Un valore aggiunto: la disponibilità dei docenti!

Il percorso è ben strutturato e non si limita ad entrare nello specifico delle funzionalità operative del QGis, ma cerca contestualmente di informare sui diversi contesti applicativi dello strumento; il valore aggiunto è il gruppo docenti, sempre disponibile, preparato e puntuale sulle risposte.

Do I need previous experience with QGIS?

Yes. Participants must have a level of QGIS proficiency equivalent to that achieved on our Introduction to Geographic Information Systems with QGIS course.

Do I need previous experience with Giswater?

No previous Giswater experience is required. The course starts with the Giswater ecosystem, installation and setup, basic concepts and the creation of a sample project before progressing to more advanced tools.

What software do I need for the course?

You will need QGIS 3.40 LTR installed. The other required software does not need to be installed before the course begins, as guided instructions will be provided during the course.

Can I continue with more advanced Giswater training?

Yes. This basic course is equivalent to the first module of the Giswater specialisation course on asset management, DSU analysis, SUDS and stormwater tanks in urban sewerage and drainage networks.

Will I receive a QGIS certification?

Yes. At the end of the course, after completing the required activities and passing the assessment, you will receive a QGIS certificate with a unique code that can be verified online. Geoinnova is an official QGIS certifying organisation, so the certificate is issued within the QGIS.org certification programme.
