When it's better than a course<\/h3>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/smartlands-gis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/voce-lente.svg\")
<\/p>\nYou have a specific issue and a deadline<\/strong> \u2014 you don't need a 4-hour program: you need that thing working today.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/smartlands-gis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/voce-dati.svg\")
<\/p>\nYou work with data you can't show in a classroom<\/strong> \u2014 the session is private: your files stay between you and your consultant.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/smartlands-gis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/voce-qualita.svg\")
<\/p>\nYou've already taken a course but are missing the final piece<\/strong> \u2014 a targeted review of the unclear part, rather than repeating everything.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/smartlands-gis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/voce-automazione.svg\")
<\/p>\nYou need to set up a recurring monthly procedure<\/strong> \u2014 we'll build it together on your data, and it'll stay functional in your system.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/smartlands-gis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/voce-penna.svg\")
<\/p>\nYou want a review of existing work<\/strong> \u2014 we'll open your project, check its setup, and fix any issues.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWho it's for<\/h3>\n
Municipal technicians needing to close a case without time for a full course. Freelancers \u2014 surveyors, architects, engineers, geologists \u2014 who use QGIS intermittently and restart from scratch each time. Firms wanting to refine an internal workflow with someone who's done it before.<\/p>\n
How it works<\/h3>\n\n- Duration:<\/strong> 1, 2, or 5 hours, your choice<\/li>\n
- Where:<\/strong> online via Google Meet, with screen sharing<\/li>\n
- On what:<\/strong> your your<\/strong> data and your project; if you prefer to start with an example, we'll provide the data<\/li>\n
- Software:<\/strong> QGIS, free and open-source<\/li>\n
- Recording:<\/strong> available for 30 days, so you can review the steps<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
How to book<\/h3>\n
Choose a package and complete the order. We'll contact you to schedule the session and request details in advance. what do you want to work on<\/strong>: this way the session starts already prepared and the first twenty minutes aren't spent framing the problem.<\/p>\nDo you have a question before purchasing, or don't know how many hours you need? Tell us what you need to do<\/a> and we'll suggest the right package \u2014 even if the answer is that a course would be more suitable.<\/p>\nIs a session or a course better?<\/h3>\n
If you're starting from scratch and have never opened a GIS, the Basic QGIS Course<\/a> costs less and yields more: 4 structured hours at \u20ac110. If you already use QGIS and are stuck on one specific issue, a targeted hour is worth an entire course. For databases, analysis, and automation there's the Advanced Course<\/a>, for publishing maps online the WebGIS Course<\/a>.<\/p>\nWho guides you<\/h3>\n
Three people, three distinct roles: the instructor, the perspective of someone working in public administration, and the person who helps you if the software doesn't work.<\/p>\n
