MapInfo Training Overview

 

Overview

Training is our lifeblood. It’s why Mapchester exists: so that you and your people can get the most out of MapInfo Pro and make it work for you.


If you don’t know what MapInfo Pro is, take a look at our software pages.


We’ll guide your team members through what they need to know about the software, comprehensively and efficiently.


Mapchester’s trainer, Nick Hall, has 20 years’ experience in delivering MapInfo Pro training and has a technical certification in MapInfo Pro from Precisely.  He’s taken private and public sector organisations by the hand and tailored tuition courses to their specific needs. He can come to you or you can come to him.


We offer the following courses:
