[OSGeo-UK] Introductory & Advanced GIS Training Courses in QGIS and R from Nick Bearman

[Nick Bearman]

Hello,

I have some spaces on my up coming Introductory and Advanced GIS 
Training Courses using QGIS and R over the next few months. More details 
below, and any questions, please email me on nick at nickbearman.com.

Introduction to QGIS: Spatial Data and Spatial Analysis
=======================================================

In this four session course you will learn what GIS is, how it works and 
how you can use it to create maps and perform spatial analysis. We 
assume no prior knowledge of GIS and you will learn how to get data into 
the GIS, how to produce maps using your own data and what you can and 
cannot do with spatial data. You will also learn how to work with a 
variety of different data sources and types (including XY coordinate 
data and address or postcode data) and using spatial overlays, point in 
polygon analysis and spatial joins.

This course requires no prior knowledge of GIS or spatial data. A level 
of basic computer experience is required; such as using websites, Word 
and saving & moving files.

Tue 1st, Wed 2nd, Tue 8th and Wed 9th April 2025, 10am – 1pm 
(UK/London), online, https://www.ncrm.ac.uk/training/show.php?article=13700


Introduction to Spatial Data & Using R as a GIS
===============================================

In this two session course we will explore how to use R to import, 
manage and process spatial data. We will also cover the process of 
making choropleth maps, as well as some basic spatial analysis. Finally, 
we will cover the use of loops to make multiple maps quickly and easily, 
one of the major benefits of using a scripting language to make maps, 
rather than traditional graphic point-and-click interface.

No previous experience of coding is required, although participants 
would benefit from some experience of using spatial data (e.g. Google Maps).

Tue 27th and Wed 28th May 2025, 10am – 1pm (UK/London), online, 
https://www.ncrm.ac.uk/training/show.php?article=13706


“It was a great introduction – I came to the session with NO 
understanding and have left feeling much more confident to learn more on 
my own.”
Olivia Reeves-O’Toole, PhD Student, University of Liverpool


Advanced R as a GIS: Spatial Analysis and Statistics
====================================================

In this two part course we will show you how to prepare and conduct 
spatial analysis on a variety of spatial data in R, including a range of 
spatial overlays and data processing techniques. We will also cover how 
to use GeoDa to perform exploratory spatial data analysis, including 
making use of linked displays and measures of spatial autocorrelation 
and clustering.

You can take this course as a follow-on from the ‘Introduction to 
Spatial Data & Using R as a GIS’ course, or if you already have some 
previous knowledge of R / RStudio and spatial data, you can take this as 
a stand alone course. Email me if you have questions or to check 
eligibility.

This course used to be called Confident Spatial Analysis and Statistics 
in R & GeoDa, and is the same material with a new, better, less wordy name!

Tue 3rd and Wed 4th June 2025, 10am – 1pm (UK/London), online,
