Combining QGIS's mapping strength with R's statistical power unlocks analysis neither tool handles as well alone; this advanced course builds that integrated workflow. Participants script reproducible spatial analyses that move seamlessly between both platforms.
This advanced course integrates QGIS and R to give participants both strong cartographic output and rigorous statistical analysis in a single, reproducible workflow. Participants work with the sf package for spatial data handling in R, spdep for spatial statistics including Moran's I and spatial regression, and ggplot2 for publication-quality spatial visualisation.
The course also covers using the QGIS-R integration plugin to call R scripts directly from QGIS, building reproducible analysis scripts using R Markdown, and combining both platforms' strengths on a full applied spatial analysis project.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
Day 5
Day 6
Day 7
Day 8
Day 9
Day 10
This course is ideal for analysts seeking rigorous, reproducible spatial analysis capability.
Participants who complete this course receive a Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy. The course fee includes training materials, software lab access, a QGIS-R script library, facilitation by an experienced spatial data scientist, and a certificate presented at the close of the programme.
