Geospatial Training and Capacity Building
Awareness and accessibility of geographic information systems (GIS) and associated geospatial technology has increased dramatically in the last decade, sparked largely by the launch of Google Maps in 2005. The proliferation and simplification of location based data and APIs and the rise of open source software means you can use mapping more than ever.
What we find is that most people were not made aware of the power of GIS, so it is important to learn how to use mapping technology and combine it with data from your business and public open data.
The gap can be filled with capacity building and technical training in organisations by NGIS..
To help companies and individuals build their spatial knowledge, NGIS delivers a range of training courses for technical skills concerning GIS software. Most of the courses teach you how to use premium GIS stacks like Esri, Skyline or Carto, but there are also open source courses for Google Earth Pro and QGIS.
Beyond technical training, NGIS also delivers workshops to executive teams to build awareness of the suite of spatial tools and how they can help them make decisions and gain competitive advantage. Finally, NGIS performs knowledge transfer days where they sit with teams embedded within an organisation and enable them to meet their exact challenges in the business context.
