 Hello, this is Hans van der Kwaas senior lecturer at IG Delft Institute for Water Education. In this video, I'm going to show you how to find organizations where you can do a QGIS course and receive the official QGIS certificate after successful completion. I'll also show you where you can follow the next course that is organized by these organizations. And of course, this can be visualized in QGIS. Information about the QGIS certification problem can be found under Get Involved Certification. This page shows the information about the certification program. Organizations can apply for certification using a form on this page. The reviewers will check if the course materials are of adequate quality and if the organization has contributed to the QGIS community, which is possible in several ways mentioned here on the page. Following an initial review, the application will be sent to the local QGIS group for their opinion. The recommendations will go to the QGIS project steering committee who will make a final decision. After approval, the organization can issue the certificates. Each certificate will contribute 20 euros to the QGIS project, which is a great way to support the development of QGIS, but also for participants to have a paper to show that they have followed QGIS with an organization that gives the official certificate and for the organizations to advertise that they are certified for QGIS. When you click the here link, you will go to the project test site where the certification program is hosted. You can also find detailed information about the certification process. Now in the menu we choose certification, approved organizations to see the list of organizations that issue the official QGIS certificate for their courses. You can click on the name of an organization to find out more. Here we see IHE Delft Institute for Water Education and the courses that were offered in the past and that will be offered, including the amount of people that have received the certificate. We can view the details of the course. This is the next course that will be organized. But it would also be nice to see this on a map. Here at the top of the page we can find different feats to list all training centers, to list all upcoming courses or to list all past courses. If we click a feed, we get this page and if I then go to get and use the drop down, I can choose different format, I can choose JSON and I can copy the JSON link. In QGIS I can show a world map by typing world in the coordinate field and I can add a vector file in the data source manager, choose vector and I simply paste that JSON link and it will recognize it. Then I click add to add this layer to the map canvas. Now here with the default green dots I see here all the training centers that have the right to issue the QGIS certificate. Let's zoom in to a country and it comes with an attribute table so if I query I find here for this dot that there are two organizations here in Delft. It's Geo Academy Online and IHE Delft Institute for Water Education. I can also use the feed to list all upcoming courses in the same way. I also get here the JSON link, copy the link and then I add it in the same way. Click add and there's the other dot in a different color. I switch off the training centers, there's one dot left and I can identify the point and find them the next course that will be organized. So this is an easy way to see on the map when and where the courses will be organized near to you and then you can check the website of the organization to find more about this course that is organized or contact the course convener through the provided email address.
