We develop our training as individual modules, so you can sign up to acquire the exact skills you need, when you need them! Distinct from other GIS courses, we approach the topic from the perspective of your specific use case. We understand that for you, GIS is merely a tool to achieve broader tasks, not a goal in itself.

Open Classes

Our open classes are small (max 8-12 people) and are taught using a highly interactive approach – you won’t be bored! Each student has their own networked computer (Windows or Linux) for exercises – or alternatively, you bring your own laptop.

Course days run 9am-5pm, and include morning and afternoon tea breaks and lunch.

Naturally you receive the course materials on the day, as well as a USB stick with the latest version of the renowned Quantum GIS software and other useful tools and resources, for you to keep.

Currently Available Training Modules

• Introductory GIS skills for Cultural Heritage & Humanities Data
• Fundamentals of Integrating a Database into GIS

Pricing for Academic Use & Indigenous Corporations

ArcheFact offers special rates and arrangements for academic use, and of members of indigenous corporations: applicants may attend any open class for AUD 100 per day.

This offer applies at any time, as long as the day is not already completely booked out, and with a practical limitation on the number of such discounted seats per day. When booking, please provide proof of your student eligibility or a letter from your indigenous corporation.

Custom & In-House Training

In addition to our public training, ArcheFact also delivers in-house training courses. This is the most economical option when considering a larger number of course participants from a single organisation, and it is also very suitable if an organisation has specific needs in terms of content, scheduling or location, or wishes to discuss additional confidential aspects of its operating environment or dataset. We can operate under an NDA, if desired.

In a nutshell, with an ArcheFact in-house course, we come to you for one or more days, and cover any topic you want. Since our trainers are experts in the field, it can even be left up to the participants on the day to decide which topics can be skimmed over rapidly, and which merit an extra deep dive — all to be perfectly in line with your particular requirements.

In-house training by ArcheFact is simply charged at AUD 2500 per day, plus travel and accommodation expenses if applicable. The latter can be quoted at a fixed price when a training engagement is agreed on, so that your organisation will know beforehand what the costs will be.
