We are planning to offer Open Source Desktop GIS (mainly QGIS) training
course in near future. More details will be published on
http://lutraconsulting.co.uk/
At the moment we do free introducionary sessions (a small workshops with
basic examples of raster and vector processing in QGIS and GRASS). It's a
very good start for students. Let me know if anyone interested.
Cheers
