Learning and Training Resources for GIS - contributions welcome!

Hi everyone,

We decided to initiate a thread for sharing and collating GIS training resources. This follows from a thread in the Remote Sensing group. Please feel free to contribute any learning resources that you've found useful for learning GIS, be they basic or advanced.

https://www.wildlabs.net/community/thread/385




I wrote an article on Conservation Careers earlier this year on 13 Short Online Course Ideas to Boost Your GIS Career. I'm thinking of adding to this article with some additional courses that have come up recently, or creating a 'sequel' article. If people wanted to contribute then I'd be happy to cite individuals or the WILDLABS Community.

Thanks for starting this thread, @Thomas+Starnes !

I posted the following twitter conversation in the original Remote Sensing resources thread, yet I think it's possibly more applicable to this thread so am resharing it to make sure it's easily accessible for anyone else looking for GIS specific info in the future. 

Does anyone know of good, free resources for learning to use GIS software? (preferably QGIS) #movementecology

My former uni had a subscription to the QGIS Lynda course which was immensely helpful... may be worth checking https://t.co/sDywDX8Y5b
