By the end of this QGIS tutorial you will have mastered the most-used QGIS tools. You will emerge with the confidence to do common geospatial tasks in QGIS. You’ll have the skills to quickly advance to intermediate level geospatial projects.


In sections 1-3, you'll download and install QGIS 3, and the practice dataset. Then I’ll teach you basic QGIS skills like opening maps, tables and air photos, and zooming, panning and interactive querying.

In section 4, I’ll teach you how to harness the relationship between maps and tables to simplify complex geographical problems. You'll gain insights into thematic mapping - selecting color schemes, and the need to think about the local geography when you validate your maps. And you'll put your new skills into practice with two thematic mapping projects: shading a data category map and creating time series maps.

In section 4, you'll learn GIS concepts. The four types of GIS objects, the limitations of maps (especially in terms of scale), and map overlay. PLUS, there’s a bonus 69 page Environmental Mapping with GIS eBook.

In section 6 thru 11, I’ll teach you how to present maps using the QGIS Layout feature. 21st century cartography!


This QGIS tutorial has over THREE HUNDRED 5 STAR REVIEWS. Here’s what some of my recent students have to say about my teaching style…

James S: Very detailed information about the software and industry. A great way to level up GIS skills.

Mark L: …Your presentation was excellent, and I understood your presentations, and if I didn't get the process the first time, it was no problem going back and reviewing the section. I look forward to applying what I have learned to my map-making. I also look forward to availing myself of more of your training.

Jonas V: All the steps are well explained and easy to follow. Good audio and practical examples.

John F: Excellent. Especially as you talk us through all the nuts and bolts, what they mean and what they do instead of just assuming we know - we don't - or at least I don't!! Thanks.

Christopher D: I came in with ArcGIS background and wanted to learn the open source side of things. I found the course to be very helpful.

Bryan T: Definitely a good start for anyone planning to learn QGIS for the vary first time. Instructions were very clear too.

Mark F: Good intro class for a beginner GIS user. I'm very quickly realizing the power of using GIS as a tool for many different applications.

André S: Well structured and explained course. Provide a short but complete overview of the technical and conceptual bases of GIS analytics. Some complementary documents and above all a thorough e-book on QGIS provide an extra value of practical learning.

Karin K: Excellent course for beginners like me. I enjoyed being led through the QGIS interface, being introduced to the relevant functions, being able to try out myself, and at the same time getting a profound theoretical background. I especially liked that you discussed the geographer's approach and emphasized how important it is to keep thinking about what you are doing.

All the techniques and concepts I teach in my QGIS tutorials For Beginners series have been proven in the research and consulting environments over the last 24 years.
