The Social Data Institute is delighted to be hosting a free two day in person course lead by Nick Bearman on Introduction to QGIS: Spatial Data and Spatial Analysis.
In this two day course you will learn what GIS is, how it works and how you can use it to create maps and perform spatial analysis. We assume no prior knowledge of GIS and you will learn how to get data into the GIS, how to produce maps using your own data and what you can and cannot do with spatial data. You will also learn how to work with a variety of different data sources and types (including XY coordinate data and address or postcode data) and using spatial overlays, point in polygon analysis and spatial joins.
This course requires no prior knowledge of GIS or spatial data and is open to SHS students and staff only. A level of basic computer experience is required; such as using websites, Word and saving & moving files.
Please bring your own laptop to this course. Installation instructions will be provided before the course for the software required
