"Great materials, great instructor and great organization. Thanks!" - Institute for Health Research and Policy, University of Illinois at Chicago
"I especially liked the comprehensiveness of the course as well as the 2-hour segments of learning. Breaking up the learning really helped me retain what I learned. I have taken many IT trainings, but I have to say that Gina Clemmer is one of the best instructors I’ve ever had. I recommend this training to anyone that is interested in learning or improving their GIS skills.” GIS Project Coordinator, NYS Council on Children and Families
"I knew I needed to learn geo-analysis skills and I had to start somewhere. The GIS Essentials course was just the right level to get me where I needed to go. Starting with the basics, working through real-life examples, and upping the complexity made it worth my time. I also appreciated being able to ask questions specific to the projects I was working on. ” Research Data Analyst, Stanford University, School of Medicine
