Spatial Analysis in ArcGIS Pro Class Resources

This 3-day course teaches essential concepts and a standard workflow you can apply to any spatial analysis project. You will work with a variety of ArcGIS tools to explore, analyze, and produce reliable information from data. Course exercises use an Advanced license of ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS 3D Analyst, ArcGIS Spatial Analyst, and ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst.

Lesson 1: Building a foundation for spatial analysis
