About Course
Unlock the power of maps, data, and decision-making with our hands-on course on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) using QGIS — one of the most popular open-source GIS tools in the world.
Whether you’re a student, researcher, development professional, urban planner, or simply curious about spatial data, this course will guide you through everything you need to analyze geographic data, create interactive maps, and solve real-world problems using location-based insights.
Starting from the basics, you’ll learn how to navigate QGIS, import and visualize data, perform spatial analysis, and create publication-ready maps—even if you’ve never worked with GIS before. With real-life examples and step-by-step tutorials, this course will help you build career-relevant skills for jobs in environmental studies, agriculture, public health, disaster management, urban planning, and more.
By the end of this course, you’ll not only understand what GIS is but also how to use it confidently, using QGIS for mapping, decision support, and spatial storytelling.
