QGIS Quick Start (Beginner Level)

• No prior GIS knowledge is required.
• Participants should be able to operate basic computer functions such as installing software, navigating folders, and opening applications.
• An interest in maps, geography, or spatial planning will be helpful.

A geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The acronym GIS is sometimes used for geographic information science (GIScience) to refer to the academic discipline that studies geographic information systems and is a large domain within the broader academic discipline of geoinformatics.

This instructor-led, live training (online ) is aimed at beginner-level who wish to gain knowledge on GIS concepts and practical skills for using QGIS.
