ArcGIS Model Builder (ArcGIS Pro)

1-day ArcGIS Pro ModelBuilder course

The course is held in the Masters GIS suite (building 44, room 1065) at the University of Southampton.

Access to GIS software (ArcGIS Pro) and a computer will be provided for the duration of the course.

This course is intended for regular users of ESRI’s ArcGIS Pro software who wish to improve their technical knowledge to automate data processing.

Course Description

This practical, one-day hands-on course provides an introduction to the ArcGIS model builder and how you can use it to streamline data processing tasks. You will be introduced to ArcToolbox and gain a deeper understanding of ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing tools. You will learn how to construct a model, make it loop, expose parameters to turn it into a Model tool for embedding and integrating Python scripts into the model builder environment.

The course comprises hands-on exercises each introduced with a short presentation.
