A practical, beginner-friendly introduction to GIS using QGIS.


Over ~18–20 hours you’ll learn how to create professional maps, work with vector and raster data, georeference scanned maps and imagery, and run basic spatial analyses using real-world case studies.

The course is delivered online with a live instructor, in person for groups of 7+ participants, or as a self-paced/asynchronous option with guided exercises, quizzes, and discussion forums.
