  • Terra GIS is offering "Practical QGIS" - a 3 day class taught online December 7th through 9th, 2020 live from Seattle.
    • Even though this is an online version of the class it will focus on learning QGIS doing practical exercises in a workshop style setting. ArcGIS users will learn how to easily transition to QGIS (or to using QGIS in addition to their existing GIS software/ toolset). Participants can choose to participate one, two or all three days.
