burdGIS is a UK-based organization focused on GIS (Geographic Information Systems) training and consulting. Its website says it regularly runs GIS courses in London and has provided training across the UK and beyond. Since 2011, the organization has helped thousands of students, while also taking on GIS-related consulting projects covering practical scenarios from field data collection to Android app development.
The current page clearly lists two online courses: an introductory ArcGIS Online course for teachers and students, and an “Introduction to GIS and QGIS” course. Both are marked as Beginner level. The page also mentions “upcoming instructor-led GIS courses,” but currently says more courses will be released later, meaning no schedule for instructor-led classes appears to be available yet. The main text does not clearly state whether the courses are live, recorded, or one-on-one.
Pricing is fairly transparent but the available information is limited: the ArcGIS Online course costs £9.98, while the Introduction to GIS and QGIS course costs £13.99. These are low-cost entry-level courses. The website does not state course duration, access period, refund policy, or whether burdGIS’s own courses provide a certificate of completion. An AWS Certified Architect course appears on the page, but it is marked as a third-party course recommendation rather than part of burdGIS’s own certification system.
Founder Oliver Burdekin has a background in environmental science, a master’s degree in environment and business, and a postgraduate diploma in GIS. He has also taken part in tropical conservation expeditions since 2006. This background suggests the courses lean toward practical GIS use in environmental, conservation, and mapping contexts, rather than only teaching software operations. The organization also emphasizes sharing knowledge through training and collaboration, giving it a professional positioning, though information about its scale is limited.
The main advantages are its focused subject area, low entry-level pricing, and founder/project background that is closely related to practical GIS work. It is a reasonable fit for beginners, teachers, students, and environmental or conservation professionals who want to learn about QGIS or ArcGIS Online. The drawbacks are that course details are not sufficiently disclosed: the syllabus, learning support, certificates, assignment feedback, and instructor interaction mechanisms are all unclear. Instructor-led courses also currently have no available registration schedule.
The website does not provide information about network access, payment methods, or localized support for users in China, so China access should be considered unknown. If you need Chinese-language support, invoices, or domestic payment options, domestic GIS/remote sensing training providers may be worth considering. If you prefer international platforms and certificate systems, you can compare Esri Academy, Coursera, Udemy, or official QGIS learning resources.
