Esri Desktop Associate for 10.3

AndySmith · ‎03-12-2015

Will the new exam for 10.3 also include ArcGIS Pro, or will it only cover traditional Desktop (e.g. ArcMap, ArcCatalog etc.)?

Resources such as What's new in ArcGIS for Desktop—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop show Pro as being new in Desktop, but I think that is just terminology, i.e. Desktop = ArcMap + Pro.

Are there any other useful resources that can be used to determine new content in 10.3 compared to 10.1/10.2?

Thanks Hari, that's for the Professional exam, not Associate, and that only lists the following:

A qualified candidate should be familiar with tools such as:

This does not even list ArcGIS for Desktop!

I assume the extensions covers 3D, Spatial and Network analyst as per the above?

Hello Andy,

As of now it appears that ArcGIS Pro is not in the list of tools which the EADP is expected to be familiar with:

ArcGIS Desktop Professional 10.3

A qualified candidate should be familiar with tools such as:

GuessMiriam Schmidts, Timothy Hales are in a better position to comment at this point of time.
