[OSGeo Africa] Can some help Please

[Chris]

    Perhaps a good question would then be ....

    Where can I find good  ( registered / formal ) and 
    affordable online courses that will allow me to learn what I 
    need to know.

    Here is an example

    https://www.giscourse.com/

    They cover FOSS4G as well as proprietory aplications / 
    platforms

    THIS is what your employer should be offering you

    Pass and THEY pay -- Fail and YOU pay

    I do not know if anything similar is available in Southern 
    Africa ?
