Ever attended expensive, out-of town, ArcInfo training and then returned to work not knowing where to actually start? Frustrated to receive training that doesn't apply to you? Need to produce immediate results, not just enhance your resume with training classes you have attended? Now there is an alternative.

Elroi Consulting offers a customized training course to teach city and county employees how to use the ArcGIS components of ArcInfo 8 (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox, and the Geodatabase). This is not just an alternative to the standard training but a whole new approach.

• Train and do exercises with your data.
• Have the training speak to your problems.
• Intersperse training sessions with your projects, so that you produce a real result at the end of training.
• Receive follow-up support to the training that answers your problems and questions.
• Receive on-line training materials that can be shared with other employees and used as a dynamic source of reference after training is complete.

Training occurs at your site, with your own data and on your own computers. Examples are tailored to your data. And most importantly, training is delivered in conjunction with a pilot project. This type of training is spread out over a period of several months, enabling your students to learn skills and then to apply them to their problems.
