Utility Training Sample Outline
Panda Consulting recently completed a customized training session for a local utility company. This training was targeted to plan review personnel with a detailed knowledge of AutoCad but extremely limited knowledge of GIS. The training focussed on providing sufficient GIS background to allow the students to find, symbolize and analyze GIS data layers and then to enable these students to load and integrate CAD files into these GIS data layers.
To illustrate the types of topics included in a custom two day training course, the complete outline is provided below:
