Course objectives

The 2 day course provides a practical grounding in the basic ideas and skills to use the standard GeoConcept product. Following the course, delegates will be able to manipulate and analyse data in GeoConcept maps and explore other areas of the product on their own or through further training. Delegates are not expected to have any prior knowledge of GeoConcept or GIS systems in general.

  • Fundamental principles of GeoConcept
  • The database structure
  • Navigating the map
  • Object creation, styles, selection and visibility
  • Controlling the map appearance
  • Viewing attribute information
  • Queries and formulas
  • Data import and export

  • Grouping and redistricting

Who should attend?

The course is relevant for anyone who will use GeoConcept. It is also useful to provide an appreciation of the system's capability to managers whose staff will use GeoConcept. The number of delegates on each course is limited to 8, usually working in pairs, to ensure that each student has sufficient access to the course tutors for help and advice.

Course content

The course is organised on a modular structure as a series of presentations interspersed with hands-on exercises which grow in complexity as the training progresses. Sessions are informal and questions and comments are encouraged. See Topics covered opposite.

Please contact MapMechanics for availability, for training dates later in the year and for dates of other courses which are designed to meet the needs of users and developers working either with the basic GeoConcept system, Internet server or with the development kits.

We will also be pleased to arrange in-house training at a location of your choice.
