Training prerequisites

You are expected to have basic IT skills and to be familiar with MS Office applications, particularly Excel, or another spreadsheet application.

Requirements:

In order to successfully complete this course you should ensure the following:

1. You must have use of a computer and internet connection for the duration of the training programme.

2. QGIS desktop software downloaded and installed

This should be organised in advance of the training, as the application installer is a large file (approx. 1GB); once installed you should ensure it is functioning correctly. Follow the Guidance document to download and install QGIS

3. Basic QGIS knowledge

Ideally, you should have completed the GRID3 QGIS Foundations training Programme. Alternatively, you should complete our GRID3 course on QGIS core functionality, or hold equivalent knowledge.

4. GRID3 training data, downloaded and saved locally:

• Download all data required for this programme as a single ZIP file from here: GRID3 training data downloads
• When the zip file has downloaded, extract the files and save the folder (e.g. Microplanning GIS_Training Data) to a location on a local drive, such as directly to your 'C:/' drive
• The file path to your data would therefore read:
  C:\Microplanning GIS_Training Data
  Note, you can store the folder anywhere you wish on your local drives, but we would advise against cloud-based storage.
