ESRI Instructor-Assisted Video Training (IAT) for NEARC Attendees!
8:30 am - 5:00 pm
For the convenience of NEARC attendees, ESRI training courses are being offered immediately following the conference on October 8 & 9 at the Radisson Nashua. The classes will run a full day from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.
In an Instructor-Assisted Video Training class, students watch video-recorded lectures and demonstrations and complete hands-on ESRI software exercises at their own pace. Using video-recorded lectures allows several topics to be taught simultaneously in the same classroom environment. An experienced ESRI instructor with expertise in the course subject matter is available in the classroom at all times to answer questions, explain concepts, and provide guidance.
