FAQs

What does it cost?

The course is $500. If you need to pay in installments, just let us know and we can make arrangements.

When are courses held?

Classes are held every Thursday from 6:30 - 8:30 pm at GTECH's office. The course runs for 10 weeks from March 24th to May 26th.

Is there an age limit to sign up for this course?

Generally, students should be 18+, but mature and interested students 14+ are welcome.

Do I need to buy any additional materials or software?

- All students are required to purchase the book/software package: "GIS Tutorial 1 " by Kurland and Gorr. Be sure to purchase a NEW book, as it comes with a 6-month trial of the software you will need for the course. Alternatively, if you would like to purchase a personal copy of the software, ESRI offers a personal license for $100/year though the text will still be required.

- All students should plan to provide their own Laptop and ArcGIS software for the course.This software only working in the Windows Operating System, if you have a Mac, you can run a Windows virtual machine through your Mac or try and borrow a PC.

If I don't own a laptop, can I borrow one?

There are 3 desktops on location (with ArcGIS installed) for students who cannot provide their own computer but this means you will only be able to work during the class hours.
