Description

This QGIS 3 course provides a comprehensive, hands-on approach to learning Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It is designed for beginners with basic knowledge of GIS and geodesy concepts, focusing on practical application rather than extensive theory.The course curriculum covers essential QGIS functions and GIS operations. We begin with QGIS installation and interface familiarization, then progress through vector data management, including the creation and manipulation of point, line, and polygon layers. Students will learn to perform table operations, field calculations, and data entry.Map design is a key component, encompassing symbology application, labeling techniques, and the creation of professional layout elements. The course also introduces fundamental geoprocessing tools such as Buffer, Intersect, Clip, and Merge, along with basic spatial analysis techniques including interpolation, slope mapping, and watershed delineation.Each topic is explored through practical exercises, allowing students to immediately apply their learning to real-world scenarios. By the course's conclusion, participants will have developed practical skills in QGIS 3, preparing them for GIS tasks across various fields.This course is ideal for those seeking to quickly gain practical QGIS skills through direct, hands-on learning, without extensive theoretical discussions. Our step-by-step approach ensures you'll gain confidence in using QGIS for diverse mapping and spatial analysis tasks.
