ESRI Virtual Campus Training

Overview

Effective November 15, 2008, USDA has signed a new Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with ESRI for GIS Software and Services. This new agreement was negotiated by USDA through the federal SmartBUY initiative. This Blanket Purchase Agreement is effective though September 30, 2013.

The ESRI Virtual Campus training provides a high-quality learning experience using interactive exercises, examples, and instructional resources to create a rich learning environment.

Web courses teach a variety of topics related to ESRI software, the theory underlying GIS technology, and the application of GIS tools in particular fields. Some Web courses include downloadable trial editions of ESRI software.
