GIS can be complicated and god knows there’s a lot of technical terminology. My two-day course focuses on jargon-free teaching to help you and your team develop your skills. Suitable for beginners, folks looking for more in-depth learning, and those of you migrating your GIS processes to open-source tech. To make it all a bit easier to digest, the two days are spaced out rather than back-to-back.
Places are limited to 4 delegates to ensure a high level of individual attention, If you're booking for more than 4 people or would like an in-person course for your team please get in touch to discuss.
What this course covers:
Getting started with QGIS, concepts & using the software
Creating & Editing Vector Data, using attribute tables, labelling, and loading data
Using & Sourcing Raster Data, using WMS Data Sources
Styling and classifying data, the basics of cartography & sharing styles
Using the FSC toolbar & other recommended plugins
Sourcing & using data, checking validity, licensing & copyright

What you’ll need for this course:
To complete the course, you’ll need an installation of QGIS, please ensure it’s a minimum of version 3.34. QGIS is a free and open-source software you can download from https://www.qgis.org/download/.
The course will be hosted online via video conferencing software and I recommend you have a second screen to see your work booklets and the QGIS software at the same time. Alternatively, you could print these off but there are over 100 pages.
What happens after I book?
Once you've booked your course you will receive a confirmation email detailing the course time and date. I will send you the course work booklets & sample data 7 days in advance of the course start date for you to set up and download.
