MapInfo Pro Training Courses

These courses cover the main functionality of the MapInfo Professional software. The courses assume no prior knowledge of GIS and are therefore ideal for newcomers to desktop mapping. 

MapInfo Pro is currently available in  both a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version.  Our  training courses provide tuition based on both the original MapInfo interface, which is related to 32 bit systems available up to V15, as well as a new course based on the ribbon based 64 bit version available from V12.
