Fauna & Flora and WILDLABS invite you to a free, asynchronous, and four-part e-learning series that will build your confidence using GIS within conservation work. The courses are beginner-friendly and will have you working from fundamental theory up to using spatial analysis and geoprocessing in real-world scenarios.

This is Course 2: Introduction to QGIS. It is suitable for someone completely new to using QGIS but with familiarity of the GIS fundamental theory. (If you don't have GIS fundamental theory, check out Course 1!) This course will also help those who have used QGIS (or another desktop GIS software) in the past but want a refresher on the basics.

Course 2 will cover:

  • How to download QGIS
  • Becoming familiar with the QGIS interface
  • Organising your materials and folders
  • Adding data
  • Looking at layer properties and changing the symbology
  • Creating a print layout and exporting it
