Attention Researchers, College Students and Professionals: Do You Want to add QGIS to your Toolkit without having the Hassle of Enrolling in a College GIS Course?
WANT YOUR COLLEAGUES TO SEE YOU NAVIGATE QGIS LIKE A SEASONED PROFESSIONAL?
Learn the First Steps That All QGIS Professionals Learn When They Start Out. Join 3,450+ students in the BESTSELLING QGIS tutorial on Udemy!
Have you been trying to learn to use QGIS without any luck?
You have looked for QGIS tutorials around the web but the information you find is incomplete, often out-of-date and narrow in its focus.
Thats understandable because the best GIS training is usually for expensive commercial GISs and the lessons for the FREE, equally functional, QGIS 3 are mostly written by volunteers.
In "QGIS tutorial for Beginners #1: Orientation. +Free 111p eBook " I teach you the beginners basics of QGIS using HD videos, free eBook and teaching dataset, Step-by-Step Follow-Along style.
It is as simple as watching the videos on your computer, referring to the eBook resource if you need to, and following along with the exercises using the FREE QGIS 3 SoftwareStart now and you'll learn to use QGIS in no-time. You could be working on your own QGIS project this time tomorrow!
Imagine what would be like to have your own GIS maps on your own computer and under your control.
Enrol in my QGIS tutorial now and dip your toes in the water of one the most popular GISs ever - QGIS 3. As your instructor I will use my 24+ years of GIS consulting, research and teaching to guide you in your first QGIS steps.
Let me remove the pain of stumbling and fumbling as you muddle through your daily GIS mapping tasks. Using videos, downloadable 111 Page eBook and teaching datasets, I start you off with the basics of QGIS, Step-by-Step Follow-Along style, and build on them so you can create your first Thematic map.
At completion of this QGIS tutorial you will have mastered the most-used QGIS tools. You will emerge with the confidence to complete basic Geospatial tasks in QGIS and the skills to quickly advance to intermediate level Geospatial projects.
QGIS tutorial for Beginners #1: Orientation. +Free 111p eBook will teach youGeneric GIS mapping functionality: How to open, navigate and interpret GIS maps and air photos, and change how they look on screen.
The basics of Geospatial analysis.
QGIS Thematic map creation: Create your first shaded thematic map. I show you a simple way to find a colour scheme for any Thematic map. I also talk about why it can be important to generalize Geospatial data for some audiences.
QGIS time-series Thematic map creation: I show you a simple technique that even QGIS beginners can use to demonstrate "change" in a map theme over time. We'll compare Land Use maps interpreted 28 years apart.
I show you that the shapes and colours in GIS mapping and GIS air photos can be surrogates for both socio-economic and environmental information: Why visual clues such as block size, watercourse shape and even vegetation condition reveals all sorts of valuable information. These techniques are not even on the radar of many GIS technicians.
Geospatial data validation: Why it is important to validate GIS mapping and how to go about doing it.
Understand GIS conceptually: Why maps have limitations. Why GIS maps are also rich databases. What is map overlay. What are the four GIS map objects.
Understand the relationship between GIS mapping and the tables that lies behind it.
My name is Ian Allan. While doing my post-graduate research, I co-authored (world top 100) Monash Universitys first two GIS courses. In those courses I taught Grid Cell GIS and Vector GIS to both Undergraduate and Graduate students.
I have authored and co-authored fifteen peer reviewed publications. I have worked professionally as a GIS researcher, taught GIS to thousands of students, and worked as a GIS consultant on projects as diverse as the following United Nations: Post tsunami strategic planning in Banda Ache Australian Federal Government: National Broadband strategic assessment. Victoria Australias Department of Premier and Cabinet: Housing affordability modelling. Local Government: Environmental sustainability modelling for planners, Water industry: Buried water pipe condition modelling. Ease-of-digging modelling. 3d landscape modelling.
For the past 24 years Ive been a GIS researcher teacher and consultant. Over 5400 students have enrolled in my Udemy GIS courses. Heres what some of my students say about my teaching styleCaesar says: It was a very good class, just what I needed to get familiar with QGIS.
Carina says: Perfect course to whom have never used QGIS! Very detailed on the explanations and really generous additional materials to study.
Brian says: "It was very thorough and comprehensive Ian also covered aspects of GIS Analysis - which increases your learning and appreciation of the capabilities of how powerful the GIS tool can be"Umar says: "Ian is vast and knowledgeable in what he teaches. I would do another course by Ian if he offered it"Nathan says: "Really great introductory-level course! The examples were simple to follow, but also very useful. All the work can be finished while watching the videos, there was no extra work to be done without guidance. I really look forward to the next course by this instructor. - Cheers and well done!"Boojhawon says: "Simple and very clear lectures with the minimum basics/backgrounds to get a taste of what awaits us further and also making us think of what we can do more."SRIJON says: I have experience in using ArcGIS. I needed the QGIS taste for which I took this. If anybody who has little experience in GIS will love the 'Techniques and Tips' parts, which are very clearly and elaborately described, which will greatly help to be a GIS interpreter. And I love the line "Don't just be a tourist." It should be the tricky line between a GIS analyst and a technician. The course will help me in my future works.

Ian Allan
Hi. It's great to meet you.
QGIStutorials are what I teach. Take my tutorials and learn to use QGIS!
My QGIS tutorials make use of usethe free QGIS, They come from the place of an experienced geographer and GIS consultant.
* I teach Professional people how to incorporate spatial into their projects.
* I teach GIS technicians how to work with the non GIS savvy.
I have worked with Geographical Information Systems for over two decades. I have worked as an academic at Monash University and a consultant in my own GIS consultancy.
GIS is a very broad topic and there are many ways to teach it. My approach is that of a geographer who uses GIS as a tool to solve geographical problems. Most GISs these days are similarly capable, but for me there is a problem in that too many GIS professionals do not understand the data they manage. Too often I see professionals discussing this-or-that modelling algorithm while failing to understand that the data theyre using for their modelling is not up to the task.
Currently based in Victoria, Australia, I have consulted on a diverse range of projects environmental, sustainability planning, and human. Clients have included the United Nations, the Australian Federal Government, Victorian State Government, Local Governments, Australian Universities, and Water Utilities.
My refereed publications are diverse
* Environmental sustainability modelling for Local Government planning.
* Housing affordability modelling for Stat
