All instructors have Esri Technical Certifications and CompTIA CTT++ certification.\r\n\r\nThe following new courses are great for GIS professionals, analysts, and anyone who wants to create and share intuitive apps that feature ArcGIS content and capabilities.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/training\/catalog\/5b0431e067b46f2fe61b082f\/creating-python-scripts-for-arcgis\/\">Creating Python Scripts for ArcGIS<\/a><strong>\r\n<\/strong><\/strong>Extend your knowledge of Python by learning how to build Python scripts in ArcGIS Pro. In this course, students apply Python scripting techniques to automate common data management and geoprocessing tasks. They also learn methods to share scripts with other ArcGIS users who want to save time by deploying efficient, repeatable workflows.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Get Started with Insights for ArcGIS<strong>\r\n<\/strong><\/strong>Extracting actionable insight from data has never been easier\u2014and now it\u2019s about to get faster. Learn how to be productive quickly with Insights for ArcGIS. Find out how to leverage powerful but easy-to-use tools to dynamically visualize and iteratively analyze a variety of datasets using maps, charts, tables, and more.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/training\/catalog\/57f4505e362fd58367ab5302\/configuring-web-apps-using-web-appbuilder-for-arcgis\/\">Configuring Web Apps Using Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS<\/a><strong>\r\n<\/strong><\/strong>Believe it or not, it\u2019s possible to create and share focused web apps with an ArcGIS organizational account without doing any coding. This one-day course shows learners how to use existing web maps, themes, and configurable widgets to build apps that feature an organization\u2019s branding and deliver geospatial capabilities to end users.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Configurable Learning Plans Are Here<\/h3>\r\nEsri learning plans cover a variety of GIS concepts and ArcGIS topics\u2014and anyone with a <a href=\"https:\/\/accounts.esri.com\/en\/login?redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esri.com%2F\">free Esri account<\/a> can enroll in them. Available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/training\/\">Esri Training website<\/a>, each plan contains a set of sequenced resources that learners work through at their own pace.\r\n\r\nSome people like to use them to achieve a specific learning objective, while others see them as a starting point for creating their own individualized plans. Either way, users can make a copy of an Esri learning plan and, if they want, add or remove resources to it to reflect their personal learning goals and interests.\r\n\r\nIt is easy to build a plan from scratch by adding items directly from the <em>Training<\/em> catalog. Additionally, managers and educators can assign employees and students to certain plans and then track learners\u2019 progress as they go through them. Users can also share learning plans privately with specific individuals or publicly to the catalog, where the entire Esri Training community can easily find and enroll in them.\r\n\r\nFor organizations, learning plans are a valuable tool to increase awareness of GIS and ArcGIS capabilities, as well as to onboard new employees, prepare teams for upcoming projects, and support ongoing professional development. Educators also use learning plans to complement their curricula, build geospatial literacy, and help students acquire in-demand technical skills.\r\n\r\nReady to embark on a learning plan of your own? All you need is an Esri account and a desire to expand your skills. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/training\/learning-plans\/\">Get started<\/a>."},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h2>Certification<\/h2>\r\nWhile Esri Technical Certifications never expire, old exams do get retired.
