What you will learn

Cartographic techniques using QGIS software

How to Layout a Map for Presentations

Proper GIS Labeling

Symbolization Techniques

Why take this course?

In this video series, you will learn useful tools and techniques that will allow you to expertly craft extraordinarily beautiful maps in the wonderful free and open source software QGIS. Topic skill levels range from the basic through to the complex and include symbology, using OpenStreetMap data, shapebursts, coastal waterlining, glow effects, overview maps, using layout templates to save you time, basemaps, rule based symbology,  labeling, and much more. With this course, you have everything you need to become a cartographic master!

The course is taught by a 30 year GIS veteran and University Instructor, who not only teaches GIS concepts, but regularly uses QGIS to complete projects of all shapes and sizes. If you want to level-up your QGIS game, you are in the right place.

Wallowing through YouTube in search of QGIS knowledge can be exhausting. With this class, you not only get the video demonstrations, but you get the same data that the Instructor is using, allowing you to follow along. You have the option of simply watching the demo, or actively participating. Best of all, your purchase will be here, ready when you have a cartographic challenge to conquer and you need a quick refresher.

The best part of the course may just be the Resources section, which holds a treasure trove of files that will jumpstart you into greatness. Style files, layout template files, basemaps, data sources are all yours with this class. Just this section alone is worth the price of admission. If you want to become a carto-rockstar, let's go!!

I learnt a lot about some of the tools available in QGIS. I've got a few ideas now for some maps I'd like to make so I'll be rewatching the videos a few times and using them to guide me with my mapmaking. I really enjoyed this course.

Zeer gedegen cursus. De docent legt de leerstof helder uit. Het is erg leuk om inverted polygons en shapeburst fills in eigen kaarten te gebruiken. Erg handig: een script van Klas Karlsson waarmee tig achtergrondkaarten in QGIS beschikbaar komen.

Learning alot about different access to data - some I knew about and didn't really appreciate and others completely new. Excellent. I like the cartographic focus

I enjoyed the relaxed style of presentation. I like that the sessions were broken up into bite-sized chunks, and I can go back and review without trolling through a heap of videos.

I wish there were a bit more explanation up front on how to get the files used for the class, but I finally figured it out. Everything is not the same (no Land Borders), but I'm making do.

Too much overlap with the intro to QGIS course, would like more detail about classification. Still many useful tips, tho.

Very good so far, just getting in to some beginning stuff I had muddled out on my own, but I've already learned a few small things.

marginal. instructor is good; however, when teaching a class like this it's best to start with a project or solve a problem. A cartography class can be improved by examples. I recommend three different Cartography classes: hiking/camping, metropolitan/tourist sites, water feature/fishing/canoeing...
