MapInfo™ Professional Private Training
Salford GIS Limited offers a flexible range of MapInfo training courses to suit all levels of user. Courses can be held either at customer premises or at Technology House, Salford where we have a fully equipped, air-conditioned training room.
We have developed a number of training modules, which can be used to create a course tailored to suit the individual needs and skill levels of our customers.
Course duration is typically between one and three days, and can cover any of the modules outlined opposite (allow between 3 and 5 modules per day). By way of examples a one-day MapInfo Basics course for complete beginners might comprise modules 1 to 4. A two-day course may include modules 1 to 9 taking the user up to Intermediate level. Advanced users may wish to choose a selection from modules 10 to 20 depending on their specific requirements.
In response to customer demand, we've taken the most popular training modules to create an "Introduction to MapInfo™" course, which will run at Salford on roughly a monthly basis. Please click here for further details and to see the latest course schedule.
