Farallon's Training and Technology Transfer Approach

Custom Training for GIS Clients

Enable our clients to self-reliantly manage their own geodata and applications.

Farallon develops and delivers comprehensive hands-on training that is both flexible and customized. Our training is not typically product or time specific but specific to custom GIS end-user workflows or a GIS application development.

Trainers in all major GIS software

We meet our customer's training goals via a workflow centric approach. This workflow-focused approach allows our customers to utilize training as a way to "jumpstart" efficient uses of GIS technology tailored to the specific needs of our clients. Our training methodology also provides practical course content that is critical to the successful implementation of any GIS solution. The delivered course content also becomes a redeemable GIS asset for the organization. The goal is an efficient and effective transfer of the knowledge necessary for the client's successful ongoing GIS effort.

Our training process begins before any training class takes place. The Farallon trainer interviews the students to understand corporate needs and goals. Based on these interviews we develop an agenda to meet customer specific requirements. Farallon then requests customer data and utilizes it in the development of lab exercises for the training class. Student evaluations and post training follow-up have shown that our customer's success with GIS has increased when customer data is combined with process-oriented training workflows.
