It is great to see a course geared towards QGIS! The course hits on components of the core competencies for entry level geospatial occupations as outlined here. It includes lectures and hands-on exercises. If you can't wait or can't find time, the course materials for this course and others are available at GitHub: https://github.com/FOSS4GAcademy.
From the OSGeo listserve, this course is part of a larger effort to educate about GIS and FOSS GIS called "Geo For All" and GeoAcademy. This is the first course in a sequence of five, so more courses will be on the way!
The other four courses are:
- Spatial Analysis Using QGIS
- Data Acquisition and Management Using QGIS
- Cartography Using QGIS
- Remote Sensing Using QGIS
If you know someone who is interested in GIS or QGIS and likes independent study, it looks like a solid opportunity!

How can I do it?

Covele,
ReplyDeleteI searched the website. It does not look to be currently available. You can do the training on your own/self-paced. Visit: https://github.com/FOSS4GAcademy for all course materials. - Jon
