MOOCs are back in 2026! We have an exciting lineup that has something for everyone. If you already know about the MOOC program, scroll down and start saving your spot so you can get reminder once they open. If you are curious about what MOOCs are, keep reading.
What are MOOCs?
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are low-risk, no-cost online courses for anyone who wants to build new skills, grow professionally, and expand their horizons. Each MOOC goes in-depth to a unique GIS-related topic and contains expert videos, step-by-step exercises using ArcGIS software, and a discussion forum to interact with thousands of peers from around the world.
If you complete all sections of the MOOC, you will receive a certificate of completion (which you can share on your LinkedIn profile and add to your resume – making you standout to recruiters and future employers).
