Training
 


We provide a complete range of training courses to support the software products that we sell. We offer a range of standard training courses in both MapInfo® and MicroStation, and courses are provided to suit all levels of competency from Introductory through to Advanced courses.

All our trainers are certified instructors and can work with you to customise the course to meet their specific requirements. This customisation can include the use of data that is already familiar to you, thereby significantly reducing the learning curve because you can associate the new software functions with familiar data. Training can be carried out at our premises or in your own offices.

MapInfo® Professional® - Introductory Course

Duration: Two days

This course is an entry-level course for staff new to MapInfo® Professional®. It includes hands-on use of the software to create, edit and analyse geo-referenced data. This course will enable staff to utilise MapInfo's different views of data and its user interface. Students learn to understand and use the layering system and perform querying and geographic searching of maps and data, including thematic mapping. Additional topics covered are reporting and printing using the layout window for effective map presentation. GeoCoding, Annotation, buffering, importing & exporting Data, creation of map objects and population of associated tables and managing those tables are also dealt with in a comprehensive manner during this two day introductory course.


MapInfo® Professional® - Advanced Course

Duration: Two days

This in-depth two-day course explores the potential of MapInfo's more powerful and complex functions including Advanced Geo-coding (using a Sample of GeoDirectory) and Advanced SQL and Select queries to search the users maps and data. Displaying registered & unregistered maps and geocoding of tables of Data are explored in depth. Advanced Thematic Mapping and other features including Buffering to analyse data, and assignment of map objects to groups or districts are also covered. Updating tables using expressions & functions, accessing remote databases through Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) and assignment of coordinates to stored objects in a remote database are covered in detail. This course leaves the student with a solid understanding of MapInfo® Professional®.


MapInfo® Professional® - Upgrade Course

Duration: One day

This is an in-depth one-day course, which explores the new features of the latest MapInfo version upgrade. The course demonstrates how these new features will improve your ability to input data to MapInfo, to access data from other sources, to analyse your data and also to present your data. Typical topics covered are Internet functionality, Universal Translator, Live ODBC access to Data sources and updated Crystal reports.

MapBasic Programming

Duration: Two days

This is a two-day entry level course for staff who wish to learn how to use the MapBasic programming language to customise MapInfo to specific end-user functionality requirements, and develop customised applications to run within the MapInfo environment. It is a hands on course with pratical exercises allowing the student gain experience with the language. The student will be able to create applications to automate & add to functionality within MapInfo. Also covered are complex operations utilising 'branching' & 'looping' not otherwise available in MapInfo. Students will be able to write code to create edit & delete both MapInfo tables & graphical objects and code to preform spatial analysis routines.



Introduction to GIS

Duration: One - two days

This general training usually takes the format of a seminar or workshop, introducing and discussing general GIS concepts. These seminars can be presented as generic GIS concepts or directed towards specific software and applications. Typical topics covered include :

  • GIS Design
  • Data Validation
  • Data Standards and Best Practices
  • Comparative GIS Software
  • Spatial Analysis

The course content and duration is usually a function of the number of participants and their level of awareness of GIS.
