Learn ArcGIS and Esri Academy work together, but are different resources, and are built and maintained by different teams. The primary difference is in our target audiences:</P><UL><LI><A href="https://learn.arcgis.com/en/gallery/#?t=lesson">Learn ArcGIS</A>&nbsp;is mainly directed at people who are trying out a GIS product or workflow for the first time. This could be students who are completely new to GIS, or experienced professionals who want to explore a new area of GIS.</LI><LI><A href="https://www.esri.com/training/">Esri Academy (Esri Training)</A> is mainly directed at existing customers who want to gain deeper or more comprehensive knowledge.</LI></UL><P></P><P>All of the material on Learn ArcGIS is available for free and without an account. We offer <A href="https://learn.arcgis.com/en/become-a-member/">free trial accounts</A> so anyone can access the software in order to try the lessons. The lessons on Learn ArcGIS are developed with a slightly different style than traditional courses. They demonstrate the use of the software through real-world examples.</P><P>Esri Academy offers a mixture of free and fee-based materials, including instructor-led courses, MOOCs, web courses, and training seminars. Esri Academy also awards certificates for course completion, and runs the <A href="https://www.esri.com/training/certification/">Esri Technical Certification</A> program.</P><P></P><P>Long story short, I recommend you take advantage of both resources! Hopefully the descriptions above will help you better decide which library to search first when you want to learn something new.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 12 Jun 2020 11:11:13 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/esri-tutorials-questions/what-makes-learn-arcgis-unique-from-esri-academy/m-p/23609#M6 HeatherSmith 2020-06-12T11:11:13Z Re: What makes Learn ArcGIS unique from Esri Academy? https://community.esri.com/t5/esri-tutorials-questions/what-makes-learn-arcgis-unique-from-esri-academy/m-p/23610#M7 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Heather,</P><P></P><P>That definitely clears things up for me.&nbsp; Thanks for your very thorough response.</P><P></P><P>Jacob</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 12 Jun 2020 11:43:24 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/esri-tutorials-questions/what-makes-learn-arcgis-unique-from-esri-academy/m-p/23610#M7 JacobRougeaux 2020-06-12T11:43:24Z
