Learning opportunities using ESRI's Virtual Campus

Our site license includes access to the new Esri E-Learning Training Center. It includes all recorded webinars and non-instructor lead web classes available on the new Training site.

The first document below is a guide that provides instruction on how to enroll and find web classes to learn ArcGIS software. Last updated August 18,  2021.

If you are taking any of these web-training courses, you will be using the ArcGIS software in conjunction with these online courses. You will need to access the course material through the website and not the software. You can access the site using your ArcGIS Online account user name and password.
