QGIS Training in Helena

This instructor-led, live training in Helena (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level earth sciences and engineering professionals who wish to utilize Python for geospatial analysis in both ArcGIS and QGIS environments.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Master Python syntax and control structures to execute geospatial tasks efficiently.
• Employ Pandas, Numpy, and Matplotlib for data analysis and visualization in GIS applications.
• Manage and analyze vector data using Geopandas, Arcpy, and PyQGIS libraries.
• Automate geospatial processes and workflows using Python scripting within ArcGIS and QGIS.
• Develop custom Python-based geoprocessing tools for ArcGIS and QGIS to enhance task efficiency, specifically tailored for government use.

This instructor-led, live online training is aimed at advanced-level learners who wish to acquire the skills necessary to manage large-scale spatial databases using PostGIS and QGIS.

Format of the Course for Government

• Interactive lectures and discussions.
• Extensive exercises and practice sessions.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

Course Customization Options for Government

A geographic information system (GIS) is a sophisticated tool designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The term GIS is also used in the context of geographic information science (GIScience), which refers to the academic discipline that studies these systems and is a significant field within the broader domain of geoinformatics.

QGIS functions as comprehensive geographic information system (GIS) software, enabling users to analyze and edit spatial data, as well as compose and export graphical maps. QGIS supports both raster and vector layers; vector data can be stored as point, line, or polygon features. The software accommodates various formats of raster images and includes georeferencing capabilities. In summary, it allows users to create, edit, visualize, analyze, and publish geospatial information on Windows, Mac, Linux, and BSD systems.

This program, in its first phase, introduces the QGIS interface for general usage. In the second phase, we introduce PyQGIS—the Python libraries of QGIS that enable the integration of GIS functionalities into your Python code or applications. This allows users to develop their own Python plugins tailored to specific GIS needs, enhancing capabilities for government and other public sector workflows.

A geographic information system (GIS) is designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The term GIS is sometimes used interchangeably with geographic information science (GIScience), which refers to the academic discipline that studies these systems. This field constitutes a significant domain within the broader academic discipline of geoinformatics.

This instructor-led, live training (online) is designed for beginner-level participants who wish to gain knowledge of GIS concepts and practical skills in using QGIS, tailored specifically for government applications.
