QGIS QField

Want to collect and manage geodata with QField? In this one-on-one course, you’ll learn how to capture, edit, and synchronize GIS data in the field using QGIS. Discover how to use offline maps, accurately enter field data, and perform real-time analyses for a more efficient workflow. With personalized guidance, online modules, and practical assignments, you’ll immediately apply QField to your GIS projects and spatial analyses.

Introduction to QField 

QField is a powerful mobile GIS application that lets you easily collect, edit, and analyze geodata—right in the field. Instead of processing data later, QField allows you to verify and adjust information on the spot. This saves time, minimizes errors, and ensures more accurate results.

With QField, you can easily take your QGIS projects with you, without losing any functionality or precision. Even without an internet connection, you can view maps, enter data, and sync it later. This makes QField ideal for fieldwork, inspections, and spatial analyses. Seamless integration with QGIS ensures you can open and edit projects without any issues. Thanks to the ability to work offline, your workflow remains efficient regardless of your location.

By reducing manual data entry and capturing data correctly right away, you avoid duplicate administrative work and work faster and more accurately. Additionally, QField offers an interactive map view that allows you to view and edit geographic data directly in the field.

Want to learn how to get the most out of QField? With our Blended Learning QField course, you’ll learn step by step how to effectively use this tool in your daily work.

What will you learn in this Blended Learning course?

In the Blended Learning QField course, you’ll learn how to make the most of QField for collecting, managing, and analyzing geodata. This course is specifically designed for professionals who work in the field and want to handle geographic information efficiently.

You’ll start with the basics of QField and discover how to open and edit a QGIS project on a mobile device. Next, you’ll get to work collecting field data, entering information correctly, and synchronizing data. You’ll learn how to use offline maps, optimize workflows, and apply interactive map layers to perform analyses on the spot.

Why choose this QGIS QField course?

Blended learning combines self-paced online learning with hands-on, interactive sessions, allowing you to gain both theoretical knowledge and practical experience with QField for collecting and managing geodata. The online modules give you the freedom to study at your own pace and offer interactive lessons on collecting, editing, and synchronizing geospatial data between mobile devices and desktops.

During the hands-on online sessions, you’ll immediately apply the knowledge you’ve gained. You’ll work with real QGIS projects and receive guidance from experts on how to efficiently collect field data, edit geographic information, and synchronize data. By working hands-on with realistic GIS scenarios, you’ll learn how QField accelerates your workflow and makes spatial analyses more accurate.

The combination of flexible online learning and interactive hands-on experience ensures that you not only understand the basics of QField and QGIS but also know how to effectively apply these tools in practice. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to independently collect, analyze, and process field data in QGIS, allowing you to work faster, make fewer errors, and organize your geoinformation processes more efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Courses

After the course, you’ll have another two weeks to ask the instructor questions. Since the instructor is already teaching other courses, it’s best to email your questions to info@geo-ict.nl. Your question will be forwarded to the instructor, and you’ll receive a response within 24 hours.

If you’re a bit further along and encounter practical problems you can’t solve on your own, it’s best to use Online Support. You’ll spend one day online with the instructor and receive personalized one-on-one instruction. All your problems will be resolved, and you’ll have made significant progress.

  • Blended learning, also known as hybrid learning, is an educational method that combines traditional face-to-face classes with online learning materials and interactive sessions. This approach offers students flexibility and control over aspects such as the time, place, and pace of learning, while allowing them to benefit from direct interaction with instructors and fellow students. ​
  • At the Geo-ICT Training Center in the Netherlands, blended learning is implemented by having students study largely independently, supplemented by scheduled interactive sessions with an instructor. During these sessions, students can ask questions and discuss complex topics, which fosters a deeper understanding of the course material. All Blended Learning courses begin with a 2-hour online session. The instructor delivers presentations and assigns various exercises and assignments to the student. The student can then work on these independently. After a few weeks, another one-hour online session follows.

If you run into problems in practice that you can’t solve on your own, you have two options: you can sign up for a beginner or advanced course, or you can sign up for Online Support.

You’ll spend a day online with an instructor and receive personalized one-on-one instruction. All your problems will be resolved, and you’ll have made significant progress.

 

All courses are taught in person. Course hours are from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Coffee, tea, lunch, and a laptop are provided.
