GIS Development Training Course Overview

In our increasingly interconnected world, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become the bedrock of data-driven decision-making. GIS is more than just a mapping tool; it's a powerful framework that enables the collection, management, analysis, and visualisation of spatial data. By integrating various data types and harnessing the power of spatial location, GIS transforms layers of information into insightful maps and 3D scenes.

Proficiency in GIS is invaluable for professionals across diverse domains. Urban Planners, Environmental Scientists, Data Analysts, Disaster Management Experts, and anyone dealing with location-based data can benefit significantly from mastering GIS. In a world where location data plays a pivotal role, GIS empowers professionals to make informed decisions, optimise resource allocation, and visualise complex information in a spatial context.

In this intensive 1-day GIS Development Training Course, delegates will embark on a journey through the fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems. They will explore the realm of spatial analysis and cartography, gaining insights into the core concepts of GIS. Delegates will become familiar with ArcGIS, the leading software tool in the GIS domain, and understand how GIS has evolved from traditional paper maps to globally integrated electronic software packages.

Course Objectives

  • To provide a comprehensive understanding of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) fundamentals
  • To explore the realm of spatial analysis and cartography within the GIS domain
  • To familiarise delegates with ArcGIS, the leading software tool for GIS
  • To demonstrate the evolution of GIS from traditional paper maps to electronic software packages
  • To equip delegates with the knowledge to analyse data using geoprocessing tools
  • To guide delegates in creating and using map packages, uploading them to ArcGIS online, and creating layer files and packages

Upon completion of this Data Science Training, delegates will possess a solid understanding of GIS fundamentals and proficiency in using ArcGIS, the industry-leading software. They will be able to analyse spatial data, create insightful maps, and leverage GIS capabilities for informed decision-making.

­­­­Vancouver, a popular and beautiful city in the Canadian province of British Columbia, has an average population of roughly 603,500 spread across 44.39 square miles of land.  At The Knowledge Academy, we offer 50,000 classroom based training courses throughout the different areas of Vancouver, in order to enhance people’s learning in an array of subject areas.  Education in Canada is generally funded by federal, provincial, and local governments; the system is divided into primary, secondary and post-secondary education and is operated under provincial jurisdiction.  On the whole, there are 190 days in a school year, starting in September and ending towards the last Friday of June.  Some popular and highly regarded universities in Canada include: the University of Toronto (notable alumni including: William Lyon Mackenzie King, Vincent Massey, Donald Sutherland and Lesra Martin), the University of British Columbia (notable alumni including: Eddie Peng, Justin Trudeau and Nardwuar the Human Serviette), and the University of Alberta (notable alumni including: Dayo Wong, George Stanley and Beverley McLachlin).  In Vancouver, it is compulsory for residents under the age of 16 to complete compulsory schooling – from low level elementary (kindergarten + grades 1-7), to high level secondary (grades 8-12); Vancouver’s secondary schools are also commonly subdivided into two groups - starting with junior secondary and then followed by senior secondary level.  In most cases, expatriates of Vancouver will send their children to public schools.  The public schools in Vancouver are generally well-respected – scoring highly in student assessments at an international level, as well as nationally, and students normally have a reputation for positive academic success and achievements. Other residents of Vancouver opt for their children to attend private schools instead; although private schools are few-and-far-between in the area as opposed to other areas of Canada, there is still nonetheless a large private school community, most of which is largely either a religious or international institution.
