Learn how to leverage the power of QGIS to improve your organizations spatial strategy
If you are a GIS professional who has been interested in exploring the options for open source GIS, there has never been a better time to start learning. The release of a major new version of QGIS means that what you learn today will likely be valid for many years. There have also been many improvements that make it a reasonable choice for your core GIS application.
In this course you will learn:
What open source really means.
How QGIS compares with commercial offerings.
How to navigate the QGIS interface.
What data source options are available and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
How to style your data.
How to use selections and filtering to control which features you view and modify.
How to work with attributes.
How to make beautiful printed maps.
How to create a map atlas.
How to analyze vector and raster data.
How to build spatial models for repeated tasks.
How to get started with python scripting.
How to work with 3D data.
Much more!
QGIS is not perfect but I believe that what it does, it does very well. Especially with multi-user editing of enterprise data. I am not anti-commercial GIS, however I do believe that all GIS professionals should have a good understanding of all their options so that they may choose the best tool for the job.
By the end of this course students will have a working knowledge of how to interact with the QGIS interface, the data storage options that are available to them, how to create beautifully styled maps for printing, the basics of analyzing geospatial data, and much more!

I have been programming and working with database applications for over 30 years, and specializing in geospatial applications for over 20 years. I am a believer in the 80/20 pareto principle which suggests that you only need to understand 20% of a subject in order to do 80% of your work. My goal in all my courses is to teach...
Yes.
Passion for details when it comes to explain things.
First of all this «QGIS» “basic level” not “intermediate one”. The topics and explanation is just minimum for everyday «QGIS» usage.
Out-off date «QGIS» information is constantly compared to deprecated «ArcGIS desktop».
Misleading course title. “QGIS for «ArcGIS Desktop» users” will be more suitable.
A bit chaotic lecture structure.
For most examples visually hard-perceptible data is used.
There is a lot of useful information, but sometimes it is masked-out by not very useful texts.
“Section 6 :: 43. Working with reports in QGIS 3.0” is the same video as “42. Creating the grid for a map atlas”. No video for creating reports.
Quite a lot of promises during a lecture about the content, is never realised in any other lecture of this course.
This course was perfect, learnt so much about QGIS in a quick and effective way! Thank you!
Great lessons, but some content you use in your are not available for us like djbasin_dem.
you work some data which are not avaibe for us. If we have an access to these dat which you wrok, able us to follow you and do what are you doing simultaneously
This course shows me a lot of ways to use QGIS from very simple operations to more professional. If you using QGIS it's hard to now everything. This course give me a lot of new ideas and knowledge to work in more automatic environment.
Great beginner course that introduces a lot of topics. Mike gives enough information on each topic to get you started, then it is up to you to build from there. He has a great teaching style, as he is relaxed, but explains things very well in a way that is easy to understand. Mike also provides great examples to illustrate the many topics, which is a great compliment to his thorough explanations.
Very informative course. I'm not a GIS professional but I do a bit of mapping work every so often. This course has taught me valuable skills on navigating QGIS and I now have more than enough knowledge to complete my work.

At times, especially regarding spatial database management options, it was like drinking from a fire hose. The info was comprehensible and I think the 80/20 principle valid. Course was well worth the effort.
