Consultancy & Bespoke Training
I can work with you to add geospatial analysis to your project and to develop your geospatial analysis toolset.
I have worked with academics, universities, private sector and public sector organisations, developing bespoke training soultions, one-to-one tuition or project support to enable my clients to get the best from their geospatial data. Please contact me to have a chat about your project.
“Nick is a great teacher, and I would recommend his excellent service.”

“I am a life-long learner, in my sixties completing a MPhil in archaeology at Newcastle University: this means that when GPS was declassified in the early 2000’s, I was only just staring to use computers. The landscape archaeology which I am researching requires a repertoire of map-making skills.
I recently completed a 1-to-1 online QGIS mapping course with Nick Bearman. I was guided through the learning process which resulted in the production of three excellent bespoke maps for my thesis. The sessions were recorded which means I can review and replicate what we covered.”

“Working with Nick has been really great. His classes and consultancy have been extremely professional and instrumental in rapidly upscaling our abilities in both geo-spatial analysis and in the R programming language. We are far more effective now than we were before our engagement with him. Thanks Nick!”

“Our team organised a bespoke GIS training course with Nick, and it was incredibly helpful. Nick asked us about our experience and what we hoped to use GIS for and designed a bespoke training course to suit our needs. During the training we were able to ask questions and use examples specific to our work area. Nick was able to guide us through a real example of a project we wanted to develop, and teach us how best to go about completing it. Nick’s training has given us all much more confidence to use GIS in our work.”

“Nick provided the Team with an introductory GIS session and an advanced training session. The introductory session was a great refresher for members of the team that had GIS experience and a fantastic introduction for those that were new to GIS. The advanced training session was tailored to the teams needs and provided us with a really good understanding of how we can use GIS to pull out our data requirements. Nick provided us all with the confidence to progress and develop our spatial analysis skills and was communicative and engaging throughout. I’d highly recommend working with Nick.”

“The work Nick has carried out has helped us to greatly enhance the way we work with schools. The admissions dashboard he has helped us build allows us to quickly find points of collaboration as well as key demographic and student population data.”
