Ujaval Gandhi is an extraordinary, globally recognized teacher who, like all brilliant people, does not need to give himself importance. In this course I had the opportunity to interact with him, the class and his very talented collaborator Vigna receiving answers to all the questions asked. Unlike the self-study tutorials I had the opportunity to receive explanations of the assigned tasks and was shown how each problem can be solved in different ways. In addition to the course material, additional information/explanations and links are given to expand on the topics covered and the recorded lectures are shared so that they can be reviewed to catch missed information during the online course. Qgis is an amazing software, with a fantastic community, deserving of donations, the nightmare of proprietary GIS software.

Great course that helped me learn a lot of new things and further improve my knowledge and skills in GIS and QGIS.

I especially enjoyed the practical workflows and hands-on learning approach throughout the course. Looking forward to applying these skills and building some great GIS projects in the future.

Thanks to Ujaval Gandhi sir for such a valuable learning experience!
