And the process is much like sharing the source code of QGIS - that is our Crown Jewel and we share it with everyone, why should we treat training materials any differently? IMHO we should have a similar attitude in sharing the knowledge that is needed to use QGIS otherwise what is the point of making something that people can’t understand how to use? In my experience people go on training courses a) to have a blocked off, dedicated chunk of time to delve into a topic and b) to have access to a guide who understands the topic well and can lead them quickly from zero to hero.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Richard: I share your dream that we can get certifying organisations to build and maintain a share curriculum that we can one day call ‘official’ curriculum for QGIS certification - the lessons platform we built already takes the first steps towards that [3]. Its just a first attempt but hopefully takes us in the right direction….</div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><div>[1] <a href="http://docs.qgis.org/2.18/en/docs/training_manual/" class="">http://docs.qgis.org/2.18/en/docs/training_manual/</a></div><div>[2] <a href="http://docs.qgis.org/2.18/en/docs/gentle_gis_introduction" class="">http://docs.qgis.org/2.18/en/docs/gentle_gis_introduction</a> </div><div>[3] <a href="http://changelog.qgis.org/en/qgis/section/list/" class="">http://changelog.qgis.org/en/qgis/section/list/</a> </div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><div>Regards</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Tim</div><div><br class=""></div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><br class="">-- <br class="">Paolo Cavallini - <a href="http://www.faunalia.eu" class="">www.faunalia.eu</a><br class="">QGIS & PostGIS courses: <a href="http://www.faunalia.eu/training.html" class="">http://www.faunalia.eu/training.html</a><br class=""><a href="https://www.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=IT&q=qgis,arcgis" class="">https://www.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=IT&q=qgis,arcgis</a><br class=""><br class="">_______________________________________________<br class="">Qgis-psc mailing list<br class="">Qgis-psc@lists.osgeo.org<br class="">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-psc</div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""><div class="">
