In partnership with other higher education institutions, the DIGIT Lab maintains the software licensing for Esri products at the University of Utah. This means the DIGIT Lab is the front line support for Esri products on campus. If we can not answer your questions, we pass them along to Esri support.

GIS Training

The University of Utah’s Department of Geography has one of the strongest GIS education programs in the North America and has successfully educated hundreds of GIS specialists. The Department of Geography offers a series of classes aimed at teaching both the fundamentals of Geographic Information Science as well as using GIS (Esri) software. There are 4 semester length courses that consist of both strong theoretical background and hands-on lab sessions (See http://www.geog.utah.edu/ for more details).

Lastly, and maybe the most practical, training is free via Esri Virtual Courses. Esri offers online courses to train users in the use of Esri’s software. This is a great way to get trained on the use of a specific tool within ArcGIS Desktop.
