Overview

The Global Positioning System (GPS), which is a crucial component of geospatial technology, was initially developed by the United States Department of Defense for military purposes. However, it was made available for civilian use in the 1980s, leading to the widespread adoption of GPS in various applications, including navigation, mapping, and location-based services. In this immersive exploration, you'll traverse the ever-evolving landscape of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Basics, decoding the mysteries that lie beneath the surface.

As you navigate the cartographic voyage, you'll master the art of Spatial Data Management, where each data point becomes a beacon in the vast expanse of possibilities. Seamlessly transition into the realm of Spatial Analysis Techniques, where patterns unfold and insights emerge. Elevate your perspective with Remote Sensing and Imagery, as you decipher the language of pixels that paint a vivid portrait of our planet.

But it doesn't end there. Immerse yourself in the arcane arts of Geospatial Programming and Automation, sculpting a future where innovation and efficiency dance hand in hand. Finally, witness the real-world impact as you unravel GIS Applications and Real-World Projects, where theory seamlessly converges with practice. Unleash the power of Geospatial Technology, and become the architect of change in a world shaped by the fusion of geography and technology.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
