Testimonials
Since launching in 2023, we are thrilled that our online training courses have helped hundreds of learners worldwide.

The course is excellent and just what I needed to gain an understanding of GIS, how the data is structured and how to produce plans. It was also great to learn doing something relevant to my work and not trying to use abstract or irrelevant examples. Thank you for making the world of GIS less daunting and accessible!

Despite the ‘Basic-level’ course designation, individuals with any level of GIS ability could benefit in one way or another from these lessons. Production quality is superb, with high-quality narration. This is the best value-for-money course relevant to mineral exploration that you will find on the internet.

My first impressions were excellent. The website is fantastic – it’s so easy to navigate, the course player features are great, and because there’s so much useful content, being able to refer back to it in the future will be so valuable. I now feel like a familiar user of QGIS and confident in using GIS data.

GIS is integral to the geosciences and this course goes above and beyond. Not only does it give you the framework, but it leaves you feeling confident that you can set up your own database and produce both maps and figures to a professional work standard. I would encourage all geologists to undertake this!

G4G provides the perfect course for beginners. You can complete the course at your own pace, the majority of videos are short enough that you can watch them in a spare 5 minutes, and everything is extremely well explained. I would fully recommend this course to any geologists who are interested in GIS.

As a GIS novice, this course was extremely informative and made me understand how coordinates are calculated and, more importantly, how to create professional maps for presentations and reports. The Atlas function (creating multiple maps) is also a time-saver that I'm sure to use frequently.

This course truly pinpoints the fundamental GIS skills required by geologists, whether at university or in the industry, anywhere in the world. I could not believe how accessible and fully flexible the training was meaning that, even with a busy full time job, I could still top up my GIS skills at a pace that suited me.

For someone with limited previous knowledge in GIS, this course has given me the confidence to generate and review GIS outputs for use across all end markets that I work in. The lessons are both intuitive and well-structured meaning it’s easy to drop in and out to fit my own self-learning around a busy daily work life.

This is the best GIS course out there. The instruction is absolutely first class and the content highly practical and informative. Huw is a superb instructor who guides you through the course at an appropriate pace without bombarding you with jargon. In my opinion, this is one of the best investments I’ve made.
