Field teams increasingly collect spatial data on mobile devices rather than paper, and this course builds the skills to design, deploy, and integrate those workflows properly. Participants build and pilot a real mobile data collection form during the course.
Mobile data collection tools have replaced paper forms across most field-based sectors, but poorly designed forms and workflows still produce messy, unusable data. This course builds practical skills across the leading platforms - KoboToolbox, ODK Collect, and ArcGIS Survey123 - covering form design with skip logic and validation rules, offline data collection and synchronisation, and GPS and photo capture best practices for field teams.
Participants also learn to integrate collected data directly into GIS platforms for analysis, manage field team data quality through real-time monitoring dashboards, and troubleshoot the common connectivity and device issues that derail field data collection.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

The course fee includes training materials, mobile app licences for the training period, field data collection templates, facilitation by an experienced mobile GIS specialist, and a certificate presented at the close of the programme.
