- 1. QGIS AND GRASS ADVANCED LEVEL ONLINE TRAINING Course GIS .com Training TYC GIS
- 2. Intended for users already familiar with the basics of QGIS, who wants to improve their skills, this course is focusing on advanced analysis regarding the management and manipulation of raster data, spatial analysis, using PostGIS and relational databases, performing analysis using Python programming language, network analysis and LIDAR data handling. The course is structured in units with different levels of difficulty that comes in help of the student who will learn to handle the advanced QGIS tools, from complex multicriterial analysis to optimal route calculations and programming with Python. • Highlight the importance and utility of a Geographic Information System (GIS), especially in the elaboration of complex spatial analysis with applicability in engineering design, topography, geology, hydrology. • Understand the advanced concepts of QGIS and GRASS GIS. • Learn about GIS key tools in an appropriate and professional way, create topologies for vector editing, network analysis for finding the best route, closest facility, service area around a location. • Find about all possible difficulties which you may encounter in the execution of GIS projects, and their solutions through practical advanced exercises. • Start programming with Python and develop your own complex tools to facilitate your work.

- 3. Alfonso Noriega Díaz With a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Sciences and a Master in Safety, Hygiene and Ergonomics from University of Almeria, Alfonso has an extensive experience in GIS/CAD and topography training programs. His expertise extends also on private sector as he worked as a co-director in final career projects and PRL Technician during the construction of “Helios Campos de San Juan I y II”. Ricardo Gárcia Álvarez With a Bachelor´s Degree in Geography from Autonom University of Madrid and a Master in Geographic Information Systems from Pontificia University of Salamanca, Ricardo is a Specialist in GIS/Remote Sensing business, with more than 15 years of work experience. His area of expertise extends over transport networks project management, spatial accessibility studies with GIS, sustainable urban mobility plans, traffic studies (macro and micro simulation) and cartography products development (orthorectification, digital restitution and photogrammetry consulting). As an instructor he is responsible for the training program in different private companies like Tragsa (Tragsatec Group) or Prointec (Indra Group). Beatriz Ramos López Beatriz holds a Bachelor Degree in Biology at University of Sevilla, a Master in Geographic Information Systems and another one in Geographic Information Technologies, both of them at the University of Alcala. She has experience in the execution of Web GIS related projects, in the usage of open source software products and in the development of cartographic viewers. Enrolled students in this online course will have access to our virtual e-learning platform (which is available 24 hours), where they will find the content of the course, practical exercises, forum discussion and additional content. One of the advantages of this online platform, is that students can benefit of real time support and assistance offered by the instructor (2 hours per week), whom they can contact via direct messages, regarding course related issues, at any moment. They can also contact the instructor via email. METHOLOGY The course is aimed at students and professionals in Engineering, Architecture, Biology, Geography, Geology and Environmental Sciences who are interested in the application of Geographic Information Systems in their present or future professional activities.
