The course is structured a mixture of lectures, quizzes and we'll end with a practical to put into practice all the knowledge you've gained. The practical element is crucial and by all means try some new things out with the software. Doing is learning!

Through his work on tropical conservation expeditions since 2006, Oliver saw GIS to be a perfect opportunity to tie together his interests in conservation and all things map. With a background in environmental science, a masters in environment and enterprise and a post grad diploma in GIS, the launch of burdGIS was a natural
progression.

burdGIS have now worked in several countries worldwide on projects ranging from on the ground data capture in Honduras to Android app development in Northern Ireland. At the core of burdGIS is a desire and enthusiasm to share knowledge and ideas through training and collaboration.
