What a great course. The Introduction to QGIS is comprehensive, well-paced, interactive, and Ujaval and Vigna are excellent at delivering its content. So many additional resources are provided as well that pique your curiosity and make you want to continue the QGIS learning journey. I’ve already signed up for another course!

The amount of material covered in the End-to-End Google Earth Engine course and resources available makes this course worth easily 10x the actual cost. Ujaval teaches with practiced efficiency and his expertise in the subject is matched only by his commitment to making these powerful tools accessible and understandable to everyone. I’m extremely grateful to have taken this course and for all the code representing hard work Ujaval makes freely available to the rest of us.

Ujaval is one of the best instructors/teachers I have ever had the pleasure to meet and be a student of. In addition to the vast knowledge he has in what he proposes to teach his excellent didactics and the way he explains complex things in a simple way is unique. The PyQGIS Masterclass course more specifically is excellent, I do not have a background as a programmer, just basic knowledge of Python and I was able to learn a lot and understand several things that I could not learn from several other online courses that I had already taken. I recommend his courses to people of all levels of knowledge, as I believe that everyone will benefit from taking his courses.

Spatial Thoughts’ training packages will demonstrate to you the strengths of QGIS and will make you fall in love with QGIS. I took the Advanced QGIS course and really learnt wonderful things that will make my work easier and faster. Ujaval himself is a world of GIS and He has been gifted with superb teaching skills. Thumbs up Spatial Thoughts!

The Python Foundation for Spatial Analysis course brought me an interest to deep dive myself in spatial analysis. The content of the course is crisp and Ujaval is a great tutor and his explanations are to the point. Never outside of the topics & on-time. This course is for who want to advance their knowledge in GEO data analysis and worth attending and better than any EdTech courses available online.

Although I am working with GDAL already, the Mastering GDAL Tools course is helping me reach the next level in my GDAL skills as I have learnt many other things in GDAL during this course. Ujaval is such an excellent teacher and the many examples he gives during the course makes the class interactions very lively and interesting.
