QGIS-Certification Course
From GIS Fundamentals to Practical Spatial Analysis
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become an essential tool in ecology, wildlife conservation, environmental science, research, and spatial planning. This 3-Day QGIS Workshop provides a beginner-friendly introduction to GIS and practical spatial analysis using QGIS, a free and open-source GIS software.
The workshop takes participants step-by-step from understanding spatial data and basic QGIS tools to performing vector and raster analysis, working with satellite imagery and environmental datasets, and creating professional thematic maps. Through live demonstrations and hands-on exercises, participants will apply GIS techniques to practical environmental and real-world spatial problems.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have the skills to work with spatial data, perform basic GIS analysis, and produce a complete thematic map as a final output.
