the free esri training courses

[yppmark]

Is it possible to get a basic introduction to arcgis using the free training courses on the esri website.

If so, which ones and in which order would you suggest?

Thanks for your help

Mark,

The free training seminars / web courses are your best bet for free material to get you started with ArcGIS Desktop.

I'd take a look at the following:

Getting Started with GIS (for ArcGIS 10)

Using ArcMap in ArcGIS Desktop 10

Editing in ArcGIS Desktop 10

Geocoding in ArcGIS Desktop 10

Basics of Geographic Coordinate Systems (for ArcGIS 10)

Turning Data into Information Using ArcGIS 10
