ArcGIS users who master arcpy scripting can automate hours of manual geoprocessing into minutes; this advanced course builds exactly that capability. Participants write, debug, and package real ArcGIS Python scripts throughout the course.
This advanced course teaches ArcGIS users to script and automate geoprocessing using Python's arcpy module, moving beyond manual tool use into repeatable, scalable workflows. Participants cover arcpy fundamentals, scripting core geoprocessing tools such as buffer, clip, and spatial join, and working with cursors to read, update, and insert data programmatically.
The course also covers converting ModelBuilder models into Python scripts, building custom script tools with a user interface inside ArcGIS, and batch-processing large datasets or automating recurring map production tasks.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Day 1: Introduction to arcpy Scripting
Day 2: Automating Core Geoprocessing Tasks
Day 3: Working with Cursors
Day 4: Converting ModelBuilder Models to Python
Day 5: Building Custom Script Tools
Day 6: Batch Processing and Automation
Day 7: Error Handling in arcpy Scripts
Day 8: Advanced Geoprocessing Automation
Day 9: Packaging and Documenting Tools
Day 10: Applied Automation Project
This advanced course is for ArcGIS users ready to automate hours of manual geoprocessing into minutes using Python.
Participants who complete the ten days receive a Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy, confirming their ability to automate ArcGIS geoprocessing using Python and arcpy.
