GeoMedia and GeoMedia Professional 6.0 Training

Overview: This 4-day class is designed to fully introduce new and experienced users to usage and workflows with GeoMedia Professional. This hands-on class will increase workplace productivity, teaching the student conceptual aspects as well as the mechanics of working with real-world data. Students are fully introduced to the product's functionality through classroom exercises, including data warehouse creation, specifics relating to data connections, spatial analysis, inputting GPS data, map data creation, plotting and more. The course is designed as a thorough introduction to GeoMedia Professional and is appropriate for the first-time user as well as experienced users. Instructors use an interactive approach to introduce the required GIS concepts while demonstrating how to harness the power of GeoMedia Professional within the workplace.

Pre-requisites: It is assumed that class participants will have completed the GeoMedia Professional tutorial.
