Training and Capacity Building

Spatial Nexus is a geospatial consultancy. We also help organisations build their own GIS and remote sensing capability through tailored training delivered by our consultants.

Courses cover GIS, remote sensing, Google Earth Engine and Python, shaped around your team's software, data and level of experience.

Our approach

Consultancy-led training

Our training grows out of project work. The specialists who deliver mapping, analysis and Earth observation projects for clients design and lead each programme, so the methods taught are the ones used in practice.

Programmes are built for a specific team and purpose, such as preparing staff to maintain a GIS database we delivered, or enabling analysts to run satellite monitoring in Google Earth Engine.

04

Follow-up support

Optional technical support while your team applies the new workflows to live projects.

Delivery options

Flexible formats

At your office

On-site sessions for your team, using your own workstations and data.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Spatial Nexus a training institute?

No. Spatial Nexus is a geospatial consultancy. We provide training as a service to organisations and professionals who want to build in-house GIS and remote sensing skills, delivered by the same specialists who carry out our project work.

Can training use our own data?

Yes, and we recommend it. Exercises built around your datasets and questions make the skills directly usable after the programme.

Which software do you train on?

ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Google Earth Engine, Python and common web mapping tools. We match the software your team already uses or plans to adopt.

How long is a programme?

It depends on the scope. Focused workshops can run over a few days; broader capacity-building programmes are planned in phases. We agree the schedule after the needs assessment.

Do you offer support after training?

Yes. Follow-up technical support can be arranged so your team has help while applying new workflows to live projects.
