What you can expect from the course

A step by step introduction to the creation and maintenance of street data according to best practice guidelines and data entry rules. In particular, the course will cover

  •     the benefits of good street data for your organisation
  •     an introduction to geometry and streets creation
  •     an overview of additional streets data
  •     other topics such as health checks; how to submit data and other topics
  •     throughout there will be reference to best practice case studies

The course will be delivered by one of our expert team who collectively have over 50 years' experience in creating and maintaining address and street data.

The courses are delivered directly by GeoPlace members of staff, we don't outsource our training. This means you will be trained by experts who have been involved in writing the specifications for the data as well as bringing years of practical experience of data management.


What you will get out of it

100% of delegates say they would recommend this course to a colleague.

The course is designed to explain simply and concisely the complexities around creating and maintaining your data. Understanding how your data is used not just within your authority but by organisations nationally.

The course is intense and we guarantee you will be tired, but fired-up by the end of the day!

You really will get as much out of the day as you put in. We suggest you think a little before you attend what you want to discuss or find out more about.

You will come away with a sound basic understanding of how to represent real world objects in the appropriate data format. You will have a good awareness of the best practice associated with the creation and use of the data and a sound understanding of how to submit your data to the hub.
