About the workshop

In this two-day introductory workshop, you'll become familiar with QGIS, the free and open source desktop GIS used by millions around the world.

Whether you're completely new to GIS or looking to build confidence with the basics, this course is designed to give you a clear, practical foundation that works for beginners from any discipline.

Using real-world spatial data, you'll learn how to bring different datasets together to explore, analyse, and visualise information, and how to communicate your results through clear, professional maps.
