QGIS Crash Course for Beginners

This course will enable students at a beginner level to master the very basic but most powerful tools and uses of one of the most widely used GIS applications in the world, in under 40 minutes! The knowledge is straightforward but the outputs and the applications are endless – whether as part of your work in engineering or planning consultancy, as part of a project portfolio to bolster your CV for early career roles, master this very powerful but simple skill and stand out from the rest of your peers in industry in learning how to use a very powerful application in industry!

My name is Samuel Islam, and I am a transport planning and economics consultant with over 3 years in industry but extensive use of QGIS in my work – I have seen first-hand the power and the capabilities of using the application in aiding project outputs in consultancy, and the niche nature of the skill which is not widely used by everyone in the industry – a powerful tool in need of being more readily used and dispersed across consultancy practice to truly maximise the potential and the potency of its uses in industry and in planning, paving a new mode of working through the scope of QGIS.
