We have something for everyone. The "Experience GIS in Tennessee" is a great entry level GIS course. Even for those with more experience, it covers data sets in TN, spatial analysis, and cartography in the current version of ArcGIS. "Cartographic Design Fundamentals" includes necessary details for map making from the judge's viewpoint. This will be great preparation for your next map contest!! There are two classes on LiDAR - "Introduction to LiDAR" and "Advanced LiDAR Uses". Some areas in Tennessee have LiDAR data available including many West TN counties. Take these classes to learn how to use this valuable data set! And for the first time, TNGIC is offering "The GISCI Certification Process - Completing the Application" for those interested in their GISP certification. Bring your documents and COMPLETE the application in class! The classes are an excellent value at $50 for a full day class and $25 for a half day class!! Some of the classes are already filling up! See the attachment for class details and descriptions. Students - don't forget to apply for a student assistantship to attend the conference. Take this opportunity to see GIS at work in Tennessee. You might even land yourself a job!! The application deadline is Friday, April 4th!
