GIS Technician Certificate Program

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are one type of geospatial technology that offers a radically different way to produce and use “maps” to manage communities and industries. GIS is a computerized database management system for capture, store, retrieve, analyze and display of geographic information. Geographic Information Systems technicians assist scientists, engineer and related professionals designing or preparing graphic representations of GIS data, using GIS hardware and software applications, as well as analyzing GIS data to identify spatial relationships or display results of analysis using maps, graphs, or tabular data.
