This is an update to our previous announcement on the science skills workshops for later this month and early December. 

We will be running a second QGIS course, which will be a 5-day introduction to mapping with QGIS plus an introduction to GIS analysis, from the 9-13 December. The course will cost $375 (with food + accommodation at Mkuru training camp $20-40 per day).

If you are interested in any of these courses, see the announcement below including the link to the online registration page. If you have already registered and would like to take this new QGIS option, email workshops at tzcrc.org to change your registration!

There are more scholarship positions available - write to workshops at tzcrc.org if you have questions or would like to apply!

The Conservation Resource Centre will be putting on a series of science skills workshops before and after the TAWIRI Scientific Conference inlate November & early December 2013. CRC courses are designed to give you immediately-useful skills that you can walk away feeling confident with!

Courses include:

	* Introduction to mapping with QGIS: a free and open-source application, QGIS is an excellent way to produce maps and analyse data. Three day course, 28-30 Nov.
	* Introduction to mapping and analysis with QGIS: five days, 9-13 December
	* Distance Sampling: a survey method increasingly widely used in wildlife studies, 25-30 Nov:
	* Introduction (3 days, suitable for field researchers who wish to collect data);
	* Analysis & survey design (3 days, suitable for those who wish to analyse and design surveys).
	* Introduction to statistics with R: another free, open-source application, R is the statistics package which has become the choice of many (if not most) academics and researchers. 5 day course, 9-13 December.

	* Spatial analysis with R: for those with R skills, this 2-day course introduces students to analytical methods in R for mapping and spatial analysis.
Courses cost $75 per day but some limited scholarship positions are available. The CRC is supported mainly by its members and the local community, and in part by the Reid Park Zoo (Tucson, AZ).
