A distance learning certificate in geospatial technologies is designed to give students a broad understanding of the geographic concepts that underpin geographic information systems (GIS) and related geospatial technologies, as well as develop practical skills in utilizing these technologies to address applications in a wide range of disciplines and domain areas. As a skills-based certificate, this program will focus on both ‘software knowledge’ and fundamental concepts related to spatial thinking and geographic information, and provide training in the tools and techniques required to utilize GIS and geospatial technologies in professional settings. |
