The course provides training in geographical information systems (GIS) and in particular their application to a variety of environmental settings. It is ideally suited to GIS analysts, decision-makers and managers since it will provide hands-on experience of how to use a variety of GIS systems (ArcViewTM, ARCGISTM, MapInfoTM) in a real-world setting.
