This 1 day course will teach you how to create attractive, informative maps using QGIS and will extend your skills and develop your techniques for editing data in QGIS.
Taught by means of tutor-led teaching and hands-on exercises, we’ll show you how to innovate your working practices for digitising, editing, and exploring your data. The course will also help you extend your skills in geo-processing, databases and understanding the issues surrounding data quality.
This course is most suitable for:
Those with QGIS experience with a responsibility for processing, creating and editing geo-spatial data.
