Master the key tools in MapInfo with this 2-day introductory training class.
You will leave this course a confident, independent MapInfo user with a thorough understanding of the essentials skills and techniques needed to carry out spatially-based analysis.
This is a hands-on course. It includes lots of time to experiment with what you are being taught, try things out for yourself and ask questions.
It includes everything that you need to get started with MapInfo.
✔ A complete beginner’s course that covers all of the basics.
✔ Plenty of one to one attention and time to ask questions.
✔ Friendly, expert trainers, small groups and a comfortable place to learn.
✔ All the materials and extras that you’ll ever need.
✔ Ongoing support and help with issues you have after the course.
You will leave this course confident to analyse and manipulate data independently in MapInfo.
You’ll learn how to:
This is a beginners’ course and so you don’t need any prior experience with MapInfo to attend.
So long as you are comfortable working with a computer, using multiple screens and saving you work on a network folder you’ll be fine.
Our courses run from 9.30am to roughly 4.15pm with refreshments throughout the day and a break for a tasty, freshly prepared lunch.
We offer a relaxed, supportive learning environment, fully air-conditioned training facilities and some of the nicest instructors on the planet.
Also, you’ll receive:
✔ A full-colour A4 manual covering everything in the course so that you can recap.
✔ A USB stick for the course exercises to let you practice more in your own time.
✔ A Certificate of Attendance.
The introductory section of this course aims to get your comfortable with the basics and hands one with data as quickly as possible. We show you the basics of how to navigate and user MapInfo. We also look at how to view data on a map and working with a subset of your data.
The key topics trained include:
MapInfo presents data from different tables in different layers. Layers are one of the most frequently used functions in MapInfo as they allow you to combine different sets of data. This often allows new spatial relationships between data to be discovered.
The key concepts trained include:
MapInfo allows you to select a subset of your data after it has been visualised on a map. This section shows you how to do this and how to then analyse the selection that you have made.
The key topics trained include:
The data that you will want to work with in MapInfo is often held in other software programs. This section covers the various methods for importing data that is held in other software programs. It also looks at units and discusses longitude and latitude as well as British Grid co-ordinates.
The key concepts covered include:
MapInfo offers users the ability to query their data using a SELECT command. Being a confident user of this tool allows you to easily review subsets of your data very easily and so is a key skill.
The key concept trained is:
In order to visualise your data on a map, it will need to be geocoded. Geocoding is the process of attaching spatial data to your existing data so that it can be easily grouped and manipulated according to the area that it relates to. This section of the course looks at using postcodes to allow you to do this and also methods for geocoding your data.
