This event is for school teachers who have previously attended ‘Getting started with ArcGIS’ or acquired equivalent experience in another way.

You do not need to check your previous experience with us before booking. It’s simply important to note that this is a session for school teachers who have already used ArcGIS in the classroom. You can attend this course immediately after attending ‘Getting started with ArcGIS’ if you wish, when available.

There will be an extended lunchtime, with some optional self-study activities provided. Tea and coffee will be provided on arrival. Lunch will not be provided - there will be opportunities to go out at lunchtime or you can bring your own lunch.

We may finish a little earlier than the published finish time and we do understand if you have to leave before 4.00pm. The final 30-45 minutes will, therefore, be an opportunity to ask questions and explore ideas further, rather than covering new content.

You will be sent precise joining instructions at least three days before the event.
