Over 2 days you'll learn the fundamentals of QGIS and how to use the Natural England BNG template and use it within the QFIELD app on your device. QFIELD is a great app that allows you to take your BNG template on-site and bring it back into the office. No need for paper or notes that can be blown away or damaged by the elements. No concerns about losing data. This course will help you get to grips with all things QFIELD to make your data collection a hell of a lot easier.

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.
