Bespoke Training

GeoData can also run all training courses at your offices and tailor GIS training to your and your organisation’s needs using your own data. Please contact us at training@geodata.soton.ac.uk or call 023 8059 2719 to discuss your bespoke training requirements.

Recently we have provided tailor made GIS courses in the following sectors: oil and gas exploration, land remediation, conservation, marine and coastal management, river geomorphology, public rights of way and transportation. We also provide ongoing support following training, to either handle more complex tasks or to help you develop your own expertise, application developments and GIS procedures.

 

Support

Ongoing support is often as important as the initial training in ensuring the successful outcomes of formal courses. We are committed to making sure that the lessons learnt from our courses are consolidated and developed.

GeoData offers a flexible ongoing GIS support arrangement whereby you can call or email with specific questions. However, unlike most GIS support contracts, you are not limited to specific software packages but can also ask about other packages, data, procedures, policy, procurement etc.

In addition, we can also visit you to help you to solve your particular problem or if necessary, we can second a GIS professional to you for a longer period to address your requirements.
