FME is a versatile tool that provides spatial ETL (Extract, Transform & Load) capability for both vector and raster data. With FME, geospatial professionals can manage and integrate vector and raster data with one single solution – and even within the same data transformation session.

This training course provides an Introduction to FME intended for new users of FME or users who wish to refresh their skills and allows you to get the most out of your software investment. Our trainer will guide you through the functionality of FME, offering you help, advice and tips to improve your data translations and transformations along the way. Our training courses can help open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!

What our delegates say...

"The course was a good balance between introduction and some more advanced topics. A good vibe and interaction with the trainer and other delegates made it a worthwhile experience. The trainer did a good job at responding to some tough business related questions from the trainees which is key to understanding the technology in a real-world scenario. As I use FME already, I still got a lot out of the course in terms of learning the basics I never knew, some best practice tips and doing a number of hands-on examples. Definitely recommend it to the many users of FME who could grab much more value out of the software by using the knowledge gained on the course."
