Course Duration: 1 Day

Course Overview

We offer MapInfo training on a private course basis only. This course is not available as a public scheduled event.

The one-day SQL course is designed for users with a good knowledge of MapInfo, but who have difficulty getting to grips with query building and the management and use of queries.

It’s for those using any version of MapInfo Pro and is run as a hands-on session. Training notes are provided for back-up and revision purposes.
