Description
This course is complete introduction to GIS and QGIS. Starting at the beginner level we'll cover basic terminology and conventions, some of the fundamental principles of GIS, an overview of what QGIS is and then we'll get started with practical experience of using QGIS. All sample data is original and provided for you.
The course will take around 2 hours to complete but playing around with the software is a great way to learn so don't worry if it takes you longer.
The course is structured a mixture of lectures, quizzes and we'll end with a practical to put into practice all the knowledge you've gained. The practical element is crucial and by all means try some new things out with the software. Doing is learning!
You should take this course if you need to learn the basics of QGIS quickly and if you'd like to sample QGIS before taking other courses. More advanced courses will be coming soon.

Oliver Burdekin
GIS instructor and consultant
Through his work on tropical conservation expeditions since 2006, Oliver saw GIS to be a perfect opportunity to tie together his interests in conservation and all things map. With a background in environmental science, a masters in environment and enterprise and a post grad diploma in GIS, the launch of burdGIS was a natural
progression.
burdGIS have now worked in several countries worldwide on projects ranging from on the ground data capture in Honduras to Android app
development in Northern Ireland. At the core of burdGIS is a desire and
enthusiasm to share knowledge and ideas through training and
collaboration.

Reviews
Had no prior experience with GIS so this course definitely helped a lot! Might not be the most suitable course for experienced professionals though.
