complex geospatial challenges,” said Onyedikachi Joshua Okeke, a spatial statistician and GIS analyst who recently earned his master’s degree. “Employers and collaborators recognize the certifications as a testament [of] my proficiency in using Esri tools like ArcGIS Pro for geospatial data analysis, visualization, and decision-making.”
Check out the exams that are currently available. And watch for updated ArcGIS Enterprise exams being released later this year.
