Testimonials

The following are some quotes from students who have used the video training exercises:

IMS Training Template:

"...IMS template offered me an workable alternative to a $30,000 solution to provide basic search/analysis capabilities via the web of the City's new "Enterprise" GIS provided by [Name of consultant withheld]."

Other training materials:

"I have an intern helping out this summer...He just got a minor in GIS with a lot of ArcGIS experience...His overall impression was excellent and I'm surprised by how quick he's producing results for me.  When I think of the amount of time it might have cost me bringing him up-to-speed, the price [of the training] was a no-brainer."

"Having gone through and completed multiple ESRI Virtual Campuses, I really enjoy using the gisadvisor.com tutorial and being able to watch a video and pause or rewind it when I need to slow down. The lessons also followed an excellent pace and I never really felt overwhelmed by the procedures."

"I've never used GIS s/w before Oct 1, 2004.  Could I have worked through Manifolds documentation - yes; however, after a 3 days with your training, I'm where I would have been after about 6 weeks on my own. It is a great overview and provides enough details to allow a user to be productive in less than a week.  Would not hesitate to recommend this training to anyone who uses Manifold. "

“I really like the training videos.  It was much easier to work at my own pace.”

 “I found the training videos much easier to follow than traditional lecture style exercises, or following along with a handout.”

"After using the training videos I felt more comfortable with my company's purchase of Manifold GIS."

"I've worked through the first three lessons in the Manifold GIS Training.  I
think they are quite good!  I would recommend that people doing this watch
the lessons first, then go through and actually DO them."

"Good job on these!  The pace is good as to not make it seem overwhelming."
