Welcome to QGIS Advanced! QGIS is a high impact, global project. QGIS.org provides open access to best-in-class tools for visualising, creating, editing, analysing and publication of spatially linked data and information products. GIS to achieve your goals by learning the program’s fundamentals, including using, making, editing, visualising, and sharing geospatial data.

This one-day training course will build on some of the areas covered in the QGIS Foundations course and will provide participants with more detailed coverage of technical capabilities. At the end of this course participants will be able to use QGIS for advanced operational tasks involving map projections, data modelling and management, advanced analysis, querying and editing.
