Online QGIS Training in the UAE

A geographic information system (GIS) is designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. The acronym GIS can also refer to geographic information science (GIScience), which is the academic field that studies these systems and falls under the broader discipline of geoinformatics.

QGIS serves as a geographic information system (GIS) software enabling users to analyze and modify spatial data, as well as create and export graphical maps. It supports both raster and vector layers; vector data can be in point, line, or polygon formats. QGIS handles multiple raster image formats and can georeference images. In essence, it allows users to create, edit, visualize, analyze, and publish geospatial information on Windows, Mac, Linux, and BSD.

In the initial phase of this program, we will introduce the general use of the QGIS interface. During the second phase, we will cover PyQGIS—the Python libraries for QGIS—which allows you to integrate GIS functionalities into your Python code or applications, enabling you to develop your own Python plugins based on specific GIS features.
