This introductory online QGIS course will introduce GIS and how it works, as well as an introduction to QGIS as an open software option.
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) underpin much of our modern life, from navigation to social media. The ability to gather, manage and analyse spatial data is an incredibly valuable skill.
During this course, there will be very little actual use of QGIS in this course, but you will learn the background knowledge to enable you to quickly get to grips with QGIS in future courses.
Level descriptors can be found on the following webpage: Framework and Course Level Descriptors
