Excellent content, and the assignments were great as well. Even better is that now as I work through my workflows, I now have these videos to reference if I am having difficulty with anything. Cheers!

While I already had a basic understanding of GIS, I felt this course went through the material much quicker and provided multiple ways to reach an answer or solve a problem.

Well taught, goes into a lot of detail on technical skills in ArcGIS PRo and broader GIS concepts as well. Can't be skimmed through, requires effort and totally worth it.

Great introduction to GIS! Even though I already most of the essential basics, I learned something new. The introduction music for each vidoa is a bit annoying though...

A fantastic balance between guided instruction, through videos that can be revisited, stopped and sped up, and independent discovery in a basic understanding of GIS.
