QGIS for ArcGIS Users
Learn how to use QGIS, the open source desktop GIS software.
Next class: TBD
This is a one-day course that will teach current users of Esri’s ArcGIS how to use the widely popular open source QGIS desktop GIS software. In this course we will help users wishing to transition to the QGIS Desktop from ArcGIS Desktop software. This course is not designed to teach GIS, so users are expected to be familiar with what GIS is and basic GIS capabilities.
