BCIT Proposed Advanced Certificate in GIS Survey. Please fill out and pass around…
The BCIT GIS department is undertaking a needs assessment to determine the feasibility of offering an Advanced Certificate in GIS targeted to individuals who already have a professional degree and career. This Advanced Certificate could meet the ongoing educational credits required by professionals in various government and private sector organizations. It would allow you to broaden their existing skill set and make use of newer mapping technologies. The proposed Certificate would be taken through online courses so would be available to anyone anywhere.
Engineers, geologists and other natural resource professionals, municipal, environmental and many other professions for example, work with a voluminous amount of data from a variety of sources. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology provides the tools for creating, managing, analyzing, and visualizing the data associated with developing and managing assets, people and anything else mappable. GIS allows professionals to manage and share data and turn it into easily understood reports and visualizations that can be analyzed and communicated to others.
