The GIS Training Course is a three weeks course offered in March every year. The overall goal of the Course is to enable the participants to acquire a sound theoretical, but more so practical basis in the use of the most common GIS operations. Particular attention is given to unequivocal definition of quality standards and to the broadening of each participant's palette of concrete implementation possibilities. The course is facilitated by a GIS expert from the Centre for Development and Environment, University of Berne, Switzerland (Dr. Albrecht Ehrensperger) and our local GIS Team.
