Pre-requisites

You can find out more about the PCT here

Venue

Venue: Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), starting at 10.00 and finishing at 16.00. There will be a 1 hour break between 13.00 to 14.00 for delegates to eat lunch locally.

Computers

There is capacity for 18 trainees but only 9 PCs, so we will need some attendees to bring laptops (or share PCs). Please let us know if you can bring a laptop.

You will need to install QGIS on these - instructions will be provided on registration. The software is free but if you need permission to install software on your laptop you will need to secure same from your IT department in advance.
