1.  GIS Fundamentals 19- 23 June 2023 Training:

This intensive course provides the foundation for Understanding and appreciating GIS, What it can do, and How others are using it.
Participants shall learn the basic functions of a GIS, GIS Terminology, Data analysis, retrieval and visualization, Create maps, query a GIS database, and perform spatial analysis.
By the end of the training, participants can use their data to create maps, perform analysis, and share information with their audience (colleagues, donors, government, non-GIS users, etc)
Fundamentals of GIS using ArcGIS is available upon request.

2. Advanced GIS 26-30 June 2023 Training:
This course is intended for users already familiar with the basics of QGIS and who want to
improve their skills.  The course will focus on Advanced Analysis regarding the management
and manipulation of raster data, and spatial analysis, using PostGIS and relational databases. The course
is structured in units with different levels of difficulty to help the student learn to handle the advanced QGIS tools. 

Advanced GIS using ArcGIS is available upon request.

3. Web GIS using ArcGIS On Request 3- 7 July 2023 Training:
Web mapping is the process of using maps delivered by geographical information systems (GIS) on the Internet through a client-server architecture.
Web mapping usually involves a web browser to consume services.
These services include serving interactive maps, GIS data and location-based services.
Participants will learn how to prepare and share geographic information so that it can effectively be used by colleagues, decision-makers, and non-GIS audiences.
The course will focus on:
-       Web Mapping Technology,
-       Web Mapping architecture, application and tools.
The goal of this training course is to introduce users to the concept of web mapping.
Software/Applications to be used
- Text editor / Notepad++
- Qgis v 2.8+
- Postgres
- Tomcat
- Geoserver
- ArcGIS (Desktop& Server where applicable)

4. Mobile GIS & Mapping 10- 14 July2023 Training:

This course aims at providing a complete field to office mobile mapping workflow to the participants. Participants shall use their mobile devices (Mobile Phones, Tablets and GPS) to collect data, load the data into GIS and create maps from the data collected. The course will enable the participants to also edit existing databases in the field and create new data using field data collection techniques (Kobo and ODK).
(See attached course outline.)

5. Statistical and Spatial Data Analysis and Visualization using R 17- 21 July 2023 Training:

Course Objectives:

The course will:

·         Introduce participants to R as a quantitative data analysis tool

·         Enable learner master R software and R-studio as a user interface

·         Enable learners to import data from various sources

·         Introduce basic statistics for exploratory data analysis including methods for describing and summarizing variable distributions

·         Provide essential skills for data manipulation including selecting subsets and recoding

·         Introduce the visual representation of variables in scatter graphs, bar charts, and histograms

·         Introduce users to the use of R for spatial data analysis and map making

6. Qualitative Data Management & Analysis using NVivo (Big Data Analytics)  24-28 July 2023

This course aims to provide participants with the strategic understanding and applied skills in planning, conducting, and analyzing, reporting findings from qualitative research. At the end of the course, participants will be able to plan, conduct, and critically assess the quality of the qualitative data gathered during their data collection process. Participants will also learn how to use NVivo 12 in Qualitative Data Analysis.

Course Objectives:

·         By the end of this program, participants should be able to:
Understand the fundamentals of qualitative research

·         Understand qualitative data collection and analysis methods

·         Set up a project in NVivo and explore the function of NVivo

·         Create, import and work with codes and nodes in NVivo

·         Undertake deductive and inductive qualitative data coding using NVivo

·         Manage all project materials conveniently in one project file.

·         Deliver quality outputs backed by a transparent discovery and analysis process

·         Justify decision making with sound findings and evidence-based recommendations

·         Revisit data easily, build up the big picture perspective

·         Write a qualitative research report

7. Data Management and Analysis using SPSS 31 July- 4 August 2023 Training:

Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) is a comprehensive and user friendly statistical software for researchers providing visualization and data analytical tools. Participants shall explore the statistical capabilities of SPSS ranging from simple percentages to complex analyses of variance, multiple regressions, and general linear models as well as to generate tabulated reports, charts and plots of distributions and trends. Participants will review several statistical techniques, gain an understanding of when and why to use these various techniques as well as how to apply them with confidence, interpret their output, and graphically display the results.

Course Lead Facilitators:
Our pool of highly qualified personnel will be led by Dr. Sam  Nthuni and Mr. Felix Ochieng.
