QGIS Training
QGIS is a Free, Powerful Open-Source GIS Environment
QGIS is a geographic information system (GIS) environment which allows individuals to analyse and edit spatial data as well as creating and exporting maps. Click on one of the lessons to get started!
"I had not used QGIS before but needed to learn it in order to process model input data and create map outputs for my dissertation project, and the videos on your YouTube channel helped me immensely. Thank you so much for taking the time and putting in the effort to create these lessons and for making them available to the public! I am very grateful, as I am sure others are too."
