| Re: Gis?
A GIS is a spatially referenced database. It is really just a computer programme and if you are happy with computers and like playing around you'll be able to sort out the basics pretty easily. For more training you'll need a course. Try the OU or even log into the ESRI website - they run on-line tutorials for a fee. Also the OS website is worth a look. Or as suggested by others do some voluntary work at a wildlife trust or something similar. If you go it alone you'll need the software and access to digital data (not cheap). The software is very cheap for education users but I don't know about individual licenses.
Good luck
