Description
After completing this course, you will be able to implement complex projects with QGIS. You will know tools for efficiently reviewing, editing, capturing, and visualizing geographic data. You will understand the properties of various data formats such as PostGIS and GeoPackage and know how to manage data within a project. You will be able to create workflows for geodata processing using processing tools, create print layouts, and import INTERLIS data. Additionally, you will be able to write expressions and know where to use them in QGIS.
The course lasts 2 days (9:00 am – 5:00 pm) and costs 1190 CHF per person. This price includes registration, training materials, official certification, and two lunches.
