Authorized ESRI training
Learn Introduction to ArcGIS I and II at your own office or in our education partner's classroom

Hands-on mentoring
Collaborate with our DBA to learn in your own environment

Mannion Geosystems offers two types of training to accommodate a variety of learning needs and styles. Structured classroom training builds fundamental skills using proven methods and materials. Flexible mentoring blends consulting with training to pick up where the classroom leaves off, or to provide a more personalized experience.

Classroom training: the best place to start. With the variety of ArcGIS learning resources available today, including online classes and self-study workbooks, instructor-led training remains the preferred choice for students. Free from the distractions of the office or home, the classroom provides a focused environment that allows students to learn the most amount of information in the shortest amount of time. Most importantly, students have access to a live instructor who can answer questions, demonstrate concepts, and bring their real-world experience to the topics at hand.

This is where Mannion Geosystems becomes the obvious choice.

Our instructor, Michael Mannion, has been teaching ESRI software for ten years--including seven years with ESRI Training in Redlands, California. Now, as a member of the ESRI authorized training program (ATP), he teaches with the same ESRI course materials, and brings to the classroom the perspective of an insider with the experience of an independent consultant.

If you are considering using your local ATP instructor for ArcGIS training, call Mannion Geosystems before scheduling a class. As a staff instructor and course writer for ESRI, Michael has trained ESRI employees, international distributors, business partners--and even other ATP instructors. We will travel anywhere in the U.S. and its overseas territories¹ to deliver authorized ESRI training, and offer a quality of service that is hard to match--and impossible to beat.

If you prefer to come to us, we offer ATP courses in the vacation destination of Bar Harbor, Maine with our education partner, College of the Atlantic. Spend a rigorous week learning ArcGIS, then relax over the weekend in town or adjacent Acadia National Park. Visit our training schedule for more information.

Collaborative mentoring: flexible, personalized training Sometimes a training class is not what you need, but you still want the benefit of working directly with a knowledgable professional. In these cases, Mannion Geosystems mentoring services is the right solution. With a mentor, you set the agenda to ensure your training covers all of the topics, and only the topics, of interest to you and your staff. Our consultant teaches you the skills and concepts you need through managed discussions and software demonstrations. We will even work with you on your own systems so you can use your new knowledge in practice under the guidance of an expert.

Mentoring is ideal for individuals and groups who need:

• Advanced training beyond what generic, pre-packaged courses cover
• Assistance using your data on your systems from a consultant with a background in adult education
• Training that addresses the needs of a diverse audience, such as GIS analysts and DBAs
• The flexibility to define your own agenda--and change it on-the-fly
