course information

 

QGIS is a powerful, cross-platform, free and open-source desktop package. This Geographic Information System (GIS) software is free and accessible to all.
NGIS offers a one-day hands-on express training course that provides participants with an introduction to the fundamentals of GIS, equipping them with the necessary skills to create, edit, manage open spatial data and easily compose printable maps by utilising the core functionality and plugins provided by QGIS at zero cost.
 
This training course will leverage open data freely available in your state so participants will leave with not only skills in the best open source desktop GIS available but also knowledge pertaining to the relevant data that can be used in your jurisdiction. Come and see why many organisations are making the move to QGIS as a replacement for other more expensive desktop GIS packages. See course dates below.
