While many of you are highly skilled and talented GIS wizards, we all know folks who could use a bit of education and training to bring them up to speed! If you are not interested, I humbly ask you to pass this note along to them.
The 10th regular offering of the Central Connecticut State University GIS Certificate 1 program will begin again for the Fall Semester NEXT SATURDAY SATURDAY on 9/28.
Certificate 1 focuses on the foundational essential practical skills that all GIS practitioners and professionals in the field utilize on a regular basis. The two courses that will comprise Certificate 1 include
“GIS Fundamentals” and “Practical Applications of GIS”. This certificate program will introduce students to the initial tenants of GIS and progress through learning the software tools and how to accomplish basic tasks. Additionally students will be taught
how to utilize software tools and apply them with basic GIS principles to solve typical industry problems and answer questions raised to GIS professionals every day. Real world scenarios will provide exposure to methodologies and common practices that can
be directly tied to workplace projects and everyday GIS challenges. Students will be learning the most recent version of Esri’s ArcGIS platform including ArcGIS Pro. No prior GIS experience is required for this certificate program.
