In this video series, you will learn useful tools and techniques that will allow you to expertly craft extraordinarily beautiful maps in the wonderful free and open source software QGIS. Topic skill levels range from the basic through to the complex and include symbology, using OpenStreetMap data, shapebursts, coastal waterlining, glow effects, overview maps, using layout templates to save you time, basemaps, rule based symbology, labeling, and much more. With this course, you have everything you need to become a cartographic master!

The course is taught by a 30 year GIS veteran and University Instructor, who not only teaches GIS concepts, but regularly uses QGIS to complete projects of all shapes and sizes. If you want to level-up your QGIS game, you are in the right place.

Wallowing through YouTube in search of QGIS knowledge can be exhausting. With this class, you not only get the video demonstrations, but you get the same data that the Instructor is using, allowing you to follow along. You have the option of simply watching the demo, or actively participating. Best of all, your purchase will be here, ready when you have a cartographic challenge to conquer and you need a quick refresher.

The best part of the course may just be the Resources section, which holds a treasure trove of files that will jumpstart you into greatness. Style files, layout template files, basemaps, data sources are all yours with this class. Just this section alone is worth the price of admission. If you want to become a carto-rockstar, let’s go!!
