I have always wanted to start learning GIS and QGIS is an indeed a right place to begin. I would anyday vouch for the course conducted by Ujaval and very well supported by Vigna. The course is well structured, with adequate resources for professionals from different background, and quick response to queries. The course has made me to explore QGIS further. Looking forward for next course. Thank you.
