GIS Training
We are here to support your learning journey, whether you are brand-new to ArcGIS or a seasoned GIS professional wanting to master the latest technology.
Geospatial Accelerated Learning Programme
The Geospatial Accelerated Learning Programme (GALoP) is a condensed six week programme designed to close the skills gap; developed to quickly bring emerging spatial professionals up to speed with the use and application of the latest geospatial technology. It aims to grow and develop the participant's skills to a level where they can make a significant contribution to their organisation.
"My intention going into GALoP was to refresh (older knowledge) of the Esri suite and learn what has changed! Wow what an amazing time I’ve had and I have learnt so much... I feel that I have achieved exactly what I intended to."
