MapInfo Data Creation Training - MI5
The Data Creation course is designed to develop the user's knowledge
of MapInfo Professional to encompass the skills and knowledge required
for the specific task of data capture. The intention is to give
the student the information required to capture geographic data
from a variety of sources efficiently, effectively and accurately.
The course is aimed specifically at users who will be involved in
the capturing, storing and retrieving of data.
Whilst attendance on the MapInfo Foundation course (MI2) is useful
it is by no means required. However a working knowledge of MapInfo
Professional is fundamental (e.g. How to open and close files, dealing
with multiple windows, layer control etc)
Throughout the course we use examples from realistic business cases,
and there is an opportunity at the end of the course for students
to discuss the specifics of their business case with the trainer.
The course covers all aspects of data capture including drawing
objects, completing attribute information and many hints and tricks
on how to draw faster and more accurately all types of map objects.
The course also looks at data cleansing and some of the tools included
in MapInfo to ensure the best possible results from your data.
Like all of CDR's training courses the Data Creation course is
fully "hands on" with each delegate using a dedicated
PC with the latest software versions installed. Comprehensive course
notes are issued to each delegate at the start of the course for
no extra cost.
