3 Cadcorp Training Training is vital to successfully deliver any GIS implementation. At Cadcorp we aim to work with you in developing the knowledge and skills required to set-up, deploy, utilise and ultimately manage a system for your organisation. Cadcorp offers a range of standard courses which can be delivered from a suitable location at your organisation, from our HQ based in Stevenage or another suitable location. In addition we are happy to discuss and advise you on possibilities for customised training or carry out a formal training needs/requirements analysis to build agendas just for you. All standard courses are accredited by the Association for Geographic Information (AGI) and can contribute to the Chartered Geographer status. Continual Professional Development (CPD) points are awarded; see course pages for allocation. All students will receive a comprehensive training manual containing real-life examples and exercises. Training data to complement this can be supplied, or indeed you may supply your own data. Our courses use training data from Ordnance Survey Great Britain, Ordnance Survey Northern Ireland, Ordnance Survey Ireland, or appropriate datasets from around the world. On completion of a full course a certificate of attendance is awarded. Our Approach Courses are designed to be hands-on, which are instructor-led and a modular approach is adopted to provide a topic-based training manual and to allow flexibility in the agenda. Student numbers restricted to 6 (except where stated) to enhance the training experience and encourage a fun interactive session. are encouraged to utilise the Cadcorp Portal as a post-course resource for asking questions and sharing information with the Cadcorp community.
