Juniper GIS is offering a five and a half-day GIS class in Spain this coming spring. This course will be held in Cala Sant Vicenç on the Spanish island of Mallorca, from April 9 to April 14 for $2,500, including lodging.
The class, Working with ArcGIS for Environmental Analysis, is appropriate for new GIS users and for experienced GIS users wanting more in-depth instruction.

Students will learn key GIS skills including compiling and organizing data, understanding projections, using symbology and labels, working with tables, editing data, performing analysis, and creating finished maps while working through realistic GIS projects. Students will also be introduced to some advanced skills – working with Spatial Analyst, using ModelBuilder, and using Google Earth. Students will earn 40 hours of education credit towards the GIS Professional (GISP) certificate. The final session will be a data collection exercise in the neighboring mountains or along the coast Saturday morning, September 14, followed by a BBQ lunch and certificate ceremony.
