The Penn State Cooperative Extension Geospatial Technology Program has been conducting ArcView GIS workshops since 1996 and over this period of time our instructors have trained many hundreds of people in how to effectively utilize this software. Our training material has been developed utilizing local Pennsylvania GIS datasets and exercises are geared towards practical applications. Training is conducted using our mobile GIS lab consisting of twenty Dell laptops and can be scheduled at any location in Pennsylvania by request. Each student receives an instructional manual developed and certified by Penn State University along with a cd-rom containing all the data used in the workshop so that the student can repeat any of the exercises at a later date. Our instructors are available after the class as well to assist students if they need help going through the exercise a second time.
