<p>Hello,</p>
<p>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 <a
href="mailto:nick@nickbearman.com"

<br>
Introduction to QGIS: Spatial Data and Spatial Analysis<br>
=======================================================<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.</p>
<p>Tue 1st, Wed 2nd, Tue 8th and Wed 9th April 2025, 10am – 1pm
(UK/London), online, <a

<br>
Introduction to Spatial Data & Using R as a GIS<br>
===============================================<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
No previous experience of coding is required, although
participants would benefit from some experience of using spatial
data (e.g. Google Maps).<br>

“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.”<br>

<br>
Advanced R as a GIS: Spatial Analysis and Statistics<br>
====================================================<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>Tue 3rd and Wed 4th June 2025, 10am – 1pm (UK/London), online,
