Welcome
Are you able to approach problems and communicate solutions effectively? Can you operate specialized equipment and be precise and accurate in your work? SCC’s certificate program will provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to develop and manage Geospatial Technology Information projects and to interpret and implement GIS as a decision support system. SCC's program provides flexible, online delivery, offered part-time, and the certification can be completed within one year. Overview
The Geographic Information Systems Technician certificate is designed to meet the educational requirements of a prospective GIS technician. Technicians in this field generate, analyze, interpret, and communicate data derived by using GIS/GPS hardware and software applications. They may also set up and maintain GIS databases or websites, create maps and models for application of data, and provide technical support to users or clients. GIS is applicable to many industries and occupations, including, but not limited to, agriculture, public safety (fire, rescue and police), public health, transportation, facilities, land and utilities planning, and management. GIS technicians possess outstanding decision-making skills, listening skills, and problem-solving skills.
