The GGP GIS Basic training course should be attended by those with limited or no previous knowledge of GGP GIS.  This is the foundation course for those who now need to become familiar with GGP, perhaps due to moving to a different department or undertaking a particular project.  Those based at Local Authorities and external Consultants have gained considerable knowledge from completing GGP GIS Basic, through to Intermediate courses.  Attending training at Basic level is an effective way of refreshing skills, as well as being key to progressing to more advanced GGP GIS training courses.

Previous knowledge or experience of using other GIS is advantageous but is not necessary to obtain the benefits of attending this course.

The Course
