Esri Virtual Campus Prepares Students for Further Training
Virtual Campus courses are an effective way to prepare or satisfy prerequisites for Esri classroom training. Introduction to Visual Basic 6, for example, teaches the fundamental Visual Basic skills needed for the instructor-led course, Introduction to Programming ArcObjects with VBA. Some Virtual Campus courses are self-paced versions of their instructor-led counterparts. Examples include Introduction to ArcGIS I (for ArcView 8, ArcEditor 8, and ArcInfo 8). Students who complete one of these online courses satisfy the prerequisite for Introduction to ArcGIS II (for ArcView 8, ArcEditor 8, and ArcInfo 8), which is an instructor-led course.
